Night Coughing
Quickly Stopped
New Way Simple Buft"
Very Effective
Night coughing, with its distressing
loss of sleep and dangerous sapping
of strength and vitality, can now be
almost instantly checked through a
simple but wonderfully effective treat-
ment that is economical, too.
This treatment is based on the fa-
mous prescription known as Dr. King's
New Discovery for Coughs. For aston-
ishing relief make this test tonight
before retiring:—Simply take one tea-
spoonful and hold it in the throat for
15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it.
The prescription has a double action.
It not only soothes and heals soreness
and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and conges-
tion which are the real cause of night
coughing. So with the cause removed, •
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
the whole ni^ht through.
The Dr. King's New Discovery pre-
scription is for coughs, chest colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis,
spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children
as well as grown-up^ —no harmful
drugs. At all 'good druggists. Ask for
