Ask for "STOPIT," Loasby's Lung Tonic. It is soothing and effective. —6 IMPROVING THE HAIR. If you wish to improve your hair, follow the advice of specialists and brush it. Hair Brushes will never be cheaper than they are at E. Cameron Smith's this month. A special purchase enables- us to sell 14/6 brushes for 5/6, 25/6 brushes for 14/6, and many more proportionately reduced. E. Cameron Smith.

When you consider the number of preparations on the market which are recommended (for Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Night Coughing Asthma), all of which are suitable for children or adults, you will realise the necessity for a mixture which contains ingredients suitable for adults 6nly. Tavener's "Plus .4" contains those ingredients, therefore must be much stronger and more suited for adult conditions of the throat, chest, and lungs.
