BITRATE OF TAR STOPS COUGHS AND COLDS. Coughs, colds, catarrh, and throat and broi-chial troubles are nearly always indications of an inflamed or .abnormal condition of the mucous lining of the throat and nasal and bronchial passages; and this minflammation or abnormal condition must be remedied before the trouble will disappear Recent tests show that bitrate of tar exercises a peculiarly soothing and healing effect on these tissues, and it is doubtless because of this action that coughs, colds, catarrh, and bronchial troubles so quickly benefit by its use. The best way to_ use bitrate of tar is to add two ounces of it to a pound of sugar in half a pint of hot water. Mix thoroughly and take one or two tablespoonsful every hour until the trouble disappears. Because of its tonic properties this syrup will be found particularly strengthening and beneficial to those who have been weakened and run down by chronic coughs. Care should be taken to ask your chemist for the bitrate of tar, as, in addition to being pleasant to the teste, this is rjra,otically the only form suitable for use in cases of coughs and colds.
