BITRATE OF TAR STOPS COUGHS AND COLDS.
HELPFUL HINT BY A SPECIALIST. Coughs, colds, catarrh, and throat and bronchial troubles are nearly always indications of an inflamed or abnormal condition of the mucous lining of tlio throat and nasal and bronchial passages; and this inflammation 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 iise bitrate of tar is to add two ounces of it to a plain syrup made by dissolving half a pound of sugar in half a pint of hot water. Mix thoroughly and talce 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 chronio coughs. Care should be taken to ask your ohemist for the bitrate of tar as, in addition to being pleasant to the taste, this is, practically the only form suitable for use in cases of coughs and colds. 10
