The first symptom of the acute form is tightness or sorg. mess of the chest right behind the upper part of the breast bone, with a little hoarseness and tickling at the back of the throat and with this is a very annoying hacking, dry cough which sets up Inflammation.
POWERFUL MEDICINAL FUMES.
Bronchitis gets more distressing as winter approaches .unless the sufferer lopts the proper treatment, which is,
supplied by Peps, the wonderful breathe-able remedy.
When she handy turk Peps tablet is stripped of its silver jachet 'and' placed in the mouth, powerful medicinal' fumes. are given off which impregnate the air we breathe with all! the chest-strengthening virtues of the pine forest, and as this medicinal air is breathed down the windpipe (where liquidi medicine cannot pass), the cure is at once begun.
