O all
most prevalent and cer- tainly the most persist. ent. It is really an inflammation of the "bronchials." These tubes are like the branches and twigs of a tree and lead from the windpipe to every part of the lungs.
נו
When, through chill, breathing foul air, or other adverse influences, irritation or inflammation is set up in the bronchials, the natural secretion of mucus is enar- mously increased and this causes the persistent cough which is Nature's effort to free the air-passages of obstructions.
It is little use swallowing druggy mixtures into your stomach. In all deep-seated coughs and colds Peps are the urgent need. This great breatheable remedy, bathing "the sore bronchial tubes with rich healing pine fumes, loosens phlegm, allays the
the cough, heals irritated membranes, and subdues any inflammation that may be
present.

No matter whether your bronchitis, bronchial asthma or cough be,, of recent origin or aggravated by years of neglect, you cannot afford to overlook the benefits which 'Peps alone give. It virtually means bringing the comfort- ing, chest-strengthening breath of Alpine pine forests to your bedside.
It is a wise protective policy to take Pepa regularly. throughout the cold-season.
Peps are by far the safest and best remedy ever dis- covered for coughs, colds, chills, sore throats, laryngitis, bronchitis, asthma, and other chest and lung perils that threaten in our climate.
CHILD. SUFFERERS from bronchitis, wheeziness, difficult breathing, croupy .cough or throat trouble, should be given a few Peps. tablets to suck regularly every day. Youngsters like the taste of Papa and take them with the utmost benellt, whereas 'nauseous druggy cough-mixtures upset and weaken their delicate stomacha,
