Child sufferers from bronch- its, whooping cough or any tendency to wheeziness diffi- culty in breathing, barking cough or throat weakness- should be given these chest- comforting Peps every day.
As Peps tablets are dissolved in the mouth, they give off
volatile healing fumes which are breathed straight into the lungs. This pleasant and agreeable Peps medicine soothes and comforts the delicate air-tubes and extends a strength- ening, purifying and invigorating influence over the entire breathing system..
Peps make children robust and strong-chested and better able to combat the deadly throat and chest affections
o prevalent in our climate.
FREE FROM HÄRMFUL DRUOS. · Peps can be taken with perfect benest and safety, by everybody. A tablet crashed into powder is a con yenient way to administer Pepe to young children. This destroys barmful germs and anamra poscaiņi sinop without troeblesome coughing boats."
