"A Pine Forest in a Bottle?
DEPS
FOR
"THE REMEDY YOU BREATHE.” Because their healing effect is so like the famous curative pine-forest air, 'Peps are often -described as" A Pine-Forest in a Bottle.""
You simply take a Peps out of its silver wrapper, plate it on the tongue, and breathe into throat, chest and lungs the pleasant healing fumes that are given off as the tablet dissolves.
This powerful Peps medicine reaches the inner- most recesses where liquid cough mixtures cannot penetrate. Peps soothe and heal sore inflamed membranes and protect the chest sgainst cold-season periis. Sore throat, coughs, colds, bronchitis, soon yield to
these wonderful Peps tablets.
