CHILLY night-temperatures are
making throats sore, hoarse and irritated, It's the chill that in- flames the throat which often leads to bronchitis and lung trouble.
The quickest and best remedy for throat or chest is the real breatheable Peps tablets. As they dissolve on the tongue, Peps give off powerful medicinal fumes that pass with the breath into the innermost recesses.
In this speedy direct way Peps find out and exterminate disease germs; they end all soreness, in- flammation and irritation, and extend a beneficient soothing and healing influence on the whole of the breathing passages..
Peps are equally good for bronchitis, bron. chial asthma, obstinate coughs, etc., and· they afford valuable protection against dangerous chills and fevers.
