Peps Strengthen "The Weak Spot" & Soon
Banish that roublesome
FOU OUGH!
A cough is Nature's way of telling you that
there is something wrong with the throat and breathing tubes-something that the Peps breatheable remedy will speedily put right.
Maybe the delicate membranes are chilled and sore, or disease germs having found the weak spot, are hard at work. producing irritation and inflammation..
To ignore a persistent cough is like paving the way for chronic bronchitis, asthma or other serious chest and lung disease.
You need Peps the true breatheable remedy, which cures the most troublesome cough by removing the cause. When a Peps tablet is stripped of its silver wrapper and dissolved in the mouth, powerful fumes are liberated. This healing, germicidal medicine is carried with the breath into the innermost recesses of the lungs. It bathes the lining membranes of the throat and breathing tubes, exterminates disease germs, and speedily removes all irritation and inflammation.
Thus Peps enable you to end your cough or cold in Nature's way, by breathing in the remedy the same way as the germs causing the trouble were breathed in. Isn't this sounder and more 'commonsense than dosing the stomach with dangerous drug laden cough-mixtures?
PEPS
