"PINOCINE"
—AND WHAT IT IS
"Pinocino" is a proparation made from a combination of woll-known Chinesa horbs and Westorn drugs. The Chinese herbs have been tried by generations of phyeloians and have proved to be extremely useful, but their usefulness is not yet known outside China, Daly researches are being carried on by scientists in the investigation of such Chinoeo drugs and the knowledge of them is slowly finding its way in the sciontifa treatment of diseases all over the world. In the past, one serious obstacle in the use of Chinese horbs has boon the inconvenience involved in the preparation of the herbs for use at cach dose, but such and other obvious shortcomings are obvisted in our preparation. The chief constituents of our mixture are:-
Park-Inw shin
Wild Cherry Spikenard'
Balsam Poplar Buds
Bitter almond (seed) Lay-fook-chi
Chuen-pui-mo Peppermint
The Chinese herb-park law shin-has been known for gonerations in China, but hitherto the work ontailed in its preparation has been somewhat tedious.
By means of considerable research, we have boon enabled to produce a special concentrated form which makes "Pinocine" such a valuable remedy for coughs, or as a
general lung tonio
"Pinocino" soothes the inflamed air passages, giving warmth and comfort to throat and chest and relieving tightness and difficulty in breathing.
