"PINOCINE"
—AND WHAT IT IS
"Pinosino" is a proparation made from a combination of woll-known Chinese herbs and Wostern drugs. The Chinese herbs have hoan tried by generations of physicians and havo proved to be extremely useful, but their usefulness is not yet known outside China. Daily researches are being carried on by scientists in the investigation of such Chinese drugs and the knowledge of them is slowly fading its way in the scientific treatment of disonses all over the world. In the past, one serious obstacle in the use of Chinese herbs has been the inconvenience involved in the preparation of the horba for uso at each dose, but such and other obvious shortcomings are obviated in our proparation. The chief constituents of our mixture are:-
Park-law shin
Wild Cherry
Spitenord
Balsam Poplar Buds
Bitter almand (seed) Loy-fook-chi
Chuen-pal-mo
Peppermint
The Chinese herb-park law shin-has been known for generations in China, but hitherto the work entailed in its preparation has been somewhat tedious,
By means of considerable research, we have been enabled to produce a special concentrated form which makes "Pinocino" such a valuable remedy for coughs, or, as a general lung tonic.
"Pinocino" soothes the inflamed air passages, giving warmth and comfort to throat and chast and ralieving tightness and difficulty in broathing.
