"The Remedy You Breathe'

THESE wonderit! Peps breathcable tablets

bring the valuable air-like medicine of the Fine Forests into direct contact with the throat and bronchial tubes. When dissolved slowly, in the mouth, these valuable soothing and artiseptic fumes are liberated and carried with the breath deep into the chest and lungs— where liquid medicine cannot possibly penetrate..

Deep Into Chest and Lungs.

In this direct way, Peps illay soreness and inflammation inside the bronchial tubes. They cut choking phlegm and quickly clear and strengthen all the breathing passages. Peps have solved the problem of ending throat and bronchial troubles without the aid of dangerous drugs like lagdadu, chlora!, morphia, etc.
