other medicines I ever tried for
coughs, colds, croup and throat and
long troubles," says D. Scott Currin,
of Loganton, Pa. One Minute Cough
Cure is the only absolutely safe cough
remedy which acts immediately.
Mothers everywhere testify to thegood
it has dpne their little ones. Croup is
so sodden in its attacks that the doctor
often arrives too late. It yields at
once to One Minute Cough Core.
Pleasant to take. Children like it.
