The reason One Minute Cough Cure relieves a cough in one minute, is because it acts first on the mucous membrane right where the cough troubles—in the throat or deep-seated on the lungs, destroying the microbes or cough germs and clearing the phlegm.

Opens the air passages and promotes unobstructed breathing. Causes the blood to receive its natural supply of oxygen, thus exhilarating the pulmonary organs with such strength and vigor that the lungs and bronchial tubes become bulwarks against the inception of dis ease, Asthma, Bronchitis, La Grippe, Cold on the Lungs and all Pulmonary Complaints that are curabl* are quickly cured by the use of ONE MINUTE COUGH CURE Prepared by E.
