The Better Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita- tion—more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation—for a while. You take SCOTT'S EMULSION and it curl's the cold. That's what is necessary'. it soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation ; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation ; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their n,ltttrai strength.
