FOR RELIEF OF
COUGHS THAT
GRIP YOUR THROAT
When you have one of these
coughs that are hard and
dry, when the coughing is
violent and yet you can’t
seem to loosen up the
phlegm, the syrup you need
is Rexillana. This unusually
pleasant tasting syrup quick
ly reduces the congestion,
and gently soothes and heals
the irritation.
