Mix one pint of granulated sugar with ½ pinto of warm water, and stir 2 minutes. Put 2½ ounces of Pinex (fifty cents worth) in a pint bottle and add the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly and has a pleasant taste -- children like it. Braces up the appetite and is slightly laxative, which helps end a cough.
