Bill's education may have been neglected, but he -displayed wisdom when he included Heenzo in his order, for in homes where families are large and incomes small cough mixture made from Heenzo has proved a veritable blessing. Here is the recipe for mixing it: —Pour a large breakfastcupful of warm water into a jug and in it dissolve three tablespoonfuls of treacle or honey and four tablespoonfnls of sugar. (If treacle or honey are not on hand use double quantity oisugar.). When cool, addtwotabkspoonfnJs of vinegar and a phial of Heenzo, and pour into a large, clean, tightlycorked bottle, ready for use, as required. Full directions for taking will be found with the Heenzo, which may be obtained from any chemist or store for 2s. As the above recipe produces a family supply of cough mixture, which, if bought in a lot of little bottles, would cost anything up to 13s according to quality, it will be readily Been that a big saving is to be effected in making Heenzo Cough Mixture. As Heenzo does not contain any paregoric, laudanum, or other opium extracts, it may be given to little children without fear of harmful effects.—Advt.
