NOT AN ILLUSION. Last Friday night a gentleman with bleary eyes and a terrible cough told us that he hadn’t slept a wink for nights, and what could we give him to ease his cold. Of course we handed over a bottle of 101 Cough Mixture and told him it was the finest remedy he could buy—which was quite true. He shuffled out with a sort of doubtful “just-some-more-salesman’s-talk” look on his face. Two or three days later he called back. “What’s the idea of charging 2/6 for this 101 Cough Mixture?” he, burst out. We missed a heart-beat —this was the first complaint we’d had since a mother said that 101 tasted far too nice, for her “young hopeful” had accounted for three-quarters of a bottle. However, he soon put us at ease. “Look here) I’d have paid 10/6 for that bottle.’ he said “Three doses and I was a new man. It cut the phlegm and cleared my throat immediately. Yes, sir. Im telling all my friends that 101 is the cough mixture for me. ’ 101 Cough Mixture -is obtainable at 2/6 per large bottle from all leading grocers. It is double strength and therefore doubly effective.*
