RAILWAY CONVERSATION.

Two life-long friends were sitting in a railway carriage talking as they travelled. One, a tailor by trade, had for many months previously suffered from a relaxed throat, caused by constant smoking. In addition, bis breathing tubes were affected, and much blocked by phlegm each morning on waking. Fortunately, ho had found a euro. His friend, a watchmaker, was less fortunate. Even then he was' more or less choked by cold and phlegm. His voice was thick and stuffy—the nasal passages were too filled to admit clear breathing. Said the tailor, “ See, old chap, you get a bottle of the stuff that fixed mo up. It’s great.'-' “■What is it?”

“ Well, it is simply Hean’s Essence. I’m a single man, a’s you know, but I took a bottle home, and my landlady broke it down with water and sweetening. and then put it into two goodsized bottles for mo. Ono I left iu my room, the other 1 took to the shop and put it on my bench. hen I first got it my throat and tubas and nose were all pretty bad, and had been so for a long time; but having a sup-. plv both at home and at work. I was able, to take a dose as often as I wanted to. I tell you, Frank, Hean’s Essence is great. Each time I quietly sipped a. dose, or gargled my throat with it, I got a sense of warmth and comforting relief that was just all right. “ Anyway, the mixture gave me so much ease and proved such a comfort that T am confident yon will bo as well satisfied with it, as I was. My old doctor used to say that I had catarrh of the nose and throat, but whether J had or not, there is no trace of it now. Mean’s Essence certainly fixed me up. Besides, old chap, look ■at its wonderful cheapness. A bottle ! of ordinary cough mixture at oighteen- . pence a time used to last me no time. A bottle of Hean’s Essence broken down with water and sweetening makes , about eight of those blessed eigliteen- ; penny bottles. Look at the saving! j Why, man, it is simply wonderful, and ; gives you a supply of cough mixture 1 for only 2s that is worth having. Take ! my tip, and try it,.” The above is true report of a. conversation that actually occurred recently in a- railway carriage. The ( tailor’s experience is duplicated in liunI deeds and thousands of cases of roughs, , colds and catarrh all over Austral- ' asia. Hean’s Essence is sold by most l chemists and stores, in bottles, 2s each, or promptly mailed, post free, on receipt of price, from G. W. Hean, Family Chemist, Avenue, Wanganui. , Just lie sure vou do as the tailor did—get H-E-A-N-’S. 12
