THE STORY OF HEAN'S ESSENCE.

BY THE MANUFACTURER. A QUALIFIED CHEMIST. For twenty years and more. I have made and sold pood family cough mixture. During all those years the regular teachings of apprenticeship days were followed. That is. I mixed the hiedical ingredient* —ilie undiluted "(--once" of the finished mixture—in poorer proportions, added the necessary wafer and sweetening, and bottled in ih" u.mal eighteenponny si/e. Tins si7e would hold from 2i to 3 ounces. It would require frojti seven to eight bottles to make a pint. Note that carefully. But recently I altered the method of apprenticeship days. 1 pepped clear away from habit and custom. In place of giving you a cough mixture for family purposes nil ready to take, I now mix the medicinal ingredients only. and leave you to add the water and sweetening. This part of the finished mixture is done as easily by you in your kitchen us i: is in any factory, and the cost enormaus!v reduced.

Formerly you bought a pint of good rough mix;ure by the process of one small bottle at a time. You paid from 10s to 12s for it You really bought a number of unnecessary small bottles, corks, labels, circulars and outside wrappers. You also paid for much labour in the form of bottlewashing, filling, corking, wrapping, and various handlings. All these things and labour cost money, and all were useless expense to you. It is true that each item in itself did not amount to much, but it is equally true that totalled together, the unnecessary expenses were very considerable—about 10s on a pini. •

My new manufacturing method means that now you buy a bottle of Mean's Es eenoe— add the necessary water ard sweetening at. home, use any clean, large empty bottle to hold the finished mixture, attach the spare label sent with each b.'ttle of Mean's Essence, and ihe result i* a pint of the finest cough, cold, and sore throat remedy that you can possibly obtain. This brings the cost of an ordinary eighteenpenny bottle down to less than fourpencc. Try Moan's Essence to-day. Satisfy your self that what 1 sin is correct. Clef a bottle from your chemist or grocer, finish according to the en-v directions you will find on lal>cl. and then, if you are not fully satisfied that Mean's Essence makes the best cough mixture for family purposes you have ever used, send me the empty bottle and packet with your name and address. and 1 will promptly refund your money in full. The saving \- yours—the risk is mine. That, i* a guarantee that makes voti safe at all points. NOTE.—Mean's Essence docs not contain any poison. There is no morphia, opium, liudanum. paregoric, chlorodyne. or other harmful drug in it. It is pure, effective, harmless, economical. It is now regularly sold by most chemists, but if yours does not yet stock it he can easily obtain from his wholesaler for you. or sent post frr-o on receipt of price—2s. from G. \Y. Mean, chemist, Wanganui. Wherever you buy be sure vou get. Mean's Essence a* no other will do.—Advt.
