COUGH MIXTURE FACTS.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD REMEDY AT HOME. BY A QPAUFIKD CHEMIST. Everybody knows that a good couyh and cold remedy consists of two main sections. The Erst section is the undiluted medicinal ingredients, or "essence," and the second is, or course, the necessary water and sweetening. The preparation of the medicinal ingredients requires trained knowledge, but the water and sweetening can be added in the kitchen just as easily as in a factory. And you save a lot of money by doing so. When you buy the two sections ready mixed you pay 1/6 for quite a small bottle—holding about two and a half ounces. For family purposes this small bottle lasts almost no time. A few doses and the bottle is empty. But, when you buy the first section—the "essence"—by itself, and add the water and sweetening at home, you get twenty ounces—a pint—for the same money. You actually get about eight bottles for the price of one. That is worth thinking about, isn't it ? Now, prove these facts by trying this Hean's Essence recipe. Into a jug put four tablespoonfuls of sugar, three of treacle, two of vinegar, and a large breakfast-cupful of warm water. Stir till dissolved, pour into a big bottle, add one bottle of Hean's Essence, and shake all together. There is no trouble, bother, or fuss of any kuid. A few drops to a child, or a spoonful to an adult, gives prompt and wonderful relief. It is pleasant to take, lasts a long time, and never spoils. It eases tickling coughs, soothes sore throats, and removes sticky phlegm in a way that surprises folks. It is a handy and genuine remedy for hoarseness, croup, bronchitis, asthma and the usual throat and lung troubles. Hean's Essence is 1/6 a bottle at most chemists and grocers. If yours does not yet stock it, he can easily obtain from his wholesaler for you. or post free on receipt of price from Hean. Chemist, Wanganui. Wherever you buy be sure you get Hean's. 6a
