DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
MAKING BEST COUGH SYRUP AT HOME. (BY A QUALIFIED- CHEMIST.) There is much talk nowadays of economy and retrenchment. The cost of living has gone up, and up, and up. Cough and cold mixtures take a lot of money, particularly where there is a family. An ordinary eighteenpenny bottle of cough medicine goes nowhere. A dose or two and the mixture is done. Wise mothers and fathers now make their own family cough syrup. In thousands of homes much money is saved in this way. Take a bottle of Hean's Essence, a little treacle, sugar, and a break fastcupful of water, as per simple directions on the label. These make a pint of the finest cough remedy. That means seven to eight ordinary-size bottles— twelve shillings' worth lor 2s. And it's a really splendid mixture.
Hean's Essence contains all the necessary medicinal ingredients. You add the sweetening and water yourself, and save all unnecessary expenses. " Please send me another bottle of Hean s Essence. The pint of mixture I made from the last bottle has proved the best cough medicine I have ever used — H. King, Tuparoa Bay, East Coast, North Island.
Hean s Essence is sold by all chemists and grocers throughout the Dominion or post free, on receipt of price—from Hean, the Chemist, Wangamii. Be sure you get H-E-A-N-'S.
