Experience Letters! WRITE ONE! Twenty Guineas for the Best Twenty Shillings each for the Twenty Next BestTo all others who send an “Experience Letter or Letters” a bottle of Kean’s Essence will be mailed post-free MANY thousands of bottles of Mean’s Essence are used in the homes of the people of New Zealand. By the addition of water and sweetening, one bottle of Mean’s Essence makes a very large bottle of the finest cough, cold and sore throat remedy it is possible to obtain. It supplies from seven to eight eighteen-penny bottles for the price of one. THE splendid mixture thus made from Mean’s Essence proves worthy wherever used.- Some people find it good for asthma, others for bronchitis, others for croup - and whooping-cough, still others for dry, hacking, irritating throat coughs. Many people find prompt relief when using Mean’s Essence mixture for hard coughs, dry coughs, night coughs, and phlegmy coughs. Inflamed, swollen throats are given instant relief when the mixture is used as a gargle. There are many ailments in the cough, cold and sore throat classes in which Mean’s Essence mixture quickly proves a friend in need, and a comfort whenever used. WITH/over 30 years retail chemist’s experience 1 knew when I first announced Mean’s Essence that .I was putting up a thoroughly good article. The benefits, however, have been greater than even I anticipated. I AM now compiling a book about Mean’s Essence — how to make the finished mixture—what the finished mixture is good for—how to use it to obtain the best • and quickest results. In this book I want to tell the experiences of others—how you who use Mean’s Essence make your finished mixture—whether you follow the directions on label, or whether you have discovered a better method. Tell me what sweetening you use—• whether you use more or less than directed on label. MY directions on Mean’s Essence label advise four tablespoonfuls of sugar and three of treacle to be added. This has proven good. Hundreds x>f coughing people have followed the directions ana obtained excellent results. Others have done a little experimenting on their own. One mother has written that she uses two tablespoonfuls only of sugar and adds enough honey to make up the difference. Another has stated that folks in her home prefer equal parts of Golden Syrup and Malt Extract in place of sugar. Prepared in this way her Mean’s Essence mixture has proven a cure for Quinsy. How do you make your Family Cough /Mixture from Mean’s Essence ? TELL me about it in a short letter. Tell me also how you use the mixture after it is made. Do you fake it in teaspoonful doses, or smaller, or larger doses ? Do you sip each dose quite slowly so as to lubricate the throat as much as possible ? One Wanganui mother mixes a tablespoonful of the finished mixture with half a tumblerful of cold water, and then gives a teaspoonful to her children several times a day. This method keeps any phlegm quite loose, and never allows a cough to get to a bad stage. It cured two of her children of whooping cough. A WELLINGTON business man had a chronic cough for years. It was a constant everyday annoyance to him. By thoroughly gargling his throat with a tablespoonful of Mean’s Essence mixture (made at home) every hour or/ so the cough and throat irritation completely disapoeared within a week. His wife mixed Mean’s Essence with water, sugar, malt extract, and vinegar, and gave him a small bottle to take to his office so that he might take his doses regularly. THE mistress of an infants’ school had, like other mistresses, been much annoyed by the constant coughing of many of the pupils. She found Mean’s Essence so cheap when diluted to a pint that she now keeps a bottle on her school desk and gives a dose to coughing children whenever required. She instructs each child to keep each dose in the mouth as long as possible before swallowing. This gives practically immediate relief, and has increased the attendance because of the improved Jiealth. THUS, you see, there are different ways of making Mean’s Essence into a good family cough, cold and sore throat mixture. There are also different ways of using it after it is mixed.
