DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

MAKING THE 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 Tip and up. Parents welcome any lightening of the burden. 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 breakf astcupful of water, as per the simple directions on the label. These make a pint ;of the finest cough remedy. That means seven "to eight ordinary-size bottlestwelve shillings' worth for 2/-. And it's a really splendid mixture. Hean's Essence contains all the necessary medicinal ingredients. You add*the sweetening and the water yourself and save all unnecessary expenses. Hean's Essence mixture prepared in your own home is simply splendid for coughs, eolds, influenza, and sore throats. It's fine, too, for whooping-cough, bronchitis, and asthma. It has a nice warm, soothing, stimulating effect, which does good all the way down. Suitable for the whole family: a few drops for the tiniest toddler and a spoonful for the grown-ups. - " "Please send me another bottle of Hean's Essence. The pint of mixture I made from the last bottle has proved g the best cough medicine I have ever 7 used. —H.
