COUGH MIXTURE FACTS.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD REMEDY AT HOME. 5? A QUALIFIED CHEMIST, Everybody knows that a good cough end cold remedy consists of two main sections. The first section is the undiluted medicinal ingredients, or "essence," and the second is, of course, the necessary water and sweetening. The preparation of the medicinal ingredient! 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't Esscnce 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 Mean's Essence, and shake all together. There is no trouble, bother, or fuss of any kind. A few drops to a child, or a 6poonful to an adult, gives prompt and wonderful relief. It is pleasant to take, lasts a long time, and never spoils. It cases tickling coughs, soothes sore throats, and removes sticky phlegm in a way that surprises folks.
