SPLENDID REMEDY FOR CHILDREN'S COUGHS Mothers all over New Zealand aie making in their own homes as good a remedy as money can buy for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Croup, Influenza, Bronchitis, and Sore Throats. All they do is to buy from their chemist or store a two shilling bottle of Heenzo and add to it water and sweetening matter enough to make up to one pint Such a quantity of ready-made cough mixtures would cost at least 12s. The beauty of Heenzo mixture is that it contains no paregoric, lauranum or other opium drugs, which are apt to do untold harm to your chidlren. From all chemists and stores, or direct from Hean's Pharmacy, Wanganui, on receipt of price, 2s. Wherever you buy, be sure you get the genuine and original Heenzo (Hean's Essence). No other will do.
