A WISE WOMAN.
"Xn, thank you; I want Ilcan's Essence, and nothing else. 1 have already tried Ilcan's, and if it costs double the jiriee I would willingly pay that price." The proprietor of Henri's Essence [md just stepped into a shop where patent medicines are sold, when a lady customer was using the-words above related. He was unknown to either shopman or customer'. Apparently the lady had formerly tried ftcan's Essence for making her own good family cough and cold remedy, had proved it good, and desired to purchase another bottle. The man behind the counter wanted to sell her something else —probably he would make a little more profit for 'himself—but his "just as good" substitute, didn't appeal. Certainly the lady was clearly within her rights. She hadasked plainly for Hcan's Essence, and because she had formerly proven its quality and moneysaving value, insisted upon getting that which she wanted—HEAN'S. She left the shop with Hean's Essence and satisfaction in her hand —she was a wise woman.
