Yours Bill Bluegum. Bill's education may have been neglected, but he displayed wisdom when he included Heenzo in his order, for in homes where families are large and incomes small cough mixture made from Heenzo has proved a veritable blessing. Here is the recipe for mixing it: Pour a large breakfastcupful of warm water into a jug and in it dissolve three tablespoonfuls of sugar. (If treacle or honey are not on hand use double quantity of sugar.) When cool, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a phial of Heenzo, and pour into a large, clean, tightlycorked bottle, ready for use, as required. Full directions for taking will be found with the Heenzo, which may be obtained from any chemist or store for 2s. As the above recipe produces a family supply of cough mixture, which, if bought in a lot of little bottles, would cost anything up to 13s according to quality, it will be readily seen that a big saving is to be effected iu making Heenzo Cough Mixture. As Heenzo does not contain any paregoric, laudanum or other opium it may be given ■ to little children without fear of harmful effects. V
