BAXTER—MASTER MUSICIAN.
An interesting incident was related to Mr. Baxter, of Baxter's Lung Preserver fame, recently, when a father explained that as his email son showed an early fondness for music he had made a practice of telling him each night before he went to bed the name and abbreviated biography of one- of the famous composers. In introducing him to Mendelssohn, the father advised the boy to remember this difficult name by its similarity to the word "medicine." The next evening, to test his knowledge, his father questioned him regarding the composers of whom he had told him. The lad remembered the first four correctly, and then his father said, "Now, Donald, what was the name of the new master musician you learnt last night?" Donald wrinkled his brows in deep thought and then replied, "I know, daddy, it was Baxter!" It may be mentioned that the father and son are firm believers in a small daily dose of "Baxter's" during the winter months.
Baxter's Lung Preserver is a rich, red, warming, soothing compound that does good from the first dose. It is invaluable for coughs, colds, sore throats, influenza and all bronchial ailments, and also possesses unique tonic properties. "Baxter's" is now put up in bottles with a screw cap which preserves the contents and makes a perfect seal. It can be obtained at all chemists and stores— generous-sized bottle for 2/6, economical mothers prefer the large family size at 4/6; and the 1/6 bottle is handy for bachelors. —(Ad.)
