OLD COLD-FIGHTING CUSTOMS,

Many queer old customs are still dying hard in parts of the north of England. For instance, any child who contracted whooping cough was carried willy-nilly to the nearest tar-boiler and held ruthlessly in the fumes. Or it might be taken to the top of a neighbouring hill in the hope that the trouble might be "blown away" by a friendly gale. The New Zealand mother does not have to go far to find a much better and decidedly more pleasant treatment. Wisely she keeps a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver in her home. At the first symptom of a cold, mother immediately gives the child a dose of "Baxter's." This rich, red, warming, soothing compound relieves inflammation and congestion, banishes feverishness, and assists normal breathing. The excellent tonic properties of "Baxter's" help build up strength and resistance against attacks. "Baxter's," too, has a palutabl") flavour that all little folk enjov. Order "Baxter's" with I vour groceries or send to-dtiy to the nearest chemist or store. Three sizes, 1/6, 2/6 and the big 4/0 family bottle. (Ad.)

Freshest, purest, richest for 30 years —of course, it's Opotiki, New Zealand's finest butter. — (Ad.)
