BRITISH MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL ABANDONS COMMON COLD INVESTIGATION. The "London Daily Hail" reports that the common cold in working clays alone costs Britain no lees than £15,000,000 per year, and is etill, after 100 years of research, an unsolved mystery. The report stated that reliance must still be placed on safeguards based on the advice of prominent medical men, as follows:— Follow an outdoor life as much as possible. Walk every day. Keep rooms ventilated. Wear clothing neither light enough to admit cold nor heavy enoughs to promote perspiration. Wear sound boots or shoes. And had the report been issued in New Zealand, it might confidently be expected. that the recommendation might very well include the prompt taking of- Baxter's Lung Preserver directly an attack of a common cold germ takes place. To-day, as for many years past, "Baxter's" is New Zealancrs- first line of defence against colds, and, to-day is more firmly established than ever as the most reliable remedy with the famous tonic properties. Children love its flavour. AH chemists and stores sell "Baxter's." 1/C, 2/6 and 4/6.—(Ad.)'
