Whether the cause was due to nerves or an incipient cold was not known, but after a great deal of excitement and confusion, a friendly neighbour who was present popped out and returned with a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver. The bride-to-be, alter taking a lev/ sips, recovered the use of her voice much to the relief of everyone concerned. Here is another example where emergencies unexpectedly arise when “Baxter’s” is urgently required. Every home, every shop and every office should have a bottle of “Baxter’s” always on hand to deal with threatening colds, hoarsness. and sore throats. “Baxter’s” is absolutely unrivalled for obstinate chest colds, relieving tightness and shifting phlegm off the chest when nothing else will. “Baxter’s” tonic properties are also unique. Be sure you get “Baxter’s,” 1/6, 2/6, 4/6. Sold everywhere. —5
