1 t THE WISDOM OF A CHILD. i A curious little incident occurred re--5 ccntly in Christchurch. A gentleman . from Wellington happened to be stayt ing with some friends in Fendalton, and as he had contracted a slight chill, I he was persuaded by his hostess to • go to bed for a few days. On the > morning of the second day, a little : child in the house, aged two years, went to her mother with the remark, “Tom cold, Mummie, Tom cold.” The lady was rather disturbed to think that perhaps her visitor had not enough blankets on his bed, but he assured her that he was quite all right. Still the child persisted in making the remark, “Tom cold, Mummie, Tom cold,” finally persuading her mother to accompany her to the pantry when the little one pointed to a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver, again saying "Tom cold, Mummie, Tom cold.” What the youngster wished to point out was that the visitor would be relieved with a dose of “Baxter’s,” no doubt having iu mind the fact that she herself had been assisted on some previous occasion. For over sixty years Baxter’s Lung Preserver has been the favourite cough and cold remedy in New Zealand. When those of such tender years know the sterling worth of this line old remedy, it is little wonder that it has steadily grown in public favour. Besides being a splendid cough mixture, “B:|'xter’s” possesses unique tonic properties which help to build one up. It is a. rich, red, warming, soothing compound that does you good from (he first dose. biases sore throats and relieves bronchial troubles in a wonderful manner. You can get a gen-erous-sized bottle of “Baxter’s” from any chemist or store for 2s. (id., or better still, the more economical family size at -Is. Gtl. For those in lodgings there is the bachelor size at eigh teenpence.—AdvL
