"OUT OF THE.FBYING PAN INTO THE ICE CHEST." . That is,how aa Australian said he felt after leaving Australia during the recent heat wave there and arriving in New Zealand in the middle of our unseasonable cold spell. His criticism was pardonably exaggerated, as he got a nasty cold soon after his arrival. He had, however, nothing but praise for New Zealand's great remedy, Baxter's Lung Preserver. "Baxter's," he considers, saved him some valuable days that he would otherwise have spent in bed. The visitor was only one of thousands who were caught unawares with colds recently and who relied: on good old "Baxter's" to overcome the attacks. At least nine people out of ten seem to prefer "Baxter's" as a remedy for all coughs, colds, bronchitis, sore throats, and for relief in cases of asthma, whooping cough, etc. The extreme palatability of "Baxter's" always makes a very big appeal to children. No persuasion is required. Be sure you have "Baxter's" always on hand. Any chemist or storekeeper.can supply. In three sizes, 4s 6d, 2s 6d, and Is 6d.—Advt.
