THEY CHRISTENED HIM "FIDO."

Dorothy: I hear they are calling Jack "Fido" now.

Jane: Yes, it's because of that barking cough lie, has. He's refused to take anything for it and doesn't deserve any pity. If he, had taken Baxter's Lung Preserver to start with . that cough would never have developed into such a bark.

Always play safe. Get busy with "Baxter's" before .your cold gets worse. "Baxter's," Is 6dj 2s 6d, and 4s 6d everywhere.—Advt.
