“NO HANDKERCHIERS.”
THE KING’S DILEMMA. Human nature changes little as can be seen from this passage from Pepys’s Diary: “I was witness to a horrid rateing which Mr. Ashburnham, as one of the grooms of the King’s Bedchamber, did give him for want of linen for the King’s person; which he swore was not to be endured, and that the King, his father, would have hanged his Wardrobeman should he have served so, the King having at this day no handkerchers.”
Thus one cold caused' much consternation in the royal household' —just as it might to-day in any home wher there is no Baxter’s Lung Preserve) to be found.
To-day there is always an S.O.S. for “Baxter’s” from both old and young, who have learned that this rich, warm, soothing compound gives quick relief for every cough or influenza cold. Be prepared for an urgent call tor “Baxter’s” the most, reliable. specific with its famous tonic properties. Throe sizes 1/G, 2/G ami the. big 4/b size that most mothers find best. Advt.
