THE “TWO HAT TRICK” An old English cure for a cold was “to hang one’s hat on the bedpost, drink from a bottle of good whisky until two hats appear, and then get into bed and stay there.” Doctors disagree about the advantages of alcohol in the treatment of a cold, but all will probably agree on the second part of the advice, “to get into bed and stay there.” Unfortunately, this is not possible for everyone and the majority have to be content with taking what precautions they can plus regular doses of Baxters Lung Preserver. “Baxters” is the most palatable, the most effective and the most firmly established of all cough remedies. Scores of preparations have come and gone during the 80 years of “Baxters” popularity. The merit 7 of “Baxters” lies in its prompt action, its penetrating, soothing qualities and its outstanding excellence as an expectorant. Make sure you have a bottle of “Baxters” on hand. Colds strike quickly this weather. Ask for “Baxters” and accept nothing but “Baxters.” . I Baxters Ltd., 602 Colombo Street, 1 Christchurch.—Advt,
