DAME MELBA’S £20,000 COLD. The ordinary mortal does not regard a cold as a matter of serious consequence; but it is quite a different affair when that common complaint afflicts a star like Dame Nellie Melba. Says the Wellington Evening Post: “Speaking of the enforced postponement of her appearance as Desdemona during the grand opera season in Australia because of a cold in the head, Melbai told a pressman that She once neglected a cold and went on the platform when her vocal chords were ‘pink.’ As a consequence- she was unable to sing for nearly six months. ‘That cold,’ she said, ’'cost me about £20,000.’ This, it has been remarked, works out at something like a pound a microbe.’’ Of course, there is really no need for any person to tolhrate a cold or cough when Baxter’s Lung Preserver is handy. A short course of this sterling specific disposes of the most chronic throat, chest or bronchial alfections in doublequick time. Famous singers, speakers and actors say that “Baxter’s” keeps the vocal organs in fine condition. Baxter’s Lung Preserver also contains splendid tonic properties which help to build up run-down constitutions. You can obtain a generous-sized bottle of “Baxter’s” from any chemist or store for 2/6; or, better still, get the family size at 4/6. 72A
