A PARTING GIFT. “That’s a New One on Me.’’ An original idea for a parting gift was brought to light by an incident which took place at Thorndon Station, Wellington, recently, when a young couple were seeing another couple off to Auckland for their holidays. “Here you are, Doris,” said the girl to her friend on the train. “How’s this for a parting present ? —surfe to keep you from getting your usual travelling cold.” With those words she handed over a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver. “Well, that’s a new one on me,” remarked the husband, “but there’s no doubt that if anything can stave off my wife’s usual ooid, ‘Baxter’s’ will do the trick.” Baxter's Lung Preserver relieves, heals and strengthens. Coughs, colds, ’flu and chest ailments vanish quickly after a few doses of this pleasant specific. “Baxter’s” also possesses bracing tonic properties. Generoussized bottlo 2s 6d, family size 4s 6d, and bachelor’s bottle Is 6d. All chemists and stores. —Advt.
