THE HOLLYFORD RIVER VALLEY. AN EARLY DISCOVERY. In 1884, Mr S. H. Moreton, the explorer and artist, accompanied by Mr W. Y. Hall, an Invercargill solicitor, went on a sketching tour in the now famous Hollyford River Valley. After three days’ tramp from the head of Lake Wakatipu they reached the Lake Harris Saddle at over 4000 feet. In the bush just below the pass, they found the remains of an old camp. Fossicking round for some means of identifying their predecessor, the only familiar object they saw was an empty Baxter’s Lung Preserver bottle. Considering that every pound of provisions had to be “swagged” by this old-time camper, obviously he had no doubt as to the value of “Baxter’s” to safeguard him from the constant changes in temperature of those high altitudes. Fram New Zealand’s earliest pioneering days “Baxter’s” has been the recognised standby for coughs, colds and similar ailments. To-day ‘‘Baxter’s” is still New Zealand’s first line of defence against colds, coughs, sore throats. Sold by chemists and stores everywhere. Is Cd, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.— Advt.
