OLD COLD-FIGHTING CUSTOMS Many queer old customs are still flying hard in parts of the North of England. For instance any child who contracted whooping-cough was carried willy-nilly V) tho nearest tar-boiler and held ruthlessly in tho fumes. Or it might be taken to tho top of a neighbouring hill in the hope that the trouble might bo " blown away " by a friendly gale. Tho New Zealand mother does not havo to go far to find a much better and decidedly more pleasant treatment. Wisely, she keeps a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver in her home. At the first symptom of a cold, mother immediately gives the child a dose of " Baxter's." This rich, red, warming, soothing co«|pound relieves inflammation and congestion, banishes feverishness, and assists normal breathing. 1 Tho excellent tonic properties of "Baxter's" help build up strength and resistance against attacks. "Baxter's," too, has a palatable flavour that all littlo folk enjoy. _ Order " Baxter's " with your groceries or send to-day to the nearest chemist or store. Three sizes, Is 6d, 2s 6d, and the big 4s 6d family bottle.—Advt..
