THE HOLLYFORI) RIVER VALLEY , AN EARLY DISCOVER! In 1884 Mr. S. H. Moret-oii, 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 ft. In the bush just below the pass tliey 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 ho had no doubt as to the value of " Baxter's " to (safeguard him from the constant changes in temperature of those high altitudes. From 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 firet line of defence against colds, coughs, 6ore throats. Sold by chemists and stores everywhere. Is 6d, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.— Advt.
