SCHOOLBOY'S PARDONABLE MISTAKE The following schoolboy "howler" was published in a Christehurch paper:— In a class at a North Canterbury school the pupils had been asked to name three great inventors and their inventions. One litle boy's answer was outstanding. His verdict was: "Stephenson's Steam- Engine, Wright Brothers' Aeroplanes, and Baxters Lung Preserver.'' The teacher queried the inclusion of "Baxters," but the little boy was quite sure of himself. Ho explained that he had often heard his father say that "Baxters" was "the best ever invented." It was nearly 80 years ago that Baxters Lung Preserver was first made in New Zealand, since when it has won the confidence of one and all. Children and grown-ups show wonderful faith in this wonderful remedy, which certainly gives quickest amj most complete relief for any cold, hoarseness, sore throat, and chest "Baxters" tonic action is also appreciated. "Baxters' is the. best seller" at all chemists-and stores w New Zealand. Is 6d, 2s 6d and 4s 6d
