“NAZOL" may be imitated, but it is still unequalled for relieving coughs, colds, catarrh and sore throat. Only the genuine is labelled “NAZOL." Refuse substitutes.

An incident that took place at Port Melbourne on Friday (states the Melbourne “Argus") was hailed as a good augury for the future by many of those who were saying good-bye to departing soldiers. A girl fell into the water just before the last transport left with troops for France, but she was fortunately rescued in circumstances that were hailed as romantic. The relatives and friendsof the soldiers on board the ship wore kept back from the pier until itho gangways on the transport had been hoisted inboard. Then the barricades were taken down. As the excited men and women ran towards the ship a girl was pushed over the side of the pier into the water. Scarcely had she touched the water when a chaplain on board the transport dived from the second deck to save her. The girl's sweetheart was one of the departing soldiers, and he dived ■from the first deck, reaching her almost as soon as the gallant chaplain did. The two were thus in singular circumstance united when they thought they had parted for a long time. The presence of the chaplain made the incident the more noteworthy. A moment later another soidier dived into the water, and with the help of the three gallant men and those on the pier, the girl was brought safely ashore. She scorned little the worse for her adventure, and was comforted by many who saw in the incident a promise of a reunion of the sweethearts when the war is over. Someone suggested that nothing could be better than that the two should be married by the chaplain, with the second soldier acting as best man. Don't wait until Influenza grips you —get “NAZOL" now. The best safeguard against coughs, colds, chest and throat soreness. 60 doses Is 6d.
