"YOU’LL DO ME!”
“I was travelling from Wellington to Dunedin recently,” a well-known commercial man relates, “and crossing in the ferry always upsets my stomach. Shortly after the train left Christchurch I couldn’t sit still for the pain, and I was resigning myself to a beastly journey. “Just about this time a fellow-traveller reached for his bag, and commenced to prepare a dose of Anti-Acido. I would have given a fiver for his tin. I felt so bad. Whether he read my thoughts or not, I can’t say, but, much to my surprise, he offered me some, and, though he was a stranger, I couldn’t help saying: ‘You’ll do me. It’s what I want more than anything else in the world just now.’ “And what glorious relief! In a few minutes I brought up a fearful lot of wind, and in a quarter of an hour or so I felt so comfortable I could have gone to sleep. Y'ou won’t catch me travelling without my anti-Acido again. Once is enough.”— (Advt.)
