CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY. A COINCIDENCE. A leading Wellington business man was in Dunedin recently, and he had made arrangements to call on an old business friend at 5 o'clock. When he dropped in to see his acquaintance several other visitors were there, and he asked the meaning for the party. “Oh,” said one man, “it is our friend’s birthday to-day, and we are just here to wish him the best of health and prosperity.” It then transpired that curiously enough it was also the birthday of another member of the group, and both, men were exactly the. same age. What, however, impressed the visitor “was the fact that on the merchant’s desk was a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver, and, pointing to it, he queried, “Is this a birthday present?” “No,” replied the merchant with a laugh. “As a matter of fact, I have had a sore throat for the last day or two and I sent the storeman out for a bottle ’of good old ‘Baxter’s.’ There is nothing like it.” Thousands of New Zealanders will endorse the merchant’s statement that there is ndthing like Baxter’s .Lung Preserver for soothing sore throats, checking incipient coughs and colds, and bracing up the system to ward off future attacks. This fine old remedy has been for many years the favourite remedy for ailments of this nature in this country. You can obtain a generous-sized bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver at any chemist or store for 2/6, or, better still, buy the economical family size 4/6. Bachelors will find the eighteennenny bottle most useful. — (Advt.)
