"BAXTER’S” SAVES DISAPPOINTMENT. COMES TO SINGER’S ASSISTANCE. A young Auckland lady had been engaged to sing at a concert recently. The day before the event she had. the misfortune to contract a cold and very sore throat. When she attempted to practise her songs she found that her voice had practically gone. In desperation she rang up the organizer of the performance and stated that she was afraid he would have to find someone else to sing in her stead. “Oh, nonsense,” he replied. “You just get a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver and take it regularly every few hours. Then ring me up this evening and let me know how you are.” This the girl did, and was thankful to be able to ring up at night and say that her throat was so much better that she felt sure she would be able to sing all right on the following .evening. “Baxter’s” has been known in New Zealand for over sixty years as an effective specific for coughs, colds, sore throats, asthma, bronchitis, and all throat and lung complaints. Keep a bottle always in the house. “Baxter’s” also possesses unique tonic properties. Generous-sized bottle 2/6; economical family size 4/6; bachelor’s bottle 1/6. The new screw cap preserves the contents.—Advt.
