Many men have their hair cut and find they are in for a cold due to the subsequent chill lowering resistance. The remedy is to keep the head covered, especially when the air is cold. Another good precaution is to take a dose or two of Baxters Lung Preserver.

“Baxters” is unbeatable for coughs, colds, sore throats, and most bronchial ailments. It is difficult to find anybody who has not experienced the benefit of “Baxters,” but when one uses “Baxters” for the first time one is amazed at its palatable flavour and the benefit that can be felt from the very first dose. “Baxters” is so soothing and penetrating. “Baxters” quickly relieves tightness and congestion. The merit of “Baxters” is best proved by its amazing fiopularrity. Don’t take that cold home, take “Baxters.” Prepared by Baxters, Ltd., 602 Colombo st., Ch’ch.—Advt.
