“What muddle superfluous preparation makes.” —Stanus. Certainly be prepared, for wise preparation means also the battle half won; but superfluous preparation is ill-advised. Always bo prepared during winter time, which to the unprepared is chronic cough and cold time. Baxter’s Lung Preserver is ample preparation, for this sterling remedy is a sure, safe and prompt remedy. It nips the trouble in the bud and fortifies against the return visit. The home that knows “Baxter’s” is cough and cold proof. . Got largo bottle of this 54-year-old specific to-day. 2s 6d at chemist and store.
