A recent London paper contains an illustration of a well-battered watch, which had saved a life in the firing line. Innumerable instances have been related in the present campaign where Bibles, pocket-books, tobacco tins and razors carried by soldiers have deflected bullets and saved their lives. The New Zealand invention, “THE SOLDIERS’ HEART AND LUNG PROTECTOR,” offers a measure of protection to the soldier of incalculable value. The device is a leather wallet, containing two steel plates, which have been proved resistent to bullets fired at various ranges and contains pockets for money, letters, photos., and personal correspondence, which a soldier on active service invariably carries. Every soldier •should have one. Every relative should provide their dear ones with this necessary, useful and invaluable safeguard. Military and medical men recommend and endorse THE SOLDIERS’ HEART AND LUNG PROTECTOR. Thousands are already in use. Thousands more may be required. If only one life is saved out of many, remember what it means to the relatives of those concerned. If watches, razors and other articles are responsible for the saving of lives, think of the inestimable value of THE HEART AND LUNG PROTECTOR to every man going to the front or in the firing line. Prices—Single Heart Protectors: 9/6. 10/6, 12/6, 15/-, 17/- each. Double Heart and Lung Protectors, Complete with Neck Strap: 20/-, 22/-, 26/-, 31/-, 36/per pair. Postage Extra: Heart Protectors, 6d. each: Combination Protectors, 9d. pair. Direct from— YOUNG & COLLINS, LTD., PATENTEES, AVENUE, WANGANUI.
