A SENSATIONAL FIND IN AN OLD DIGGER’S CAMP BY N.Z. TOURISTS.

The following sensational and remarkable story has come to light regarding the pioneer hardships of our early history : Two well-known New Zealanders, Mr. Moreton and Mr. Hall, solicitor, of Invercargill, whilst on a holiday trip exploring the majestic beauties of our farfamed cold lakes and mountainous bush scenery at the head of Lake Wakatipu, successfully negotiated the 4300 feet of height of the famous Lake Harris Saddle. It was in the vicinity of this saddle that they came across the remains of an old digger’s camp, and, being similarly constituted to other mortals, they naturally fossicked for curios. These gentlemen fossicked in this old camp, and, remarkable as it may seem, they relate that they discovered an empty bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver, This was .in the year 1884-5. This old digger most probably staked his life in this lonely spot to the merits of this famous cure for coughs and colds and other serious chest complaints. Baxter’s Lung Preserver was not only famous in 1884 for curing coughs and colds quickly, but to-day is still recognised as the remedy that gives a marked and rapid cure. Baxter’s Lung Preserver is now sold by all chemists and stores at 1/10 large-size bottle, or post free from J. Baxter and Co., Christchurch.
