A MIDNIGHT 'BARK.'

One night recently, just as the members of a South Island chemist’s- household had retired, someone—a visitor— suddenly seized with a violent fit of coughing. It was a dry, ‘ nagging ’ cough at first, that tickled the throat and irritated the chest, but it gradually grew worse, and by midnight had developed into a veritable ' bark.’ The coughing was incessant, everyone was kept awake, and at length the chemist in dismay went downstairs to his shop and got a bottle of cough cure which he took up to the coughing visitor. The visitor took one dose. The coughing ceased immediately. In the morning the visitor asked the chemist ‘ What was that remarkable stuff you gave me for my cough last night? It stopped my cough l : ke magic!’ * That was Baxter’s Lung Preserver, the best Cough Cure I have in the shop,’ replied the chemist. ‘ It’s a sure cure for all throat and lung affections, and is famous because it cures quickly. I always use it myself, and have never known it to fail.’ ‘l/10 the large-sized bottle at chemists and stores,’ smildd the visitor, ‘ I’ve read a lot about Baxter’s—and now I know.’
