Nature signals when a cold is coming. You sneeze—and that's a sure forewarning. When you receive this sign—to keeji free from tho cold which may become chronic—you should take Baxter's Lung Preserver. You've no idea how it pro-' teefcs oven the weakest constitution against winter's common complaints, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, chest, and bronchial affections. Then, again, it is a splendid tonic. It invigorates tho faded constitution and keeps tho system vitalised. Just as good for kiddies as for grown-ups. Baxter's is not an untried remedy. For 58 years jt has lieun pirinp; aid in thousands of Now Zealand homes. Why experiment with untested remedies? It is Mh dangerous and expensive. Get tho genuine—insist on 'Baxter's, 2s. for large balllo, • ,it all chemists and stores.—Advt.
