NEW ZEALAND'S DEFENCE

SYSTEM.

History has shown that an epidemic exacts greater toll than armed hostilities. There are millions of germs, would-be invaders of the human system, that must bo kept in check. New Zealand's first line of defence against colds and 'flu and all throat and chest afflictions is Baxter's Lung Preserver, which has proved its worth as a precaution and a remedy for over sixty years. At the first sign of a cold, take "Baxter's," Is 6d, 2s Cd, and 4s 6d at all chemists and stores. —Advt.
