“WHEN THE DEVIL WAS ILL"
A Christchurch lawyer and member of the Canterbury Repertory Society made the following remark to a friend going to see ‘ When the Devil was 111, the society’s recent production; “In the part where the chap who plays the author is given something to relieve a violent fit of coughing it looked to mo like ‘ Baxter’s.’ The same size bottle; the label looked the same, screw cap the same. I’ll bet it is ‘ Baxter’s.’ See if you can pick it.” Whether it was an imitation of “ Baxter’s ” for an imitation cough is not known. There’s one thing certain, however, For a real cough there’s nothing to come up to the real “ Baxter’s.” Wherever there are sore throats to be soothed, coughs, colds, and chills to be alleviated, “ Baxter’s” plays the leading role. All chemists and stores sell “ Baxter’s ” in three popular sizes: 1/G, 2/6, and the big economical family size, 4/6.—[Advt.]
