“WHEN FATHER GETS A COLD HE THINKS HE IS GOING TO DIE ”

This amusing anecdote is no fish story. It actually happened.- A man had been deep sea fishing off Whangaroa, and on coming ashore called at an accommodation, house and sought the proprietor. One of the daughters of the household said, “ Yo- find Dad in the living room.” _ The visitor entered that room, which was vacant, but noticed a bottle of Baxter’s Lung Preserver on the mantlepiece. He passed through, to the bedroom, but again no proprietor, but another hot'le of “ Baxter’s ” was in evidence. Returning to the daughter he said, “I can’t find your father anywhere, but I found two bottles of “ Baxter’s.” She replied, " When Father gets a cold he thinks he is going to die, so he keeps a bottle of “ Baxter’s ” in pretty well every room.” Poor father. However, whether father gets much sympathy when suffering from a cold is not so important as to whether he gets some “Baxter’s.” One dose of “ Baxter’s ” does more good than a ton of sympathy. “ Baxter’s ” is the finest cough remedy as proved _by its marvellous popularity maintained for many generations. “ Baxter’s ” has many unique qualities, including ability to shift a firmlyrooted chest cold and for preventing a cold developing,on .the chest. It is, of course, remarkable for its tonic value. Easily the best seller at all chemists and stores, _in Is fid, 2s fid, and extra large 4/6 sizes. Always take care, always take “ Baxter’s.”— [Advt.]
