A falling barometer. CHANGE EXPECTED. Warm and pleasant weather conditions disarm, one. But people are advised to prepare for sudden changes. The best way is to have Baxter’s Lung Preserver handy. Obtain from the nearest chemist or store. By linking a dose occasionally you protect yourself against annoying summer colds, which are often more obstinate to cure than winter ones. Baxter’s has an unbeatable record as a health and strength giver for young antT old. Large bottle Is 10d. Worth Is a drop.
