“ A faithful friend is the medicine of life.”—Poverb. Wouldn’t you gladly change from experimenting with untried cough and cold remedies if you knew of. one that was prompt and certain ? Baxter's Lung Preserver is a friend, indeed, when you are troubled with cough, cold, or sore throat. Besides, “Baxter’s” is more than merely a .cold cure. It possesses invaluable tonic properties which rebuild and invigorate run-down systems and jaded constitutions. Act at once! Get a generous-sized 2s 6d bottle from your chemist or grocer to-day; or, better still, get the family size at 4s Gd. —Advt.
