PIN YOUR FAITH TO “BAXTER'S”. Baxter’ Lung Preserver is a perfect remedy for children as well as grownups. Another advantage is its palatability. Children who can never take “medicine” will actually' ask for Baxter’s.” Grossness, dullness and lack of appetite in children frequently mean a touch of ’flu or a cold. Don’t hesitate, give “Baxter’s” at once, as prescribed on the label. Wise mothers will purchase the big 4/6 size-. Also in 1/6, and 2/6 bottles, at all chemists and stores.
