ADVICE TO SUN BATHERS. Don’t overlook the risk of contract! ing a chill after sun-bathing. Sunburn sometimes gives a false feeling of warmth while cold is penetrating and chilling the system, one of the causes of summer coids which are so prevalent.

Wherever you go this summer take care—take Baxter’s Lung Preserver at the first sign of a cold.

“Baxter’s” gets results. Is 6d, 2s 6d, and 4s 6d at all 1 chemists and stores.
