THE WISDOM OF A CHILD

* a curious little incident occurred recently in Christchurch. A gentleman r from' Wellington happened to be stay- ' ing with some friends in Fendalton. and as he had contracted a slight e chill, he was persuaded by his hostess to go to bed for a few days. On the ’ morning of the second day. a little child in the house, aged two years, e went to her mother with the remark, ” “Tom cold, mummie, Tom cold.” lady was rather disturbed to think f that perhaps her visitor had not enough blankets on his bed, but he ! assured her that he was quite all right, i i Still the child persisted in making the i | remark. “Tom cold, mummie, Tom d ' cold,” finally persuading her mother to y- I accompany her to the pantry when the p i little one pointed to a bottle of BaxT | ter’s Lung Preserver, again saying. * “Tom cold, mummie, Tom cold.” What l * I the youngster wished to point out wa--11 that the visitor would be relieved with a dose of “Baxter’s,” no doubt having l, in mind the fact that she herself had 1 been assisted on some previous occa - t sion. a For over 60 years Baxter’s Lung Pro- □ server has been the favourite cough r and cold remedy in New Zealand. " When those of such tender years know the sterling worth cf this fine old rem- >- edy, it is little wonder that it has J steadily grown in public favour. BeI | sides being a splendid cough mixture, o | “Baxter’s” possesses unique tonic prod perties which help to build on~ up. s • It is a rich. red. warming, soothing T compound that does you good from the > first dose. Eases sore throats and rey ! lieves bronchial troubles in a wonder- ; ful manner. You can get a generousj sized bottle of “Baxter’s” from any n i chemist or store for 2s 6d, or better , 1 still, the more economical family size ; at 4s Cd. For those in lodgings thero i is the bachelor size at eightecnpenoc. y' *
