Many middle-aged and elderly folk are fearing winter with its attacks of bronchitis. Sufferers should take particular care not to catch cold, but, if troubled, they should go to bed, keep warm, and take Baxter’s Lung Preserver for quick relief. “Baxter’s” soothes and penetrates, clears the tubes, and assists recovery with its tonic action. Get better, get “Baxter’s.” 6
