Too Nice To Be A Medicine

Too Nice To Be A Medicine.

Peggv (aged seven): There, I thought so, Dolly has an awful cold.

Nancy: What are you going to give her, some medicine?

Peggy: Oh, no, I'll give her “Baxter's.” That's not a medicine.

Nancy I know it's not; it's too nice.

That is typical of the way kiddies regard Baxter's Lung Preserver, as a pleasant, soothing remedy that quickly fixes their coughs, colds, and sore throats. They like its pleasant flavour.

Always give “Baxter's” to your children. Get a bottle with your next groceries. 1/6, 2/6, and 4/6. *

Foot Comfort.

During the hot weather it is a good plan to rub the feet with talcum or boracic acid powder and also to shake a little into the stockings. This will keep the feet comfortable and cool.

Daily massage with methylated spirits or Eau-de-Cologne is very comforting. This treatment stimulates the circulation and tones up the skin, if your feet are inclined to be inflamed or painful during the hot weather. Q-tol is also found beneficial for this purpose.

To the person who is predisposed to chilblains during the winter, daily massage is essential.
