Medical. An old established and POPULAR MEDICINE. Baxter’* Lung Preserver has been es tablished over a quarter of a century, and patronised by all ranks of society, and enjoys a success unparalleled. Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, I Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, KFFOTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER’S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS: From Rev. Charles Penny— Roefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884 I am happy to aay'your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom 1 have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, bat these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order.



From 0, F.’ Salxkb, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884, 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints.

I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm ot coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind.



From Isa to Aliev Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883.



After seven years' experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to bo a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.



From W. B. Scoit, Esq, , Builder, etc,, Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1883, Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,’' for tightness in the chest I did so, and from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.
