NERACAR
“SAFETY
FIRST.
For safety, Reliability, Strength, Cleanliness and Economy the NERACAR" stands unrivalled.
The NERACAR" was not built for oxcessive speed. On plain level roads, it will give a spoed of 35 miles, whilst on hills-snch as the Chin, Wan Hill--it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on ovel roads or 20 miles up hills, the " NERACAR" has a reserve speed which is quite ample,
The "NERACAR was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced, light" two-wheeled motor car that will carry thom about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles!

Why Baby cries
Baby cries to let you know that all is not well with him the poor little fellow has no other way of telling you, Health and happiness go hand in hand in babyhood, and Baby's cries usually mean that his food does not agree with him.
No food suits every baby, but the food that suits most babies is Glaxo. The pure, rich milk of grass-fed dairy cows, it is so digessible that Baby assimilates it as easily as mother's milk Prepared simply by adding hot, boiled water, Glaxo provides all the nourishment that Baby needs--it forms a complete lood, from birth.
