How to SORE Avoid THROAT
This is one of the worst months in the year as regards, the risk of catching Sore Throat.
This painful malady is caused by gerais-invisible aoms of plant life-which we inhale from the air.
The warmth and moisture of the month cavity, with its wrinkled surfaces containing residues of food, form ideal enditions for the growth of these germs, which infanic and irritate the lining of the throat..
A few Formamint Tablets, sucked like sweets, entirely
d the mouth cavity of germ growths, and thus cure Sore Throat in the shortest possible time.
Formamint
THE GERM-KILLING THROAT" TABLET
Signor Caruso, the world-famous. tenor, writes:-"I have lot Wulfing's Ferinamint Tablets very beneficiul to the throat, and pleasant to the taste,"
Although Formamint Tablets e pleasant flavoured and quite Jarmless, they contain a powerful ntiseptic which goes thoroughly wer the timing of the month and sroat, and is absolutely fatal to ern life. Therefore dey not aly-cure and prevent Sore Themt. osts, al mouth troubles, ut offer safe protection against grave infectious diseases like Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever.. Measles, etc.
These claims are thoroughly Endorsed by the Medical Pro- fession; there are thousands of testimonials wrillen in the same strain as the wu quoted above; and amongst the most prominent
A Physician writes in the "Prac titioner," December, 1307- "I have severhad Scre Throat myself since I began to use Walling's Formamint, al though I suffered periodically before."
users of Formamint are such celebrated people as Queen Alex anvira's confidential secretary, the Mon. Charlotte Knoilys; the ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Rt. Hon. Arthur J. Balious. MR. Lord Kinsale :. Ford-Justice-Buckley : Sir-Gilders Parker, M.P.; the Archleyeon of Bristol, and the Dowager Countex of Wicklow, etc.
Harmful and worthless tablets with names very similar to Formamini, are frequently offered for sale. Refine these firmly, and insist on Wuling's Formiamint, which is sold at all Chemists, in bottles of "50" Lablets.
