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 germs-invisible atoms of plant life-which we inhale from the air.
The warmth and moisture of the mouth cavity, with its wrinkled surfaces containing residues of food, form idea! conditions for the growth of these germs, which inflame and irritate the lining of the throat.
A few Formamint Tablets, sucked like sweets, entirely rid the month cavity of germ growths, and thus cure Sore Throat in the shortest possible time.

THE GERM-KILLING THROAT TABLET
Signor Caruso, the world-famous tenor, writes "I have found Wulding's Formamint Tablets very beneficial to the throat, and pleasant to the taste,"
Although Formamint Tablets are pleasantly flavoured and quite harmless, they conuius powerful antiseptic which goes thoroughly over the Linting of the mouth and throat, and is absolutely fatal to germ life. Therefore, they not only cure and prevent Sore Throat, Tonsillitis, and mouth troubles, but offer safe protection against grive infectious diseases like Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Measles, etc.
These claims are thoroughly endorsed by the Medical Pro- fession; there are thousands of testimonials written in the same strain as the tro quoted above: and amongst the most prominent
A Physician writes in the "Prae. titioner," December, 1907-
i have never had Sore Throat myself since I began to use Wulfing's Formamint, al- though I suffered periodically before."
users of Formamint are such celebrated people as Queen Alex- audra's confidential secretary, the Hon. Charlotte Knollys; the ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Rt. Hon. Arthur 3. Balfour, 3.P. Lord Kingsale; Lord Justice Buckley; Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P.; the Archdeacon of Bristol, and the Dowager Counicas of Wicklow, etc.
Harmful and worthless tablets with names very similar to Formamint, are frequently offered for sale. Refuse these firmly, and insist on Wulfing's Formamint, which is sold at all Chemists, la bottles of 350
tablets,
