ABOUT
SMOKING AND SMOKERS.
Many smokers have throat trouble. They are constantly hacking' and coughing. Not infrequently the con- gestion is so great as to interfere with speech until they have cleared the throat, proceeding even more unpleasant for their hearers than for themselves.
To all victims of 'smoker's throat' Respiroids are just the thing needed. Slowly dissolving in the mouth, these delightfully aromatic tablets release highly-curative essences which lubri cate the throat, clear the phlegm, quickly soothe and heal the Inflamed part. Kupt in the waistcoat pocket they are always, at hand to allay coughing, and other unpleasant symp- toms.
As a remedy for coughs of all kinds, bronchitis, sore throat, and to relieve colds there is nothing better than Respirolds. Of chemists, or post free, 75 cents per bottle, from the China branch of the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., 451 Kings Road, Shanghai.
