When this is done, there is every chance that any infectious disease-such as scar let fever, diphtheria, measles, etc., all of which begin with sore throat, will be effectually prevented. If however, the sore throat is neglected, the disease will have time to establish itself in the system, and be much more diffenli. to

THE CAUSE OF BORE THROAT.
Both ordinary sore throat, and the grave diseases of which it is a symptom are due to gerne. These germs aro minute atoms of plant life, which float in the air. As we inhale them, they Lodge at the back of the throat, where they multiply with great rapidity.

THE FASCINATION OF TRAVEL.
RINTS FOR "SEAGOING OUTFITS.
It is a commonplace to speak of the enormous increase in the facilities of travel in the last few decades; but per- haps we do not often realise how much the conditions have changed for our cont fort in a multitude of minor details. The present writer, says a writer in the Times, has a record of the equipment, or part of it, with which his father considered it necessary to supply himself when sail- ing for India in the year 1340; and among the items in the luggage were twelve dozen shirts. It is true that he sailed immediately after his marriage, with his bride (which, perhaps, had something to do with the items of one dozen bottles of lavender water and one dozen bottles of toilet vinegar), and doubtles also the seerningly inordinate superfluity of shirts was intended as provision for future residence in the North-Weet Pro-

If, round the Cape normally meant ap- however, they are allowed to go on multiproximately 100 days at sen. Adverse plying undisturbed, they produce certain toxins, or poisons. These get into the blood stream, and thus cause the discnse. It is obvious, therefore, that the proper treatment of sore throat is to destroy the germs in the throat. There is only one effectual means of doing this. This is by the use of Wulfing's Formamint Tablets which kill the gerins where they are, thus curing the sore throat and also preventing the infectious disease of which it may be a warning symptom,
