CELEBRITIES AND SORE THROAT
How they Cure and Prevent it
Every reader of this paper who suffers from sore throat can easily remedy it in the same manner as has been done by the well-known Right Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, M.P., Lord Justico Buckley, and the Rev. C. Silvester Horne, M.P., as well as by celebrated singers like Madame Adelina Patti and Signor Caruso, and leading actors like Sir George Alexander and Mr. H. B. Irving.
Who could ask for more convincing and trustworthy witnesses? They are, moreover, parti- cularly prone to catch the complaint, because they are often in hot, crowded places, where the germs which cause sore throat abound.
Wulfing's Formamint-the remedy which they and hundreds of their colleagues all rely upon- kills these germs in the mouth and throat. That is why it is prescribed by over 7,000 medical men for curing and preventing sore throat.
WULFING'S
FORMAMINT
The Germ-Killing Throat Tablet
The Rev. C. Silvester Horne, M.P., writes: "I have found Formamint most useful and efficacious."
Signor Caruso, the world's greatest tenor, wrote: "I have found Formamint very beneficial to the throat, and pleasant to the taste."
Sir George Alexander writes: "Formamint has been my constant companion during the past winter, and I have found it a dangerous enamy to the Influenza fiend."
Genuine Formamint is sold by all Chemists.
