And the result?—That dis tressing malady, "smoker's throat." If you are the un- lucky victim of throat trouble due to pipe, cigarette or cigar smoking, usc Respiroids.
A Respirolds tablet, dissolving slowly in the mouth, quickly cases the soreness as the saliva, impregnated with curative elements, flows gently down the throat, while the antiseptic vapours released soothe the inflamed membranes and quickly 'set matters right.
Besides, Respiroids are of the utmost value in cases of cough, sore throat, colds and bronchial ailments generally. It is for the quick alleviation and curative treatment of these troubles that they have been specially designed.
