If you could see the Germs

in your throat--you would realise why your throat gets sore, and why you are liable to catch dangerous germ- diseases.

The above micro-photographs are of an experiment made by Dr. Piorkowski, the bacteriologist. Two glass plates, covered with a substance on which germs thrive, were exposed in a railway carriage. One (the lower plate) was treated with saliva from a person who had sucked four Formamint Tablets. All germs on the lower plate were destroyed, while they grew abundantly on the other. Thus, when you suck Formamint, all disease- germs in your mouth and throat are destroyed..
