A BRITISH EMPIRE TRADE MARK.
THE CASE DV, ITS SUPPORTERA
The following statement has beer issued as representing the views of the promoters of the movement for the establishment of a British Empire Trade Mark:
There has recently been a considerable amount of discussion both in the Press the subject of the and elsewhere on proposed British Empire Trade Mark. For a long time there has been a strong desire among British manufacturers and

well-known Na ailments,"
As that medical writer, Dr. Androw Wilson, has stated in one of his books, are more painful and annoying than those affecting the throat nor are there any in which it is more difficult by means of ordinary remeding to reach the parts affected," for no gargle can get to the back of the throat and destroy the germs producing the disease, although it is there that they lodge and multiply.
VIVID MEDICAL TERTIMONY.
Now, Science bas discovered in Wul- ng's Formamint a substance which, harmloss in itself, is so powerful that when one of these pleasant-tasting throat tables
sucked, it saturates the saliva with the most potent germ-destroyer known to Science. As this saliva is swallowed, it gets into exory nook and cranny of the throat, and destroys all germs with which it comes into contract..
Over seven thousand physicians have written in praise of Wuling's Forma- mint. Its value is attested by a doctor, who writes in. The Practitioner: Hay ing tried all the British Pharmacopoeia tozenges, and inest; of the, proprietary antiseptic lozenges, I have become reduced to one, and one only (for sore throat), namely, Wulang's Formamint."
of the preference which many sections of the public, both at home and abroad, have for goods of British origin. It has alad been felt that some of the past efforts in this direction, anch as the Merchandise Marks Act, have been based on erroneous principles, notifications of foreign origin, for example, "Made in Germany," being marked on certain classes of goods which is now recognized to have very largely advertised the goods of our rivals, and to have injorod rather than helped the British manufacturer. It was therefore felt that an opposite course should be pursued, and that a mark should be the goods on which it was used. adopted advertising the British origin of
But is was also felt that a further step should be taken-namely, to make the mark guarantee that the goods were what they were represented to be. The Trade Mark Act, 1905, gave this opportunity, since it enables an association to register a mark for the purpose of certifying the origin or quality, as the case may be, of the goods bearing it. The course had the further advantage of leaving the use of the mark quite optional so that no trader should be compelled to change his present course of business.
The need for the proposed mark was shown by the extraordinary support the proposal received. It was felt that to control the use of this mark there should A PHYSICIAN'S BOLE REMEDY.

The above statement comprises the substance of the chief objections and the answer to the same. As will be seen the chief opposition is on behalf of large their smaller rivals at their expense. There would stem great, doubt whether this fear is well founded; but even were it so, would this be a sufficient reason for refusing facilities for a step which should be a general advantage to British trade and commercial honesty?
