SORE THROAT:

Its Cause and Cure.

If your throat is sore, swollen, inflamed-if it hurts you to speak or swallow-you should at once take some Forinumint Tablets.

They case the pain at once-cure the Sore Throat quickly-prevent further attacks-and safeguard you against infectious discancs duc to germs.

Germs are breathed out by the sick, and we inhale them from the air. They are seeds-living atoms of plant life-so amall that we can only sce them through a microscope, and then they look like mere specks, as shown in the above illustration.

These germs grow and multiply at a great speed in the warm moist lining of the mouth cavity. They ulso throw off poisons which cause various throat troubles and infec tious diseases.

The most thorough and certain way to hill these germs in the mouth, and throat is to suck Formanint Tablets, which are both a cure for throat troubles and a preventive of infectious diseases like Diphtheria, Consumption of the Lungs, Scarlet Fever, Measles and Tonaillitia.

Praised by Physicians and the Public.

Formamint is a genuine remedy. Over 7,000 physicians have publicly certifled to its value. Hundreds of eminent people are also Formamink users, including the Rt. Hon. Al J. Balfour, M. P., Lord Justice Buckley. and Queen Alexandra's confidential. Secretary, the Hon. Charioite Knollys

The Archdeacon of Bristol writes: "I habitually use Formumint us d preventive of Sore Throat."Viscount Ferrard writes: Sore Throut quickly disappears after using For mamint Tablets."
