Throat Troubles Weaken
System.

A serious illness is often
brought on by a neglected sore
throat.
All throat troubles invariably
weaken the system and should
not be allowed to go unchecked.
A gargle made with twelve
drops of sloan's Liniment IN
half a glass of water will break
up a sore throat.
Sloan's Liniment is an ex-
cellent remedy for tOnsilitis, as
thma, Group and bronchitis. Ap.
piled freely to the outside Oh
the throat and chest, it draws
out the inflammation, reduces
the swelling and relieves any
soreness. Twelve drops Of this
Liniment in half. a glass OF wat
er makes a splendid antiseptlc
gargle.
Mr.. Albert W. Price of Fredo-
MIA, Kans., writes :-"We have
used Sloan's Liniment in the
family for about a year, ana
