CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in glass
of water, used as gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat.
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat
Paxtine Is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.
