Dissolving slowly in the mouth, it sets free a power’ ful, yet harmless germicide that mixes with the saliva, thus penetrating every nook and crevice of the throat, searching out and destroying the germs of infection. Today, science recognizes in Formamint, a reliable means of prevention,and physiciansurge its regular use for all throat troubles involving infection. ormamint GERM-KILLING THROAT TABLETS Formamint is our Trademark—It identifies our product To acquaint you with Formamint we will send a tri cost of mailing Tube on receipt of 4c in scamps, to defray the Address The Bauer Chemical Co., 118West Eighteenth Street, New York City, N.
