Don’t have sore throat again this winter As you know, many illnesses start with sore throat. The mouth is the open door to disease germs. So, particularly at this time of year and, in fact,. all winter, it is wise to use Listerine systematically. For half a century this unusual preparation has been recognized and recommended by physicians as the safe household antiseptic. It will help you and your family ward off many throat troubles that so often anticipate more serious ills. Simply use it as a mouth wash and gargle; it is pleasant and it will put you on the safe side. Also, it combats halitosis Listerine has, moreover, the ability to overcome halitosis (the medical term for unpleasant breath). When you use Listerine systematically, you know your breath is right.—Lambert Pharmacal Company, Saint Louis, OU.
