A man hasn't very good religion
when he regards Sunday as the longest
and dreariest day in the week.
Laid up yesterday?
What was the trouble?
“Nothing,” you say;
“just a little sore throat.”
And yet you are doing
nothing for it. Well, that
is risky. Don’t you real
ize that the simple sore
throat sometimes devel
ops into the most serious
of troubles if you let it
go unchecked?
You ought to use
Nyal’s Sore Throat Rem
edy. It will cure the
soreness of the throat
and lessen the risk you
run.
Nyal’s Sore Throat
Remedy is an antiseptic
form of treatment that
destroys the germs that
cause the trouble.
You gargle your throat
with it occasionally until
you note improvement,
and then increase the in
tervals until the throat
is well.
