Germantown, Neb., Feb. 8, 1904 I have had most excellent results with Gilson's Sore Throat Cure In dis eases of the '.hroat and mucous lin ings. I find its application in tonsi litis and cases where a false mem brane exists in th throat, as in diphtheria, to have an immediate ef fect, loosening and removing the mem brane, and thereby at once relieving this distressing sensation of smother ing noted in these cases. My clinical experience with Gilson's Sore Throat Cure has proved to ms its value and 1 can heartily recommend it to all as a safe and reliable preparation for the disease it is recommended. W. M.
