Office of W. M. LINE, M. D. 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.

My clinical experience with Gilson's Sore Throat Cure has proved to n. s its value and 1 can heartily recommend it to all as a safe and reliable preparation for tbe disease it Is recommended. W. M.
