When Medicine Fails, Try Liquo -one-Weu Pay t.

Medicine must fail an a germ trouble,
because medicine never kills germs. Any
germ-killing drug is a poison to you, and
it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone-liquid oxygen--is the only
way that any man knows to kill germs in
the body without killing the tissues, too.
It's results in a germ trouble are ALSO
lutely certain, for it always destroys the
cause Of the trouble To prove this-if
