What Liquozone Is

Liquozone is not a medicine. 1t is not
made by compromising drugs. not made
with alcohol The virtues of Liquozone
are derived solely from gas-largely oxygen
gas-by a process requiring immense appa-
ratus and fourteen days time. To make
one cubic inch of Liquozone use 1850
cubic inches of gas. The process has, for
more than twenty years been the constant
subject of scientific and chemical research.
The result is product which does what
oxygen does Oxygen is the natural nerve
food the blood food, the scavenger of the
blood. 1t is the very source of vitality, the
most essential element of life. But oxygen
is gas. so unstable that an excess cannot
be held in the blood. Liquozone is con-
centrated and stable. 1t carries it's virtues
into the blood to go wherever the blood
goes. 1t brings to every nerve center, and
to every tissue, a vitalizing tonic. with
which no other known product can COM
pare.

Germ Diseases

The diseases in this list are known to be
due to germs or their toxins. Every modern
physician knows that TO cure these dis
eases the germs must be destroyed and
medicine cannot do that. Medicine some
times acts as a tonic. aiding nature to
overcome the germs. But those results are
indirect and uncertain and they depend on
the patients condition.
Liquozone directly attacks the cause of
these troubles and there is no other way.
For that reason. diseases which have re-
sisted medicine for years yield at once
to this treatment, and ii cures diseases
which medicine never cures The results
