NATURES GREAT CLEANSER
Disinfectant Always Existing Dis
covered Only Some Sixty
Years Ago.

All down through the ages, when
nothing was known of the microbe
cause of putrefaction, and when street
cleaners-even house cleaners-were
almost unheard Of. and streets and
houses and men were as dirty as they
are now in parts Of Russia or China,
sickness and death, although frequent,
were not so frequent as they would
have been without natures watchful
care over her ignorant children.
Although man knew nothing about
II, there was a powerful disinfectant
being constantly manufactured in the
worlds laboratory out of air and wat
er, and this substance burned up the
refuse which man did not know
enough TO destroy.
This purifier, which the chemists
discovered only about 60 years ago, is
ozone. 1t Is made up Of oxygen atoms
in a modified combination, and is
sometimes called active oxygen, be.
cause of its strong oxidizing power.
1t is produced during thunderstorms
by the action of the electrical dis,
charges, and 10 also formed during the
rapid evaporation of water. Sea air,
therefore, contains il in small amount,
and also air in the neighborhoed of
salt works, where large amount of
water is constantly being evaporated,
in order to get the salt.
1t is produced aI1ificially by pass.
ing an electric spark through oxygen,
or, better, by the action of a high.
tension current of electricity without
sparkling. It is also made in decom.
posing water by electricity. A mix.

Ozone has a peculiar odor (whence

ticed who has been near where a light
sometimes during a thunderstorm. It
is disinfectant by reason of it's active
power of oXidizing many substances
especially when they are moist, and
so destroying their offensive and pois
onOus character. 1t is especially eff
ficacious in destroying the noxious
carnations from putrefying sub
stances, and thus acting as a deodor
izer.
When breathing, even in small guam
titles ozone is irritating TO the mucous
membranes. and it is believed by some
physicians that many Of the respira
tory troubles and the influenza that
prevail in damp winter weather are
owing TO a weakening of the resistant
powers Of the mucous membranes
through the respired oxygen.

First, soak the corn or bunion 10 warm
