Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases;
all due to germs or to the poisons which
germs create These are the diseases to

All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as tonic, aiding
Nature to overcome the germs. But
those results are indirect and uncertain.

A cure is always doubtful when drugs
are used, and some of these diseases
medicine never cures
Liquozone alone can DESTROY the
cause of these troubles. 1t goes wher-
ever the blood goes. so that no germ

What Liquozone Is.

Liquozone is a product which, in the
past two years has sprung into world
wide use in the treatment of germ dis
eases. It is now used by the sick of
nine nations by physicians and hospi-
tails everywhere. 1t is daily used in
millions of homes in America
The virtues of LiquOzone are derived
solely from gas, made in large part
from the best oxygen producers. No
drugs, no alcohol-nOthing but this gas
enters into it. The process Of making
takes Il days. and requires immense
apparatus. At the end of two weeks
we get one cubic inch Of Liquozone for
each 1850 cubic inches of gas used
The attainment of this product has, for
more than 20 years. been the constant
subject of scientific and chemical re-
search.
The main result is. to get into a IL
quid, and thus into the blood, a power
ful, yet harmless germicide. And the
product is so helpful-so good for you
