For the American rights to Liquo-
zone, and the rights in other countries
have sold for proportionate sums. We
mention this fact to indicate the value
OF Liquozone-the value to you. Men
have never before paid such a price for
any discovery used in the cure of sick
ness.
We need not tell you that we
proved Liquozone well before buying it.
For years it was tested through ply
sicians and hospitals. in this country
and others 1t was employed in every
stage of every germ disease; in all the
most difficult cases obtainable. With
thousands of sick ones, considered in
durable, we proved that it did what
medicine could not do. Then, and then
only, did we pay the price
Since then we have spent nearly
S2OO0.o00 to make Liquozone known.
We have bought the first bottle and
given it free to every sick one we learn
ed of. These people told others, and
the others told others. The result is that
Llquozone is now more widely employ
ed than any medicine ever was. And
no one can doubt that is doing more
for sick humanity than all the drugs in
use combined.

There are at least three million
homes in America which know from
experience the value of Liquozone.
Some of those homes use it simply to
keep well, as we do. But tens of
thousands have lives that were saved
but it.
Yet some remain sick with a germ
disease while all of those millions
know that Liouozone cures. Some
still cling to drugs for what drugs
never can do. They are wronging
themselves. Their own friends-their
own neigh bors-can tell them the way
to get well.
We ask those sick ones to write US.
we viii buy for each one the first bot
tie of Liquozone, and pay the druggist
ourselves for it. Each is welcome to
try it at our expense. then let the re-
suits decide about using it afterwards.
Don't try to kill inside germs with
drugs, for you cannot. Don't cling
blindly to old methods of treatment
used before germs were discovered.
Let US prove what this new way
means to you.

Kills Inside Germs.

The greatest value of Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
And no man knows another way to do
IL Any drug that kills germs is a
poi and it cannot be taken inter
nally. For that reason, medicine is
almost helpless in any germ disease.
Liquozone is a germicide so certain
that we publish on every bottle an Of
fer of 81, 600 for a disease germ that If
cannot kill Yet it is not only harmless
but Of wonderful benefit-better than
anything else in the world for you. No
one is so well that he cannot be helped
