Two Million Dollars

Have been spent to make LiquOzone
known. We have bought the first bot
tie and given it free to every sick one
We learned OF. The result is that one
home in Ave, the country over. has
some one whom Liquozone has cured.
These homes are scattered everywhere.
Your Eeishbors and friends live in some
of them. II you viii only ask what
LiquOZone does there are millions to
tell you about il.
And we paid s1OO, 900 for the simple
right to make Liquozone-the American
rights. The rights in other countries
have sold for proportionate sums. We
mention this fact to indicate the recog-
nized value OF Liquozons. Men have
never before paid such a price for any
discovery used in the cure of sickness.
Before we bought Liuqozone. we had
ii testsd for years, through physicians
and hospitals in this country and
others. We had il employed in every
stage of every germ disease: in thouS-
ands of the most difficult cases obtain
able. For two years, in many dis
ease called incurable, we proved that
Lieuozone did what medicine could not
do That was the reason for its price.

Those who suffer from germ troubles,
and who do not use Liquozone, are
wronging themselves. You will know
how much when you try it. Most of
these troubles are so unnecessary-so
easily cured-it is wrong to let them
continue.
What reason can one find to hesitate?
a trial of Liquozoney costs not penny.
We will gladly buy the first bottle for
any new user, and pay the druggist
ourselves for il. Won't you--if you
need it-iaccept that gift?
Liquozone is not unknown now-not
untried. 1t has cured millions of germ
troubles-troubles that drugs can't
cure. There is no neigh borhood-nO

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases;
all due to germs or TO the poisonS
which germs create. These are the dis
eases to which medicine does not ap-
ply, for drugs cannot kill inside germs
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as a tonic, aiding
nature to overcome the germs But
those results are indirect and uncer-
tain, depending on the patients condi-
ton. A cure is always doubtful Whsn
drugs are used, and some of these dis
eases medicine never cures.
LiquozOne alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles. 1t goes wher-
ever the blood goes, so that no germ
can escape it. The results are almost
inevitable. Diseases which have re-
sisted medicine for years yield at once
to L.iquozone. ''Incurab BILE diseases are
cured by it. In any stage of any dis
ease in this list the results are so GER
tain that we will gladly send TO any
patient who asks it an absolute guar
