Liquozone goes into the stomach,
into the bowels and into the blood,
to go wherever the blood goes. No
germ can escape 1t and none can re-

a germ disease must end when the
germs are killed. Then Liquozone,
acting as a wonderful tonic, quickly
restores a condition of perfect health.
Diseases which have resisted medi-

meet-wherever you are-can tell you
of cures that were made by 1t.
