GERMS AND DUST ....z

GERMAN CHEMISTS DISCOVERY
HAS TWoFoLD MISSION.
Invaluable as a Cleanser, It Disinfects
as It Removes Dirt-Now
49, Widely Used. ....

Since the germ theory has been so
universally accepted, dust has been re-
garded as the greatest dissemination Of
disease and the worst enemy of man
kind.
In the war against tuberculosis, every
scientist acknowledges that dust and
causes i of the dread malady which
counts it's victims by the thousands
every year. It is now generally be-
ieved that this has been an unneces-
sary slaughter. ,r a@e5~
Pasteur, the great French scientist,
declared that all parasitic diseases can
be abolished. To this declaration the
scientists agree and they also believe
that could some chemical be discovered
to destroy these germs in the dust, con-
tinually floating about, with the other
sanitary precautions against disease the
intelligent public is now taking, these
germ diseases might be almost entirely
eliminated within a few years.
A German Chemists Discovery. h..
The honor Of discovering such chem
zeal is due to German chemist who,
after years of experime nting, has at
last found a preparation which has
coveries Of the age.
Perolin is the name given this new
preparation, which promises to play
such an important part In the war
against disease. ..<-.- .~
The use Of the preparation has
passed beyond the experimental stage
strsted it's york in Germany, England
and othap EI1rnnean cOnntrteR
In Germany, especially, Perolin has
compulsory In all the public buildings
and public schools, for sweeping and
cleaning purposes. -
short time ago the mayor Of Paris gave
a banquet to the French mayors gen
orally, at which something like 5000
persons sat down, and during which
the halls were swept quietly without
the slightest dust discomfort to the
diners. s..' rs:.~* ~ t-,.&f.
DR.. Gugelielmueth, president Of the
league against dust, and founder Of the
French league against tuberculosis,
suggested that Perolin be used in all
the public schools and public buildings
Of Paris.
In Germany the use Of the sweeper
has been abolished and Perolin is ia.
niliar to all, Belgium is also adopting
and wherever it has been used it il
considered the greatest preventative OF
dust and sickness known to the SAM
tary world.
49, Widely Used in America.
| Perolin was first introduced into
America at the ST.. Louis fair two years
| OIL lxoH
institutions nave adopted it for genera
purposes, and large stores and factories
in New York, Boston, Chicago and st
Louis, use it daily.
Perolin absorbs, not lays the dust
and it absorbs all the germs with it
The German authorities also claim it il
a health promoter as well, being nat
ural product derived by secret pro
cess from pine needles. It protect
against infectious disease, and as an in
| stance Of its worth in private use, i
disinfects while cleaning, Placed OF
a soiled hardwood floor, and the foo
brushed thoroly, the results will be
bright, new wholesome appearance
which no amount Of sawdust can pro
duce. Worked over dirty carpets an,
rugs it has the same restorative effect
1 The preparation Is also Of especia
1 value to the manufacture and merchan
as it can be used to protect merchan
disc which would otherwise becom
dust soiled.
| Naturally a preparation SO valuabl
4 as Perolin, has many imitators, bu
they are all crude preparations and i
u no way are they to be considered wit
!. the original.
8 The interest the American sanitar
authorities are showing in the wonder
I full preparation indicate that its us
will become general in this country
and its mission Of destroying diseas
become widespread.
