smoke which was not in existence.
Then the lighted cigars were introduced,
and the men pulled as before, all acting
honestly, save one, who took the smoke

helpful to bodily tissues Il is a germi-
eide so certain that we publish with every
bottle an offer of 81 900 for the discovery
of disease germ which Liquozone cannot
kill.
Common germicides are poisons which
cannot be taken internally. They destroy
the tissues as well as the germs. That
is why medicine has proved so helpless in
dealing with germ diseases.
Liquozone is not only harmless, but
il is a tonic. Its effects are exhilarating,
vitalizing, purifying. Its benefits are
quickly approximation from the very
first dose.
The fact that Liquozone is so destruc-

that germs are of vegetable origin. They

What LiquoZone Is.

The virtues of Liquozone are derived
solely from gases, created from five sub
stances, all Of which are stated on the
bottle. These substances include the
best producers Of oxygen, sulphur dioxide
and other germicidal gases.
The process of making requires large
apparatus and from 8 to IA days time;
and it is directed by chemists of the
highest class. The object is to so fix and
combine the gases as TO carry their virtues
into the system. The result is a blending
of gas-made products, each of which is
now endorsed, as a remedial agent, by the
worlds highest authorities.
The gases are harmless, and the product
they create is harmless. The gases are
beneficial, and the result is tonic. The
gases are germicidal, and uniting with
the liquid multiplies their germ-killing
power.
Liquozone contains no alcohol, no
opiates, no narcotics. Every virtue
comes from gas alone. The invention
OF Liquozone has meant a way to utilize
gases in the treatment Of germ diseases.
Kills Disease Germs.
The main value Of Liquozone lies in
the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet
