but were vanquished in a manner
which showed benetol to be four
times as strong as carbolic acid. I
think I was made the n ost happy,
after test against the deadly BIZ
chloride of mercury, for I had a
chemical fifty times as strong in
disable strength, that is to say, bene-
tol full strength, could be used, and
benetol full strength is fifty times
as strong as the solution that can
be safely handled of the mercuric
chloride.
But this was only a fraction of
the success achieved, I had secured
chemical working in a new way
against bacteria. I waited with
anxiety, for the reports of others,
regarding its texiety, or poisonous
effect upon vertebrates. When that
report came, knew my labors were
at end on the chemical itself, because
as one examiner put 1t. your beue-
tol, has about the same degree of
poisonous effect upon the human
system as common table SALT
That meant, not only that the world
no longer need be burdened with
germicides and disinfectants that
were deadly poisson, but far greater
truth, that germs could be followed
in the human system, and fought
there where they had been safely
hidden since the world began.
1T may be difficult for the or.
binary person to know what that
means. America is a typhoid cursed
country. Used diligently, there
need be very little typhoid where
benetol is known. Ten drops of it
allowed to remain a short time in a
gallon of infected water, will make
the water not only safe to drink, but
will make it beneficial as medjcated
water. One drop in a glass will
quickly kill all typhoid life therein.
True, the one drop can be. tasted
Slightly in the water, but it is still
as good for quenching thirst as the
most sparkling spring water. Fami.
lies using water so treated will not
only not take typhoid from the wat.
er. but the water itself will prove a
preventive by antagonizing such
germs as have lodged in the mouth
or any part of the throat, stomach
or intestines.
Cholera and all germ diseases,
can de combated with benetol, BY
large internal doses. For some time
there have been extensive tests made
by physicians, and benetol has been
given to drink. in doses as large as a
teasroonful in a half glass of water
three times day. Against such a
solution there is no known germ that
would not instantly be vanquished
upon contract. It has been dis.
covered also that the penetrating
power of benetol is tremendous and
l have had fine rer orts from physi-
clans using it in pneumonia, by
simply rubbing large quantities on
the chest. The stubborn tubercular
germ is easily killed; on tubercular
Assesses it shows its power without
question. 1t not only kills the germs,
but disinfects and starts healing at
once.
Because of the way it kills tuber-
cular germs, I have received hum
dreds of letters asking if it will cure
tuberculosis of the lungs. 1 can only
say, it will kill tubercular germs
wherever it can reach them. 1t can
be breathed into the lungs. from a
nebulizer, when mixed with oil that
will nebulize. If such inhalation
will reach all the small lung pockets,
it will kill the germs. I have some
reports showing benefits, in cases
where it has been tried. Farther
than that I cannot say at this time.
Certain it is, that benetol is worth
a trial, for it will surely kill such
germs as are in the upper lung pas.

intestinal tracts, for they. can be
