For Women Who Care

Ofcourse you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
PaXtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

primary by 100000 votes, fact that will
