For Women Who Care

OfcourSe you use an antlseptic IN your
'amily 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.
Faxtine is more economical, more
cleansing. more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.
