Five years after the following articles
were published, the truth of all claims then
made have been fully substantiated and
big, growing business has been built up for

The testimony of one hundred we'll

physicians have said that Beneto ought TO

possible the entire Punishment of poisonous

the place of all of them and does their work
better and with safety
As to the potency of Benetol in all anti
septic applications, there can be no doubt
because ii is more powerful in disable
strength than any other known chemical,
yet il will not harm child. No one will
ever die through its accidental use, there

may be averted annually. Beneto is death
