AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
An AntiSsPtie More Powerful Than
Carbolic Acid, Yet Per-
fectly Harmless.

Every day in the year thousands
of lives are lost because people have
carclesly swallowed carbolic acid or
bichloride of mercury by mistake.
They thoughtlessly leave these deadly
posOns where unsuspecting people
are likely to use them in the thought
that they are harmless antiseptics.
These dangerous poisons should
never be kept around the house.
A new antiseptic, more powerful
than either carbolic acid or bichlor-
ide of mercury, and yet perfectly
harmless, is now being used in place
of these deadly poisons. PRO-PHY-
