Danger Pockets Called
Germ Nests
Cause Millions of Treacherous Colds

Science has proved that most
colds and influenza are caused
by thousands Of germ nests"
Germ nests" are microscopic
pockets, inches, cracks and crew
Ices in nose and throat passages.
Millions of cold and influenza
germs often lodge and breed
IN them. Then sneezing starts,
watery discharges come from eyes
and nose, smothering sensation
sets in, and other dreaded symp-
toms quickly develop.
Health authorities have long
advocated keeping nose and
throat passages cleansed and
Antiseptic. But now doctors know
that the big problem is to also
keep these germ nests healed,
soft and protected against in
fections.
A New Discovery
Science, after years ofresearch,
has found a remedy. 1t is based
on Men-tho-eze-a scientific, an
tiseptic cream. Six years of test
ing proves its efficacy beyond
question.

tons insert Men tho eye each

rauaht to use Both Eys..

The royal air force of England has instituted an eye drill that has made many splendid pilots out of men who otherwise would have been useless. IL was discovered that large percent. age of men only use one eye at q time, and in the early days pilots were not tested for eye balance. Many men were then passed into the air service who could never land correctly. When these deficiencies were discovered a school was formed and under an eye specialist twice day airmen under going the cure were paraded for eye drill and taught how t9 use both their eyes at the same time. The result was that 96 per cent of the men who would have been bad pilots became good ones in . little while.
