THEN the war ended and peace came.
: Everyone returned to his former fields.
The Little Surgeon" and his co-worker the
Chemist, having given this great discovery
to the world, returned modestly and eagerly
to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research to work more wizardries and bring
further blessings upon mankind. The
soldiers, having fought their coed fight
and won-returned to their hearths and
their jobs, and like troubadours of old to
contribution to the victory and to tell with
reverence of the miracle of the Magic Fluid.
And EVERYMAN wondered!
The wounds of the war were soon healed
or healing. The struggles of peace were re-
stunned and then came the wounds of work.
a-day life. EVERYMAN discovered that
the war on germs did not end with the ar
mistlce. And EVERYMAN demanded that
the Magic Fluid be given to him so that he
might bring it into home as an added
weapon to his fortress in his battle of life.
But the Magic Fluid was not yet ready for
EVERYMAN. The Little Surgeon and
the Chemist when they made their wonder
full discovery had hastily adapted it only for
the immediate and urgent needs of war. It
wasnot available for everyday and household
use. ltwould not keep; it had to be freshly
made as frequently as needed; its prepare
ton was both delicate and complicated, re-
curing the careful supervision of chemists
and technicians. Its use and application
were matter for experts only.
So EVERYMAN called on modern science
to take the Magic Fluid and develop it SO
that this great boon to mankind, born SO
miraculously in the travail of dire necessity
might not be lost but be spread over the
world to become a universal blessing.
And SO modern scientists under the pres
sure of public demand took the Magic Fluid
into their laboratories and clinics. Thew
studied it; they worked on it; they expert
mented with it. What the Little Surgeon
and the Chemist had lacked upon the bat
tle6elds, modern science provided in the
laboratories.
They began where the ssLittle Surgeon''
and the Chemist had left off. They built
specially adapted machines and apparatus,
and tried different chemicals in new com.
binations yielding the same active principle.
They Experimental with more intricate and
evolved processes. They used intensified
electric currents Of terrific voltages and
PressureS and nicely balanced tempera-
lures. And they did it all over and over
again. Then after many, many months.
modern science was able to present to the
world new, improved and perfected Magic
Fluid that would do for EVERYMAN in
stricken soldier in war.
= They tested it in the thousands and
Thousands of different emergencies that
occur in everyday life where the menace of
germs arises, and discovered the new Magic
Fluid had all the virtues and merits of the
Carrel-Dakin Solution,-and morel Tho
original Magic Fluid of the Little Surgeon
and the Chemist was found to have been
only sign post pointing to a mine which
yielded TO the delvings of science a fortune
Of benefit to mankind!
And 50 out Of the tragedy of war and its
sufferings, from the wizardry of the Little
Surgeon" and the Chemist, and through
the labors of science, comes ZONITE, the
new, improved and perfected magic fluid to
provide EVERYMAN with a safe and mighty
defense against his grim invisible foe, the
germ.
