are used as gargles and mouth

The interviewer named several.
The chemist laughed. Don't tell
a physician those are real antisep-
tics" he said. The public believes
them to be effective germicides. but
the public knows very little about
disinfectants. Zonite is not in the
class with the so-called mild anti
septics. 1t is surgical disinfectant
