The importance Of toilet
tissue in relation to fem.
inine health and hygiene

For years toilet tissue has been one
subject which has been taken for
granted. Until recently, it had never
been really considered within the
realm Of . medical product.
That serious infections can actually
follow the use Of toilet paper by
women was brought to light in : re-
cent survey among some 1000 physi-
clans. The greater proportion Of these
doctors stated explicitly that these
troubles can be caused, not by the
paper itself, but by its lack Of proper
wet strength.

 While the elders have the sport of doing the playboy thing with the new currency it is supplied by the kiddoes. These receive cents for every trout tail turned in.
