Facts No
Married Woman
Should Be Denied

II is every wife's right to know certain
facts. Her greatest happiness. her physical
and mental well-being may be at stake.
She cannot GO by what Others tell; she
must know. For even today thousands OF
innocent young women unknowingly use
over-strong solutions of acids for the
douche which can actually burn. scar and
even desensitize delicate tissue.
Today such risks are needless. Science
has given womankind a safe-yet amaz-
ingly powerful-liquid for the douche,
Zonite. So powerful is Zonite, il kills in
stantly all germs and bacteria with which
II comes in contact. Deodorizes-by actti-
ally destroying odors. leaving no teltae
odor of its own. Protects personal dainti-
ness. Yet Zonite is non-caustic, non-poi-
sonous. safe for delicate tissues Over

Congressman who haven't had the
foresight to lay away a little nest
