to Happiness!

You may be startled by this
frankly written story 80. But wise
wives will see the answer to many
an unhappy marriage!
LOOKING back, Mary tried to re-
member just when it was that Jim
had begun to change. That might
IL tell her what was wrong.
1t wasn't as if they really quarreled.
1t they did she might find clue.
But how could you quarrel with hus-
band who just stayed aloof and silent
and drifted farther and farther away,
taking your happiness with him.
UocroRs KNOW that too many women
still do not have up-to-date informa-
tion about certain physical facts. And
too many who think they know have
onlyhalf- knowledge Sotheystillrelyon
ineffective or dangerous preparations.
You have right to know about the
important medical advances made
during recent years in connection with
this intimate problem. They affect
every woman's health and happiness.
And so, with the cooperation of doc
tors who specialize in women's medical
problems, the makers of Zonite have
just published an authoritative new
book, which clearly explains the facts.
(See free book offer beLoU.)
You SHOULD, however, be warned
here about two definite threats to hap
piness. First, the danger of infection
present every day in every woman's
life. Second, the most serious deodoriza-
tlon problem. any 1Uonlan has one
which you may not suspect. And what
to use, as a precaution, is so impor-
tant. That's why you ought to know
about Zonite antiseptic.
Used IN THE DoUcHE las well as for
a simple everyday routine of external
protection) Zonite is both antiseptic
and deodorant. Zonite deodorizes not
by just masking, but by actually de-
stroying odors. Leaves no lasting odor
of its own.
Zonite also kills Immediately all
germs and bacteria on contact. Yet
contains no poisons or acids. No other
type of liquid antiseptic-germicide is
more powerful, yet 20 safe. Your drug
gist has Zonite.
