Speeisl Dispatch to The Star.

C, TUESDAY, MARCH 25 1930. Kills 200,000,000 germs in 15 seconds. (Fastest killing time accurately recorded by science.) This is 20 times faster than government requirements. 2 Has penetrating power equal to 3% solution of carbolic acid. 3 Absolutely safe to use; non-poisonous, non-caustic. 4 Passes all tests of the Bureau of Chem- istry of the United States Government, and is approved by three nationally known laboratories, and The Lancet of London, outstanding medical journal. In‘ the prevention and treatment of disease, medical science has made mighty strides forward in the last decade. As a result, greater efficiency is demanded of antisep- tics and germicides. Those which cannot meet these new requirements are rejected. Those which can meet them find wholesale acceptance. Listerine has successfully passed every scientific test to which it has been: put. More than adequately, it has met every modern require- ment. These triumphs, preceded by fifty years of use in the hands of physician and layman alike, establish it as the antiseptic best suited to personal use—safe and healing in effect, yet with power to kill germs in the fastest time possible to measure accurately. Listerine passes germicidal test in three great laboratories The standard method used by the Bureau of Chemistry of the U. S. Government to test germ killing power and the penetration of an antiseptic in the presence of body fluids, is the Reddish Germicidal Method. Using this exact technique, three bacteriological laboratories of national repute in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, have tested Listerine repeatedly. Their records show that full strength Listerine Kills Staphylococcus Aureus (the pus germ) and. Bacillus Typhosus (the typhoid germ) in counts ranging to 200,000,000 in 15 seconds. Kills twenty times as fast as U. S. Government requires To qualify as an antiseptic or germicide, under Govern- ment standards, a preparation must kill Staphylococcus Aureus (the pus germ) within five minutes. Note that full strength Listerine kills this germ in 15 seconds—twenty times as fast as required. Special Note: In the measurement of killing power, 15 seconds is the quitkest time science has been able to record accurately. Any claims [by others of speedier killing are open to serious question, THE SAFE ANTISEPTIC LISTERIN PENETRATION TES PENETRATION TES R EeARBotcACD OF LISTERINE ANTI- Stepbylococcns Aurens SEPTIC +10% Staphylococcus Aurens ivisnt Agar +10% Blood Serum (From en sctusl photo- graph. Note the larger ares tee of germs, proviag Listerine's effectiveness.) Listerine’s penetrating power enables it to reach germs readily To destroy germs a germicide must first be able to reach them when they lie below the surface of tissue. Obviously penetrating power is vital to the value of any solution. Listerine has this power to an amazing degree. Using the accurate Petri dish method, the three laboratories mentioned above show Listerine to actually have penetrating power equal to a 3% solution of carbolic acid. Acclaimed by “Lancet,” high medical authority No higher endorsement can be given an antiseptic and germicide than that of The Lancet of London. This great medical journal never bestows approval on a practice or a product until it has been thoroughly tested. After conducting its own research, The Lancet unreservedly endorses Listerine as a safe antiseptic of high germicidal potency. Listerine—noh-poisonous, non-toxic, absolutely safe Lisferine.mny be safely used full strength in any body cavity. It is non-poisonous, non-irritating, and actually has a soothing and healing effect on tissue. ~ Every advance in science makes new demands of Antiseptics— and Listerine meets them all Laboratory tests show that full-strength Listerine kills not only the pus and typhoid germs in 15 seconds, but also such dangerous in- vaders as the Streptococcus, pneumonia, catarrh, influenza and acidophilus odontolycus germs type I and type IL Contrast these qualities with those of harsh, metallic, or poisonous solutions which damage tissue. This factor of safety cannot be overestimated, especially if any antisep- tic is to be kept in a home where there are children. Effective against sore throat, dandruff, and halitosis because germicidal Listerine has been found to be an excellent treatment for a great many ailments. Many of these ailments are alike in that they are caused by germs. And Listerine’s success in checking them is due primarily to its germicidal power. As a mouth wash and gargle it is highly successful in preventing colds and sore throat which are of germ origin and in checking them once they have takea hold. Many dermatologists agree that dandruff also is a germ infection. If this be true, you can understand why Listerine is accepted as a superior treatment for dandruff. In addition to its germicidal action, Listerine has remark- able cleansing powers. Moreover, it dissolves and re- moves the loose particles of dandruff. Halitosis (unpleasant breath) yields to Listerine first because Listerine is a powerful deodorant. When halitosis is caused by infections of the nose, mouth, gums, or throat, Listerine gets at the seat of the trouble by attack- ing the infection itself. It is always wise to use Listerine full strength; in this way you are certain of its effect. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo., U. S.
