For Women Who Care
Of course you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using l
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed. -
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.
I ANTISEPTIC LHP
In the toilet—-to cleanse and whiten
the teeth, remove tartar and prevent
decay. To disinfect the mouth, destroy
disease germs, and purify the breath.
To keep artificial teeth and bridgework
clean and odorless. To remove nicotine
from the teeth and purify the breath
after smoking. To eradicate perspira
tion odors by sponge bathing.
As a medicinal agent for local
treatment of feminine ills where pelvic
catarrh, inflammation and ulceration
exist, nothing equals hot douches of
Paxtine. For ten years the Lydia E.
Pinkham Med. Co. has been regularly
advising their patients to use it because
of its extraordinary cleansing, healing
and germicidal power. For this pur
pose alone Paxtine is worth its weight
in gold. Also for nasal catarrh, sore
throat, inflamed eyes, cuts and wounds.
All druggists, 25 and 50 cents a box.
Trial box and testimony of 31
women free on request.
