Hygiene
"CAMELIA" solves a problem which has always been a cause of distress to womankind. No wonder that wherever "CAMELIA" is introduced it is permanently adopted! "CAMELIA" is a new idea which entirely supersedes all other forms of sanitary pads.
Your Doctor will Endorse this! Doctors and Nurses recommend "CAMELIA" for its many
hygienic advantages:—
1. "CAMELIA" supersedes makeshift methods with great
advantage to bealth and comfort.
2. "CAMELIA" is aseptic. It is made of sterilised materials, under absolutely hygienic conditions, and is "packed in a dustproof, sealed box.
3. "CAMELIA" absorbs all surface moisture-a frequeal
source of bacterial infection.
4. "CAMELIA" is deodorising
it absorbs odour.
5. "CAMELIA" gives-security, confidence, freedom from
.anxiety.
6. "CAMELIA" is cheap enough to throw away and can be instantly disposed of in the simplest and most hygienic manner possible. No laundering. “CAMELIA" is, in fact,
most easily disposed of
