THE PERFECT GERMICIDE
HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1933
NOVASEPTIC is unique in its sphere and has many definite advantages over all other germicides or antiseptics..
An efficient mouthwash must kill micro-organisms quickly
NOVASEPTIC does, this within 15 seconds. When an antiseptic is taken into the mouth it becomes diluted with saliva. Many mouthwashes effective when "undiluted " become useless or very slow in action when diluted.
NOVASEPTIC KILLS STREPTOCOCCUS—HAEMOLYTICUS, SCARLATINAE, B. DIPHTHERIA, B. PNEUMONIA, 8. INFLUENZAE, AND
MICRO-ORGANISMS OTHER
