You know

what children are always falling and cutting their knees and grazing their hands. I don't regard such things as trifles: I had a young brother who died of blood-poisoning. Tell me, is there no efficient antiseptic I can apply at once with per-, fect confidence ??

*Dettol is such an antiseptic-dangerous only to geruns. It is a clean, pleasant fluid-non-poisonous and non-staining--- highly efficient sa a germ-killer. You can apply it freely (there are directions on every boule). Remember, the smallest break in the skin is a wide-open gateway for the germa of septic infection. Disinfect cuts and scratches at once with 'Dettol." The way to prevent blood-poisoning is to kill the germs that cause it.
