Do you catch

COLD easily?

Your mouth is the open door to infection, the breeding place for millions of dangerous. germs, which cause colds and other diseases.

Surely you realize how nec- essary it is to keep the mouth clean, to prevent the rapid development of germ condi tions there which often result in serious illness.

In normal health, gargling morning and night with Lis terine Antiseptic full strength is deemed sufficient to keep germs under control and thus avoid colds and other troubles. But when infection starts-as is the case when you have a cold, influenza, grippe, or in-

flamed diroat, more frequent gargling is necessary. Once every two hours, authoritics urge.

디

Wet feet, exposure in bad weather, fatigue, improper dict, breathing vitiated air in crowded places, all help to lower body resistance to germ organisms. Nature alone can no longer cope with multiply- ing bacteria. Full strength Lis terine with its swift germicidal action then becomes an extra attacking force.

F

Listerine reduces mouth germs 98%. It is one of the most wonderful preventives and remedies known against colds, and other infections,
