SCIENCE ATTACKS COLDS

New Discovery that Kills Germs

It is now known that the "common cold"—like its big brothers, influenza, and "catarrh —is caused by germs. You come into contact with a sufferer —germs enter your system through the breathing passages—the warm, moist conditions of1 the nose, throat, and lungs provide., ideal, breeding grounds—the; germs "multiply■ rapidly—and you have "eaugbt a cold." Obviously, then, the way to cure a cold is to kill the germs that cause! the cold. Those ore the lines along which chemists have been working for many years past. They have been striving to evolve an inhalent that is sufficiently powerful to destroy the germs and yet can be used with safety by adults or children. At last they have been successful. They have produced Karsote Inhalent. ...... The actual germ-killing effect of Karsot* on cold, influenza, and catarrhrCausing. germs is shown in magnified diagram below, xi^ vS? \^/ Fig. I.—Germs at commencement of attack. Kg. 2.—Showing large increase In number of germs after 24 hours. Fig. 3.—Less than 10. minutes" exposure to Karsote vapour has entirely lulled the germs. . ■ AH that one has to do to use Karsote i« to shake a few drops on to a handkerchief, and inhale the powerful germ-killing vapours. So the Karsote Inhalent treatment has the advantage that it may be used anywhere, and at any time of the day—or during the night, since it can be sprinkled on the pillow and inhaled in the sleep. . - ■ Karsoto is now obtainable of moat chemist* and stores, at Is 6d and 2s 3d per bottle.
