ONE GERM BECOMES MANY How Colds Are Spread It may be only one little germ, or microbe, that floats into your system- with the air you breathe. But once lodged amongst the numerous tiny cavities of nose, throat or lungs, germs multiply rapidly. The warm, moist conditions provide an ideal breeding ground. The presence of large numbers of germs inflames the mucous membranes lining the nose and throat, and causes these membranes to “ respond ” by flooding the breathing passages with mucus or phlegm. And you have “ caught a cold ” ! There has recently been evolved a newscientific treatment for colds. With the aid of Karsote Inhalant, it is possible to nip colds in the bud by killing off germs as they enter the system. The actual germ-killing effect of Karsote on cold-causing germs is shown in magnified diagram below. I J fig. i.— Germs at commencement of attack. Fl". 2.—Showing large increase In number of germs after 24 hours. Fig. 3.—Less than 10 minutes* exposure to Karsote vapour has entirely killed the germs. To use Karsote, you simply sprinkle a few drops on to a handkerchief, and inhale the pleasant vapours that arise. Immediately you flood every crevice of the bronchial tubes, right down to the bottom of the lungs, with an atmosphere in which germs cannot possibly live. Nothing could be simpler—and certainly nothing could be more effective. Karsote is now obtainable of most chemists and stores at 1/6 and 2/3 per bottle.
