SANITATION.
That the germ is the cause of most
deadly disease is more than mere
theory—it is a real fact. The work
of tuberculosis sanitoriumB, the ty­
phoid hospitals in the canal zone,
the yaccine laboratories are all evi­
dence of the fact that the safety of
man does not depend on good or bad
luck, but upon the fight which each
individual makes upon the disease
germs, the cause of most losses of
life and dollars. In selecting a weap­
on to kill the germs of disease several
vital questions must be looked squar­
ely in the face or disinfectanting will
be little better than useless. First—
Has the disinfectant the power to
kill all kinds of disease germs? 2nd,
Can the disinfectant be used safely
whenever disease germs are found?
3rd, Is it effective, when used any­
where and every where, and by any
body, and can it be used with safety?
Therefore a disinfectant that can be
used with safety must not be a poison
or coatine acid, whereas poisonous
disinfectants endanger the life of
human beings or animals, this can be
verified by turning to the files of
our daily papers. When buying a dis­
infectant be sure what you buy as
your life may depend on that pur­
chase, look at the label, note the
germ killing power and if it is poison
or not. Disinfectants are measured '
upon the germ killing strength of
undiluted carbolic acid, which they
term a phenol coefficient. Look for
the phenol coefficient on the label.
B. K. was tested by the United
States Hygiene Laboratory and found
to have a phenol coefficient 10 plus
or ten times stronger than undiluted
carbolic acid as a germ killer. Much
stronger than coal tar disinfectants
—much safer.
Safe—B-K. contains .no .poison,
acid or oil.
Clean__ B.—K. 13 colorless, leaves
stain on floors or walls.
Drudorant— B.-K. destroys foul
odors leaves no odor of itself.
Cheap to Use—B.--K. 13 30 much
stronger than other disinfectants
that it does more disinfecting for the
same money. Use it in Barber Shops,
Barns, Bath Tubs, Bleaching, bread
boxes, chambers, closets, cupboards,
cuts and scratches, house and kitch­
en, laundry, nasal and throat sprays,
nursing bottles, operating rooms,

B.--K. is not a cure all but athor-
ough germ killer. Protect yourself
