EPIDEMIC DISEASE.
"NIP IT IN THE BUD." "It's catching"—this is what people say when • malady spreads among them as fire spreads in dry grass ; the phrase states a fact without explanation, which is a pity, because if once yon understand why " it's catching," you ,can prevent it catching instead of having to cure it—cure is often, impossible, and is expensive. Now you can understand the flame running through grass, but you can only see the spread of disease by its results, because disease is spread by living germs or seeds, too small to see, and 10 light that air can carry and distribute them; the only way to prevent. Disease Germs "catching" is to kill them. To kill an Invisible foe may seem difficult; but in this case it is easy and cheap, for you can kill Disease Germs by meeting them at every point with something in hourly use and immediately fatal to them. Science has given us this in Lifebuoy Royal Disinfectant Soap, and its germ-killing nower in hospitals and sanitation has stamped ft .'is a world-tested Life Saver. But it is the protection of health in your swn home that is your particular care, and it is there that Lifebuoy Soap will block the Disease Germ or " nip it in the bud " before it.does harm. When you have used Lifebuoy Boap in bath and bedroom, employed it in bouse cleaning and flushing sinks and drains, its disinfecting power will have rendered Germlife almost impossible ; almost, but not quite; to do the work more thoroughly, you must Bse Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry. Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry catches the germ in the right place to "nip it in the bud," namely, in your clothes and house linen. All week the clothes have gathered the inevitable germs from the air, the street, the office and the train, the laundry provides the place for their wholesale execution, and Lifebuoy Soap carries it out relentlessly. Lifebuoy Soap will pile your wash-basket with fragrant, snowy linen, absolutely germfcee and practically germ-proof. Use Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry, and the Disease Germs, instead of catching will be caught— nipped in the bud " before they do harm.
