Read how the common house-fly could wipe out your family

YOU MAY BE REVOLTED BUT THAT’S BETTER THAN BEING DEAD!

Straight from manure heaps and filthy garbage, flies come into your home swollen with dirt and germs. Each fly is covered with myriads of tiny, sticky hairs – and each hair can carry enough infection to wipe out your family.

Whatever they touch, food, plates, cutlery, even if they just brush it as they pass, immediately becomes a breeding ground of germs.

The eating habits of flies are even more disgusting. The moment the toothless fly lands on your food, it vomits an infection-charged fluid to liquefy it before eating, then sucks through its hairy, syphon-like mouth. Medical research recognises the common house-fly as one of the greatest potential dangers to community health.

Flies can carry such deadly diseases as POLIO-MYELITIS, TUBERCULOSIS, DYSENTERY or GASTRO_ENTERITIS into your home . . . on to the very food you eat. Your surest protection against fly-borne diseases and all insect pests is “Cyclone” screenwire on doors and windows. Decide NOW – see your hardware dealer without delay.

Don’t have a half-fit family this winter

When somebody in your family is suffering from colds, flu or bronchitis, there’s a real risk of others being infected. This pattern of winter illness is all-too-familiar in many Australian homes.

Don’t have a “half-fit” family this winter. Give them double-acting Waterbury’s Compound. Some medicines give relief against colds or flu. Others help sufferers gain strength after sickness. But Waterbury’s is the only double-acting tonic you can buy.

Not only does Waterbury’s help clear congestion and the misery of colds, flu and bronchitis, it goes on where others leave off, to enrich the blood, restore nerve tissues, build resistance, stimulate the system and unleash new vigour.

Relieves misery of winter ills
Builds new energy and resistance

Give your family Waterbury’s now, and right through winter.
