When Lysol Was a Douche



A turpentine and coal tar disinfectant used in the U.K. as kennel wash, and as both external and internal medicine.

This is from the same era when, here in the US, Lysol was used as both douche and birth control; before there was a Food and Drug Administration or a Center for Disease Control.

Quack cures and marketing are still about. Send $50 to learn more!
