“... offers the same protection against grippe, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleurisy and other infectious diseases that vaccine does against small pox ...”
“It is also the best preventive against the slight infections and ailments to which debilitated and delicate children are subject.”

IODEX
Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry
Iodex is manufactured by Menley and James, Ltd., New York. It is advertised as
“... an embodiment of vaporized iodin in an organic base, reduced and standardized at 5 per cent. by incorporation with a refined petroleum product.”
The advertising conveys the impression that the effects of free iodin are to be obtained from the preparation; it is said to contain “5 per cent. Therapeutically Free Iodine,” and to do
“... everything the doctor expects of FREE iodin employed by inunction, without one physical or therapeutic drawback.”
