“We appeal only to the Doctor’s judgment of his estimation of the formula.”
“Doctor you will readily determine from the formula the class of cases in which you have a right to expect satisfactory results.”
Yet the “formulas” given present so great a variety and such confusion that it is not clear even to a chemist just what the Dios Company wants the medical profession to regard as the composition of Germiletum.
The following statements of “composition” have appeared at various times:
1. In an advertising circular sent out some time ago:
“[HBF4 + BOH (OC6H4COOH)2
+ BOH (OC6H3COOH)2 + C3H5BO3
+ CH2O + C10H14O
+ C10H20O + C24H28N3Cl.]”
2. In advertising circulars which have been received of late, being wrapped with a sample package and with the “large size” trade package:
“[C7H6O2 + H3BO3 + C3H5BO3
+ (CH2O)3 + C10H20O + C10H14O + C2H6O]”
3. In another advertising circular:
“Germiletum is a slightly alkaline chemical solution of Borohydrofluoric Acid, Borosalylbenzoic Acid, Boroglycerine, Formaldehyde with Menthol, Thymol and Antiseptic Aromatics.”
