113 Kiukiang Road Do not take chances with Hongkong foot which may develop into a very dangerous disease.—The first signs of this disease appear between the toes. The skin is moist and cracked with painful irritation and often an unpleasant odour, The moment these signs appear bathe the feet in 4% Lysol solution (1 teaspoon to 2 quarts of warm water) keep them immersed for fully 15 minutes. Do this at least once a day—more frequently if possible—for at least a week. It is most important that it should be done before retiring. Dry the feet thoroughly but do not rinse them.

As a preventative of Hongkong foot and all other diseases it is advisable to pour a small quantity of Lysol into the bath as this will kill all germs and prevent illness.

Beware of cheap imitations of Lysol, Registered Trademark Obtainable everywhere,
