hee. yes! i was looking through old propaganda art and spotted it. it's pretty ludicrous, some of them. especially the racist, anti-sex, anti-drugs/liquor ones.
oh funny you mentioned that! i used to have a copy of that very clipping back when i lived in portland. i think it was in a 30s-40s ladies home journal. it's kind of synonymous with how they use bleach on maxipads, in modern day.
oh you have some too! fabulous, i'd love to see them. lysol and i think forms of bleach were suggested for douching purposes. i can't imagine there being any vermin decidedly strong enough to warrant the need for such, though i suppose they were hoping it would be a cure for scabies or odor? though imagine smelling like lysol or bleach- pine fresh or putrid? bizarre and i think also sterilizing fertility-wise.

I need to find the one where Lysol is advertised as a douche. Might help stifle the spread of WWII VD.
