Lysol's "Love-quiz...For married folks only," 1948 Could This Marriage Have Been Saved? A. Yes...had the wife taken heed of her husband's increasing coolness, known the secret of thorough feminine hygiene, kept herself lovely to love.... Source: New Liberty
Beware of one intimate neglect that can engulf you in marital grief. Too late when love has gone for a wife to plead that no one warned her of danger. Because a wise, considerate wife makes it her business to find out how to safeguard her daintiness in order to protect precious married love and happiness. One of the soundest ways for a wife to keep married love in bloom is to achieve dainty allure by practicing effective feminine hygiene such as regular vaginal douches with reliable "Lysol."
