Sterizol douche liquid ad

Sterizol contains in its name the condition it wanted to achieve, a sterilized vagina, just like a sterilized toilet seat, but which would help kill sperm. This ad appears on the page after the Marvel douche ad, and is from February 1926. Note that a woman can use Sterizol for other things, perhaps for cleaning the bathroom floor.
