Cad L on 0€M WVei* l_/_f_f 1934, first formally demonstrated to the medical profession the value of the age-old burn and abrasion remedy, cold liver oil, it has had extensive and very favorable clinical trials.2 It has been shown to exert a definitely stimulating action on granulation and epithelial regeneration. Moreover, it forms a bland, protective film over the wound, which practically eliroinates the pain of the daily dressings. VITAZOLE E.B.S. is cod liver oil incorporated in an ointment base and fortified to contain in each gram, 1000 International units of Vitamin A and 100 International units of Vitamin D, both of which appear to be closely concerned with regenerative processes in traumatized areas. Snlpha Drugs The marked bactericidal action of the cod liver oil itself3 is strengthened, in Vitazole E.B.S., by the bacteriostatic effect of two sulpha drugs. Sulphanilamide, being rapidly soluble in serum, gets into action quickly; sulphathiazole being less soluble gives a more prolonged action. Vitazole E.B.S. contains 4% of each, combining the well known selective action of sulphanilamide against haemolytic streptococci with that of sulphathiazole against staphylococci. These three agents together can be counted upon to eliminate bacterial flora from any wound. Indications: Wounds, burns, ulcers, abrasions. REFERENCES 1 Lohr, W.: Zentralbl. J.
