Slide 33

Slide #33: The proprietors of M.I.S.T. sold boxes of 50 capsules for $1.00 and proclaimed it to be "the greatest blood purifier in the world." At times it was recommended not only for the diseases listed on the card, but also for "cancer and canerous germs" as well. The formula to do all this contained aloe, cascara, and licorice as active ingredients.
