Douching
with Lysol and Zonite (pp.
142-143) in
Facts and Frauds in Woman's
Hygiene
by Rachel Lynn Palmer and
Sarah K. Greenberg, M.D., The
Sun Dial Press, New York, 1936
The Dionne quintuplets
(mentioned on p. 142),
Canadians born in 1934, were
the first five babies from a
single egg (and therefore
identical) known to have
survived. Subjects of huge
media attention, they formed
the center of a kind of freak
show with mixed consequences
for them, their parents and
their obstetrician.
See Lysol douche ads from
1928
and 1948.
See a Sterizol
douche liquid ad, 1926 and
one from Zonite.

exactly what the writers
talk about in Zonite's Facts
for Women,
published five years
before this book.
