Douching
with Lysol and Zonite in
Facts and Frauds in Woman's
Hygiene
A Fearless Exposé of
Misleading Claims and Dangers of
Widely Advertised Products Used by
Women [excerpts, pp.
142-157] by Rachel Lynn Palmer and
Sarah K. Greenberg, M.D., The Sun Dial
Press, New York, 1936
This hard-hitting book minces no
words. Douching survives today, of
course - but read The Perils of
Vaginal Douching, an essay by Luci
Capo Rome. And if you douche, this
chapter should sent chills down your
spine and make you wonder about
what's in that liquid.
