EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the First World War, the importance of maintaining good hygiene and sanitation became more crucial than ever. In September 1914, the British public were urged to avoid using German disinfectants and instead turn to Sanitas, the trusted brand appointed by King George V. Sanitas, a leading British disinfectant manufacturer, offered a range of products to help keep the population healthy during these challenging times. The Sanitas Fluid was recommended for washing wounds, providing essential care and treatment for soldiers and civilians alike. Its effectiveness in purifying the air of sick rooms made it an invaluable asset in hospitals and homes, helping to prevent the spread of disease. The Sanitas-Sypol was another essential product used by surgeons and nurses for antiseptic dressings. The importance of antiseptic treatment during surgery was well understood, and the Sanitas-Sypol was trusted to provide the highest level of cleanliness and safety. This advertisement, featuring a compassionate nurse holding a wounded soldier, emphasizes the importance of Sanitas disinfectants during wartime. The image, set against the backdrop of London's Limehouse district, adds a sense of familiarity and reassurance. The historical significance of this advertisement lies in its reminder of the critical role that hygiene and disinfectants played during the First World War, and the trust placed in the Sanitas brand by the British monarchy and public.
