METADELPHENE® to help military protect personnel from mosquitoes and other biting pests... A recent U.S. military bid for an all-pur pose insect repellent is being filled with Metadelphene (Hercules diethyltoluamide, or deet*). Deet is now specified by the military as the new standard all-purpose insect repellent, replacing the older triple mix material. Deet, a complete repellent in itself, of fers greater protection from a wider range of biting pests than the formerly used combination of three repellent compounds. In addition, deet provides the military superior resistance to wiping action and sweating as well as an amazing ability to withstand the effect of water rinsing that servicemen might encounter during expo sure to heavy rainfall and while fording streams. This same material, selected by the mili tary to protect servicemen under the most extreme field conditions, is available for your commercial preparations. In addi tion to its proved effectiveness, Metadel phene does not leave a greasy film on the skin. No other insect repellent need be added to Metadelphene—no other chemi cal or combination of chemicals can ap proach its performance. Metadelphene in itself is the complete insect repellent! *"deet" is the common name officially adopted by the Entomological Society of America for the meta isomer of diethyltoluamide
