Your dentist took your bad, un- healthy teeth out and gave you false teeth. Do not neglect them. Dirty, stained false teeth may become the breeding ground for many kinds of germs. Brushing won't kill those germs. Use 'STERADENT” powder recommended by over 10,000 dentists as an excellent cleanser and germ-killer for false teeth.
Add a little 'STERADENT' pow- der to warm water, stir well and leave your teeth in it for 20 minutes

while you dress or overnight. In the morning, rinse them. They will be clean, germ-free and spotless.
'STERADENT' removes stains, even when they are years old. Even blackest tobacco stains will com- pletely disappear after a few treat- meats. It is guaranteed to give complete satisfaction and cannot harm your false teeth. Try it to-night.
