The World's Dentinice
Odol possesses the three essential characteristics of a good dentifrice and mouthwash
It is genuinely antiseptic, and prevents
decay of the teeth,
a. It is innocuous to the most sensitive mouth.
3. It is agreeable, and very refreshing to the
palate.
A liquid antiseptic is the only one which is able to penetrate all the hidden cavities of the teeth-tooth powders or pastes can never do this but in the case of Odol the antiseptic docs its work thoroughly, the good effects lasting for hours after the may has been rinsed with it.

other visible bruises: The bruise on the head looked to have been caused by a fall. The skull was not fractured, and the brain showed no sign of injury. The heart was flabby and fatty, and the lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys all showed veinous congestion, the result of a discased heart. The cause of death, in his opinion, was shock, acting on a diseased heart. The shock could have been caused by a fright..
Mr. Crew asked was it not a fact that certain parts of the body did not show bruissa so quickly as others.
Dr. MacFarlane said that if a man was prodded with a truncheon where he had no bone, on a fleshy part, the bruises might not show so quickly. The bruise on the head was at the very top, slightly to the backg
Suppose he had been prodded by a trun cheon, do you think it would have hastened his death-Yes, if he were prodded sharply.
You say that in your opinion, the bruises on the knee and on the head wore caused by a fall? Yes.
How do you make those injuries con- sistent with the same fall -He could have got the bruises on his knees in the first instance by falling, and then, on beck and trying to get up, have braised his head.
