dull teeth
How to make them whiter-quickly
The new way world's dental authorities advise. What to do
THOSE whiter teeth that you envy.
Don't think they are beyond you. You can now lighten dull and dingy teeth-ake them gleam and glisten.
Modern science has discovered a new way. A method different in formula, action and affect from any you have ever used. This offers you a test. Sim- ply use the coupen; It brings free a 10-day tube.

So dingy teeth mean more than loss of good appearance. They may indicate danger, grave danger to your teeth..
