· Modern science has found, a new way in tooth and gum care, A way different from any you have ever known.
Run your tongue across your teeth, and you will feel a film, a viscous coat that covers them.
That film is an enemy to your teeth and your gums. It elings to teeth, gets into crevices and, stays. It absorbis discol orations and gives your teeth that cloudy, "off-color" look. Germs by the millions breed in it and lay your teeth open to decay. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea and gum disorders.

Now, in a new-type dentifrice called Pepsodent, dental science has provided effective combatants. Their action is to curdle the film and remove it. Pepsodent also firms the gums:
