Mr. Aubrey writes:
"You might be interested to know that I am
a regular and satisfied user of MACLEANS Peroxide Tooth Paste. As you will see from the accom- panying photograph, my teeth are as white and healthy as any man could wish, although I smoke a good deal.”
Many users of Macleans who write to us make a particular point of the healthiness of their mouths and the whiteness of their teeth. Such letters are
being received from all parts of the country, and emphasise the importance of using the genuine all-British Macleane
Peroxide Tooth Paste.

Upon my mouth do crush their wine; The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling an melons, as I pans, Ensnared with flowers; } fall on grass. Meanwhile the mind from pleasure leas Withdraws into its happiness;

The Postmaster-General of fifty years ago welcomed the flood of love-letters which poured through his mails. The Postmaster-General of to-day seems to have lost that trade, though no doubt the conversation between lovers is of as high a quality as ever it was.
But however well-spoken words may be, they can never give the same thrill as the sight of familiar handwriting on an envelope in the morning's mail.
An eminent doctor wrote in an anthology of love-letters: "If I had my way, I should have classes in all the schools to teach our adolescents not only how to Jove, but how to say so.. It is not enough to love. One must say It to one another and say it often."
Training in the art of writing lave-letters might sometimes ap- pear to bave dangerous consc- quences,
