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 Maoleans who write to us make a particular point of the healthiacys 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 Maolawa Peroxide Tooth Paste.
