When one thinks
of the fact that not millions but milliards of microbes and bacteria are living in a neglected mouth, that is, in a mouth that has not boon daily antiseplically cleansed, it seems nothing less then dis- gusting to allow such distruction to continue in our mouth and teeth. It is simply incredible that there still exist many educated people who refuse to realise that it is an absolute necessity not only for the preservation of the tooth, but also for the general health, to free their mouth daily from the bacteria which destroy their feath. Odol arrests most thoroughly and effectively all formaniation and decomposition in the mouth. Everyone who uses Odol regularly every day Insures the greatest protection for his teeth and mouth that sientific discovery has up to the present time made possible. Odol is daily used by thousands of doctors and dentists themselves.
