A toothpaste that merely cleans the teeth does only half the job. Gume, too, must be cared for-must be kept free from infection. And FORHAN'S is the toothpaste that does both those jobs.
Notice the improvement when you start using Forhan's. See how brilliantly white your teeth become. And how much more firm and healthy your gume look and feel. A special ingredient, Dr. Forhan's famous Astringent, used in no other toothpaste, assures this double pro- tection. Start using Forhan's today!
