When one thinks
of the fact that not millions but milliards ofmicrobes and bacteria are living in a neglected mouth, that is, in a mouth that has not beon daily antiseptically cleansed, it seems nothing less than dis- gusting to allow such distruction to continue in our mouths 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 teeth, but also for the general health, to free their mouth daily from the bacteria which destroy their teeth. Odol arrests most thoroughly and effectively all fermentation and decomposition in the mouth. Everyone who uses Odol regularly every day nsures the greatest protection for his teeth and mouth that slontific discovery has up to the present time made possible. Odol is daily used by thousands of doctors and dantists themselves.
