NO ANAESTHETIC
In a nightmare of a journey they were helped by their fellow climbers and porters down the slopes of vle- torious Musherbrun to the base.
There they were tended by friends, Dr. G. A. J. Teasdale, of Hampshire, and his wife (also a doctor!.

WHAT DOES THE
X-RAY SHOW
?
Tooth decay sometimes works under cover. The N-ray frequently discloses teeth indly infected below the gum ling, which sop strength and even lead to serious diseases.
You must fight acid every time you brush your teeth! Germ Acids, forming from fermenting food particles, are the prin- eipal cause of tooth decay. You can fight them scientifically by brushing your teeth at least twice daily with Squibb Dental Cream. It is antacid and neutralizes Germ Acids,
Squibb Dental Cream contains nothing to serutch enamel or irritate gums...it protects and purifies as it cleans. And it costs no more than ordinary dentifrices
