For You, Also

Prettier Teeth-Whiter, Cleaner, Safer

Look about you and you'll see glistening teeth on every side to day.

Teeth which once were dingy now have luster. And women smile to show them

: ।

The reason is this: A now Way has been found to fight film on teeth, and millions now employ it. It is also at your command. So don't envy such teeth, but get them

That aloudy film

There form on your thath viscous film. You can feel it now. It clings to tooth, gets herwei the teeth and stRYK

That an absorbs stains. Then, if left, it forms the basis of dingy coats, including tartar. That's why teeth don't shine.

Film also holds food rubatance which ferments and forms acids. It holds the acids in contact with the teeth to cause decay, Germs bread by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor. rhca.

Thus most tooth traubles, which low cxcape, are now traced to that film.

Now we combat it

*Old methods of brushing are not sufficiently effective. So nearly everybody suffers from it more or Lear.

But dental science, after long research, has found two film com-

batants. Able authorities have proved their efficiency. Now lead -ing dentists all the world over are

urging their daily use..

A new-type tooth paste has bee created, based on moderą, knowl- edge. The name is Pepsodent, These two great im combatante are embodied in it

It milsplics the starch diges tant in, the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise ding and form, acids.

It multiplica the alkalinity of the saliva. That is Nature's agent for neutralizing acids which cause tooth decay..

Thus Pepsodent gives a mani. fold power to these great tooth protecting agents in the mouth: Watch them whiten

Pepsodent will bring to any home a new dental era. Millions of people have learned this, and now enjoy its benefits.
