PYORRHEA

TYORRHEA is distressing to have but easy to prevent. For one hundred years dentists throughout the world have recom- mended this preventive: saturate your brush with sparkling, refreshi ing LIQUID SOZODONT the first thing in the merring. Massage your gums briskly until the foamy liquid has brought the blood ling ling to the gums. Rub the teeth thoroughly from gum to the edge of the teeth. Let century-old LIQUID SOZODONT penetrate every.crevice between the teeth to remove small particles of food.

Use either SOZODONT PASTE or POWDER to thoroughly clean the teeth. This should be done at least twice a week. SOZODONE is free from disagreeable and harmful grit.

If you will persist in the combined use

of. LIQUID SCZODONT and SOZODONT PASTE or POWDER your guns will resist dread pyonthes and your teeth will be free from decay.
