"The Great American Dentifrice"

Sixty years has Sazodont been the Standard Dentifrice of the world. Merit only has made that possible. Millions of people all over the world are using Sozodent because of its genuine value as a cleanser and preserver of the teeth, purifier of the breath and an antiseptic tonic for the gums and mouth. It removes the harmful acids and permeates and invigorates the membrane of the mouth, its effect lasting for hours after use. Teeth of persons subject to an acid or bilious stomach are liable to discoloration, which requires extra friction to remove. The liquid, used every night and the powder or paste in morning, will soon remove all such tartarons adhesions and leave the teeth clean and white, imparting a refreshing feeling to the mouth. Sozodont in three forms:-liquid-powder-paste.
