PYORRHEA

+

YORRHEA is distressing to have but easy to prevent. For one Phundred years dentists throughout the world have recom mended this preventive: saturate your brush with sparkling, refresh- ing LIQUID SOZODONT the first thing in the morning. Manage your guns briskly until the foamy liquid has brought the blooding- fing to the gums. Rub the teeth thoroughly from gun 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'br POWDER to thoroughly dear the teeth. This should be done at least twice a week SOZODONT is free from disagreeable and harmful grit..

If you will persist in the combined use-

of LIQUID SOZODONT and SOZODONT PASTE or POWDER your gums will resist dread pyonthea and your teeth will be free from decay.
