DROPER CARE of both gums and teeth requires both liquid and a Ipaste or powder because the liquid penetrates the crevices where decay starts. SOZODONT combined treatment of Liquid and Paste or Powder is the complete dentifrice. Saturate your brush with LIQUID SOZODONT. Massage the gums briskly inside and outside with it. Brush the teeth well. Let LIQUID SOZODONT penchrath every crevice to remove the small particles of food that cause decay. Your mouth will feel refreshed and stimulated.

To make your teeth ventable ledges of pearl, brush them briskly with either SOZODONT PASTE or POWDER. No danger of destroying the enamel or injuting gums.
