that Gibbs Dentifrice ensure by guarding teeth Sunny hours of happy laughter fill every day when health abounds. Gibbs Dentifrice guards that priceless boon-by guarding teeth. Many men, many women have perfect teeth to-day because in childhood they acquired the habit of using Gibbs Dentifrice three times a day. That delicious sense of cleanness delights them as much now as it did of old—as it delights children to-day,

Teeth might well be perfect when cleaned so thoroughly-polished so gently, yet surely. Nothing that could cause decay escapes that fragrant foam. Delicious the tonic refreshment of mouth and gums— delicious the sense of well-being.

Such a little tin-so handy-so neal. Contains so much cleanness. Take it with you-wherever you

go.
