LISTERINE

"but they're well taken care of"

Mothers! Beware of tooth pastes containing barsh abra- aives. The delicate enamel of children's teeth is easily scratched. Discolouration and decay, then, quickly follow.

Use only Listerine Tooth Paste, developed by the makers of Listerine Antiseptic. Its action is gentle but thorough. It contains no grit...nothing to injure tooth enamel. It cleans, polishes, whitens the teeth...arrests decay...helps

keep the gums firm and healthy. Children enjoy its fresh, clean taste...its freedom from soapinessand all gritty irritants. Listerine Tooth Paste embodies every improvement sanctioned by modern dental science, yet it actually, cosis less than other quality denti frices. Try a tubo next time.

The makers of Listerine-Tooth Paste (and Listerine Antiseptic) recommend the regular use of Pro-pho-lac-tic Tooth Brushes.
