If PYORRHEA attacks your teeth

"HAT natural, bappy smile of yours, Talmisch nowe may be gone in a few years if you neglect your teeth. Pyorrhea, dreaded disease of the gums, is the price of neglect.

At first the gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Next dey become spongy, tender. They hurt! They lose their healthy pink. The teeth loosen, and eventually may drop out entirely, or have to be pulled out! ·

Keep your smile, and the health and happiness that go with it, by protect ing your teeth and guins now, while they are sound. Use the one dentifrice scientifically designed to prevent this ugly disease.

Forban's for the Gums is more than an ordinary tooth pasta; it cleans and' whitens your teeth; keeps gums firm and healthy, and when used regulsely, prevents pyorrhin.

Start today. Just brush your teeth every morning and night with Forlan's for the Gumi. It will save your smile for years to come and insure your health, too!

Don't gamble with Pyorrhea; 4 out of 5 past 40, and thousands younger, ace ita victims.

Forhan's for the Guns is the formula of R. J. Forban, D.D.S., specialist in mouth diseases. It contains Forhan's Prorches Astringent developed by Dr. Torban and used by dentists throughout the world in the treatment of pyorthez. Sales Agrass, MULLER, MACLEAN & Co., Inc.
