Teeth Whiter.. ... Breath Fresh

7OU enjoy using Squibb Dental Cream. This pure, agreeable dentifrice brings out

the natural whiteness of your teeth without the slightest harm to enamel or gums. It contains no grit, no astringents, no bleaches.

More important still, Squibb Dental Cream is antacid and neutralizes the Germ Acids which cause decay and gum irritations.

Here food particles the toothbrush cannot reach ferment and form, the harmful acids. Dentifrices that merely "clean" are powerless'against them..

Use Squibb Dental Cream for cleaner, whiter teeth, for a refreshed mouth and scientific pro- tection against decay and gum troubles.
