Smiling with Confidence

You can smile with confidence only if your teeth are perfectly clean. Clean them with the world-famous Odol Tooth- paste and they will always be dazzlingly white. Make sure, too, that your breath is sweet and fragrant. Use Odol Mouthwash. It is strongly ger- micidal and will protect your mouth and throat. Famous beauties of society, stage and screen make Odol an Indispensable part of their daily toilet. Do the same and you will become more beautiful.
