When one

thinks

of the fact that nof millions but milliards of microbes and bacteria are living in a neglected mouth, that is, in a mouth that has not boon daily antiseptically cleansed, it seems nothing less than dis- gusting to allow such distruction to continua in our mouths and teeth. It is simply incredible that there still exist many educated people who refuse to realise that it is an absolute necessity not only for the preservation of the teeth, but also for the general health, to free their mouth daily from the bacteria which destroy their teeth. Odol arrests most thoroughly and effectively all fermentation and decomposition in the mouth Everyone who uses Odol regularly every day

isures the greatest protection for his teeth and ' mouth that sientific discovery has up to the present time made possible. Odol is daily used by thousands of doctors and dentists themselves.
