When one thinks

of the fact that not millions but millards of microbes and bacteria: are living in a neglected mouth, that is, in a' mouth that has not - bean daily antiseptically cleansed, it seems nothing less than dis gusting to allowsuch distruction to continue 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 feath, but also for the goneral health, to free their mouth dally from the bacteria which destroy their tooth. Odol arrests most thoroughly and effectively all fermentation and decomposition in the mouth. Everyone who uses Odol regularly every day nsures the greatest protection for his teeth and: mouth that slantific discovery has up to the present time mode possible. Odol is daily usad by thousands of doctors and dentists themselves.
