New Discovery!

CLEANS FALSE TEETH

If your dental plate in as flesh-pinic and the teeth as clean and natural-looking as when your dentist first fitted them then you DON'T need 'Steradent. If they are dis- coloured, stained and unnatural-looking, you DO. For the sake of health, dentures ihould be free from germ-breeding stains. For the sake of your sppearance they should be clean and natural-looking.

10,000 Dentists Recommend 'Steradent' The sole purpose of 'Sterndent' is to clean and purify dentures-and it does the job as nothing else has ever done before. Over 10,000 dentists recommend it as the finest preparation of its kind ever produced. Simply put your plates in a glass of warm water with a little Steradent powder and stir well. You don't need to brush them.' Stains vanish. Even the blackest tobacco stains disappear after a few treatments. Every trace of film is gone. Your dentures are once more flesh-pink with clean, natural- looking teeth. They are sweet-smelling and pleasant-tasting; they feel silky-smouth, cool and comfortable. "Steradent' will do all and more than you promise" writes a grateful user. And a leading Dentist says, *** Steradent' is the best denture cleaner and stain remover I have ever tried.**

livery one with artificial teeth should use 'Sieradent. Satisfaction is guaranteed or money is refunded. Ask your Dentist about t. Remember-it is absolutely harmless. Agents: IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES (CHINA) LIMITED, HONGKONG,
