SOUND TEETH LATER

As soon as baby's first teeth appear, dan- tists tell you to brush them at least twice a day with Kolynos.

Kolynas not only keeps the teeth clean and the delicate gums healthy but protects the teeth from the germs that cause tooth decay—no ordinary toothpaste can 'give' this protection.

Brush your baby's teeth regularly with Kolynos and keep them clean and free from infection.

The Kolynos habit, started carly in life, helps Insure sound teeth later. Children love Its pleasant, refreshing taste.
