SOUND TEETH LATER

As soon as baby's first teeth appear, den- tista tell you to brush them at least twice a day with Kolynon.

Kolynox 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 early in life, helps insure sound tooth later. Children lovo Its pleasant, refreshing taste.
