HOW to HAVE

a CINEMA SMILE

There is nothing more fascinating and al- luring than a smile that reveals brilliant, sparkling teeth.

Surely you want teeth that are really clean and bright when you smile so just try the Kolynos "dry brush” technique. Use only a half-inch of Kolynes on a dry brush. Don't wet the brush-the effect is like a miracle. Quickly Kolynos becomes a pleasant-tasting, active foam that surgos into every crevice on and between the teeth. Stains and discoloration disappear almost

at once.

Start this amazing Kolynos "dry, brush" technique today. You'll be delighted the way it reveals the hidden benuty of your teeth. ECONOMIZE-BUY the LARGE TUBE
