Dlgeatlbla—No Cooking. A Light Lunch Mr Avoid Imitation* — Substitutes SEND COUPON F0R ^-DAY You Owe Yourself this dainty habit Fight the film on teeth. You men and women owe to yourself prettier, cleaner teeth. | Teeth free from dingy film. Mil lions have learned the way to at tain them. If you don’t know it, pleaae try it now. Film it unclean Film is that viscous coat you feeL It resists the tooth brush, and much of it clings and stays. Soon it becomes discolored, then forms dingy coats. That’s why countless teeth are clouded more or leas. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in It. They, with tar. tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Under old methods, very few people, young or older, escaped these film-caused troubles. These facts led dental science to seek for film combatants. Eventu ally two were found. One disin tegrates the film, one removes it without harmful scouring. Protect the Enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enameL Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit. Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a new type tooth paste was created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. t Leading dentists the world over began to adviae this method. Now careful people of some SO nations are employing it every dfey. It brings many new effects Pepsodent does other things which research proved essential. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva—there to neutralize mouth acids. It multiplies* the starch di gestant in saliva—there to digest starch deposits. Soapy tooth pastes reduce these great protective agents. Pepao dent gives them manifold power* Thus the nae of Pepsodent brings astonishing results. They are quick and convincing. You wll not, when you know them, ever go without them. Rend the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth become whiter as the film-coats disappear. You will realize then how much this method means tn you and yours. Cut out coupon now.
