Gum tenderness — : serious tooth-menace Tis true that four out of five people over forty suffer From gum-shrink- age, of Pyorrhea (Riggs’ Disease). But many peo- ple even under thirty have Pyorthea. Women, par- ticularly after the baby comes, are peculiarly sub- | ject to Pyorthea. At such time they cannot be too careful about their teeth Pyorrhea commences| with tender gums, or with | gum-bleeding, at tooth- brush time, Gradually the gums become spongy. They inflame and then shrink The teeth become exposed to decay at the base and tiny openings in the gums become the breeding places of disease germs which infect the joints—or tonsils — or cause other ailments. Beware of that first gum tenderness! Try Forhan’s for the gums. lt positively prevents Py- orthea, if used in time and used consistently. No ordinary tooth paste will do this. And Forhan’s cleans | teeth scientifically, as well. Brush your teeth | with it. lt keeps the teeth white and clean. Wf gum-shrinkage has al. ceady set in, start using Forhan’s and consult a den. tut immediately for special treatment ‘35e and 60c tubes All Drugaists FORHAN CO. 2D otk N.Y. Books Received More E. K.

You, too, must go, Since cruel laws ordain it so. No more shall we together stray Through drowsy dreams of Nor cozy twilight musings know. sterday, No more may I coax, sure and slow, Your fragrant amber bowl to glow With charm that never lost its sway— Good-by, old dear Boon comrade of all joy and woe, Who helped me bear hard luck’s worst blow, And made my happy hours more gay, Now they have banished you away, Each hour more lonely I shall grow Good-by, old dear Cc.
