That slimy film which you feel with your tongue is a stain absorber. When tartar forms it is due to the film. The film clings to the teeth, gets into crevices and stays. Re- move that film and teeth will glisten in their natural whiteness. Film causes most tooth troubles. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. The tooth brush alone does not end film. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it. That is why the old-way brushing fails to save the teeth. Dental science, after years of searching, has found a way to combat thar film. Many clinical tests under able authorities have proved it beyond question. Leading dentists everywhere now urge its daily use. The method is embodied ina dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we are supply- ing a ten-day test free to anyone who asks. Watch the Teeth Whiten We ask you to send the coupon fora 10-Day Tube. Use like any tooth paste. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the slimy film. See how teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears. It will bea revelation. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albu- minous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to constantly com- bat it. Until lately this method was impossible. Pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. But science has discovered a harm- less activating method. It has been submitted to four years of laboratory tests. Now pepsin, combined with other Pepsodent ingredients, gives us for the first time an efficient film destroyer. It is important that you know it. To you and yours it means safer, whiter teeth. Cut out the coupon — now, before you forget it—and see the effects for yourself. Pepsaodent REGUS.
