Q-W LABORATORIES Dept. 19 Bound Brook, New Jersey Magic Lies in pretty teeth—Remove that film Why will any woman in these days have dingy film on teeth? There is now a way to end it. Mil- lions of people employ it. You can see the results in glistening teeth everywhere you look. This is to offer a ten-day test, to show you how to beautify the teeth. Film is cloudy Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to the teeth, enters crevices and stays. When left it forms the basis of tartar. Teeth look discolored more or less. But film does more. It causes most tooth troubles. It holds food sub- stances which ferment and form acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. You leave it Old ways of brushing leave much of that film intact. It dims the teeth and, night and day, threatens serious dam- age. That’s why so many well-brushed teeth discolor and decay. Tooth troubles have been constantly increas- ing. So dental science has been seek- ing ways to fight that film. Two ef- fective methods have been found. They mean so much that leading den- tists the world over now advise them. Pepsaodéent The New-Day Dentifrice Now endorsed by authorities and advised by leading dentists practi- cally all the world over. All drug- gists supply the large tubes. Anew-type tooth paste has been per- fected, correcting some old mistakes. These two film combatants are em- bodied in it. The name is Pepsodent, and by its use millions now combat that film. Two other foes It also fights two other foes of teeth. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. To digest starch deposits on teeth which may otherwise cling and form acids. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. To neutralize mouth acids which cause tooth decay. Thus Pepsodent brings to people new conceptions of clean teeth. Lives altered Whole lives may be altered by this better tooth protection. Dentists now advise that children use Pepsodent from the time the first tooth appears. It will mean a new dental era. The way to know this is to send 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 whiten as the film-coats dis- appear. See and feel the new effects, then read the reasons in the book we send. If vou count such things imnortant, cut out the coupon now. 10-Day Tube Free *” THE PEPSODENT COMPANY, Dept. 449, 1104 S.
