White teeth deceive 4 out of 5 BECAUSE : - teeth are only as healthy as the gums S° many people think they are secure when teeth are gleaming white. But too often they surrender to a disease of neglect—Pyorrtiea. Lurking behind clean teeth is this marauder that takes high toll in health from 4 persons out of 5 after forty, and thousands younger. It ignores the teeth and attacks the gums, Take this precaution: See your dentist every six months. And start using the dentifrice that cleans teeth without the use of harsh abrasives and at the same time helps keep the gums firm and healthy. As you know, Pyorrhea seldom attacks healthy gums. Morning and night, every day, use Forhan’s for the Gums. Massage your gums daily with this dentifrice, following directions in booklet that comes with tube. Then you provide the protection teeth and gums must have. At all druggists—in tubes, 35c and 60c. Formula of R. J. Forhan, D. D. S. Forhan Company, New York.
