You feel sparkling all over. But —do you keep that morning sparkle? Just about noontime, do you find that smoking, at least, isn’t quite as pleasurable? There’s a preventive for a waning smoke appetite— Squibb’s Dental Cream. Squibb’s puts the sparkle in your mouth and keeps it there. The minute, clinging particles of its Milk of Magnesia swallow up mouth acids at The Danger Line, and keep your mouth brisk and fit, your breath always pleasant. Use Squibb’s in the morning and evening, anyway. At any other time during the day when you can, 40c at any druggist’s. Copyright 1928 by E. R. Squibb & Sons GUARD THE DANGER LINE comicbooks.com
