ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITS POWDER, prepared
from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti-
fying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates
tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness
to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of
incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the
Most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and
disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath.
Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers;
scurvy Is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness
are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in
their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth
Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of
years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns
and the Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
