This Celebrated lightning Conductor, owing the
material Of which 1t is made, and the manner Of Its

clusively shown by practical test OF over twenty
fonr years, during which time 1t has been con-

private and public buildings, in all sections Of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, IL

At the present day no one will deny the necessity

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusibleand offensive in socie;F
and yet the cause OF it may easily be re
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. 1t purifes and sweotens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
It removes all unpleasant odors OF the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
