Pretty mouths should have pretty teeth In
them, but 1t Is not unusual to see between
rosy lips, teeth discolored and decaying
through neglect. This disfiguring defect
should be repaired without delay, by using
fragrant Sozodont, which removes every par
| ticle of tartar from the teeth and renders
them snowy white. This admirable aid to
beauty Is perfectly harmless and exhales a
most delightful aroma, and is in every re-
spect preferable to the ordinary tooth
pastes and powders. Try it and see for your
self. mayl6ml
