GIRLS Who ARE BEAUTIFUL.
THE FAIR SEX HAS VARIOUS SCHEMES
BY WHICH 1T MAKES ITSELF
MORE ATTRACTIVE.

A woman or man, for that matter, is
much more attractive with handsome,
white teeth than if the teeth are dull,
or colorless or lusterless. A young
girl might be otherwise as beautiful as
Venus, yet if she had poor teeth, she
would not be charming at all; in fact,
people turn away from her disappoint-
ed, and perhaps disguised. The care
of the teeth is always one of the chief
duties Of the true lady or gentleman
it is duty which they owe to their
companions and friends, as we'll as TO
their self respect.
How to make the teeth whitest; how
to preserve them long; how to strength
en- them aud the gums, has, in all ages,
been one of the chief aims of the beaux
and bells OF the period. When you
stop to think of it, there are very few
Preparations even today, when we have
all the learning that modern science
has CLEANED, which are wholesome for
the teeth, and at the same time effica-
ciOus in putting the pearly tint on
them, They'are either nostrums of no
value or else are positively dangerous
and do more to destroy the teeth than
ifi nothing were ever touched to the
mouth to cleanse and purify it,
A preparation which is absolutely
safe, most wholesome and permanently
effective is Wright's Antiseptic Myrrh
Tooth Soap, put up by Charles Wright
& Co., Chemists, Detroit, Mich. 1t is
a discovery founded on scientific prin-
ciples and is recommended by leading
dentists in all parts of the country, most
of whom use it personally.
The science of dentistry the world
over, in other words the art of repair
ing the teeth has never attained to such
high degree of excellence as at the
present time, and the best method to
employ to arrest decay is the principle
topic discussed at annual convention
of dentists. Eminent chemists of the
world have been making it study, and
it is found that the real cause of what
is termed dental carries decay of the
teeth is a bacillus, or germ, and to
prevent or intercept this decay, the
germ must be destroyed.
Prof. Miller, of the Berlin, Germany
University was one of the first to de-
clare that a mouth wash should be an
antiseptic or something that would
keep the mouth clean and wholesome.
He states in the "Theapeutische Mona
tshefte" that he has obtained over fifty
species of bacteria from the mouth, and
gives his unqualified approval of the
use of good dental Soap, rather than
tooth powder, as he considers it more
efficacious in CLEANSING, BEAUrIFYIAG
and PRESERVATION Of the teeth.
Prof. j. A. Waiting of the Dental
College of Michigan, University, and
we'll known as dental authority says:
Gentlemen: / am satisfied from a
careful examination of your Myrrh
Tooth Soap, that it contains nothing
! injurious to the teeth; | am using it

frice. j. A. Waiting, ID. ID. s.
