ORAL HYGIENE
A Vital Factor in the Health Of thu
Community.

community.
In these DAYS of research into the
problem of the prevention, rather than
the cure of disease, the Importance OF
Oral Hygiene as factor in the health
of the community is being more and
more generally recognized and the ne
cessity for daily guarding against the
evils of infection through the tender
membranes of the mouth and throat
bv the persistent use of an antiseptic
mouth wash or gargle is universally
realized :,
To the ignorance of the laws of Oral
Hygiene can be traced more of the ills
from which humanity suffers than to
any other cause AS DIR. Osler says:
"You have one gospel to preach and
you have to preach it early and late
1t is the gospel of cleanliness Of the
mouth, the teeth, and the throat. These
three things must be your text through
life. Oral Hygiene, the hygiene OF the
mouth-there is not single thing more
important to the public in the whole
range of Hygiene than that,
The formula of LISTOGEN. RENE
dial antiseptic of unusual merit, is par
ticularly adapted to meet the require
ments, of Oral Hygiene. The well
known remedial effect of Thymol, Men,

equally well-known antiseptic value OF
Hydrogen Peroxide, insure in the use
of LISTOGEN the determination OF
germ life or decaying elements in the
mouth, teeth, or throat.
LISTOGEN is as harmless as it is
efficacious, pleasant to taste and smell
and will be found of immediate benefit
in preventing serious consequences
from sore throat or minor cuts,
