Thus the roots had moved steadily

Everybody of course knows that
the decay OF oae's teeth If not
promptly checked, leads to untold
suffering and nervous strain, and
rlaces undue work on the digestive
organs as result Of improper chew

II is now clear that In addition TO
these obvious dangers We must revk
on with the fact that decayed teeth
and affected gums Furnish the "eas
