A MARVELLOUS TOOTH PASTE

No task so pleasing as telling the
story of superlative thing-some in
tvention or discovery in Art, Mechanics
Medicine etc., that is wholly new, rev.
dictionary, in fact.
Elias Howe made such an invention
when he reversed the needle process
used by all the world ever since Adam
sewed his figleaves together. Tor rather
since his Divine Tailor did so for him)
viz, put the eye Of the needle in the
point, and thus made possible that won
derful labor saving instrument, the
sewing machine.
The disuse of the return wire in
telegraphy, and finally, of any wire at
at all, gave the world the marvel OF
wireless telegraphy.
The radical departure of using a
heavier than air machine with prope'lers
instead of the gas-supported balloon,
resulted in the amazing invasion of the
aerial realm wherein aviatorS reach
higher attitudes than the condor Hum
boldt saw flying over the dizzy top OF
Chimborazo.
Just such a radical departure from all
previous methods of cleansing the teeth,
is found in the newly discovered tooth
paste fast becoming famous-the
"Pepsodent." whose name suggests in
its first syllable the agent that pro-
duces those wonderful results-pepsin.
There forms upon the teeth tough,
adhesive, albuminous coating which is
not only unsightly, but is also the
breeding ground for the various germs
which cause tooth decay, pyorrhea, etc.
In addition to this, many other poison,
GUS germs are formed in this coating
which being swallowed cause stomach
and other diseases.
Records Of the Minnesota University
Hospital show that 80 to so per cent. Of
the admissions for medical service
there, are results of troubles caused by
mouth infection! Most Of these cases
could be prevented by proper care of
the teeth.
This tough, albuminous coating on
the teeth when old hardens and forms
tartar-a job for the dentist. All the
usual dentifrices sold as powders,
pastes, or liquids, dependupon abrasives
such as chalk, pumicestone etc., to
rub or wash off this tooth coating, called
by dentists the "mucine plaque"
But no amount Of rubbing, even with
so harsh powder as pumicestone, will
quite remove this coating, and, more
over. the use Of such powders Injuries
tie enamel Of the teeth. But the
remedy Is supplied by this new d;scov-
cry. Pepsodent. which dissolves this
tough. sticky film. The quick and com
plete manner Pepsodent does this. is
little short of marvellous
Chance led the writer to buy a tube |
of Pepsodent, and the instant results |
following its use SO surpassed anything |
he had known in long experience with |
al kinds of dentifces, that he feels he
is doing the public q service to tell about
this wonderful cleanser and preserver
Of the teeth-Pepsodent, In 40 years
bis teeth have Aet been 50 white as q
few uses Of it made them. 1t is pep
sin that works this MIRACLE; the same
pepsin that helps digest the food,
easily "digests" away this albumen Alm
On the teeth where no end of powder
rubbing and scrubbing would do 20.
Therefore, having used Pepsodent for
several months and seen its wonderful
efficiency, and having heard nothing
apt warm praises from others testing
t, the writer is 50 convinced of its un-
squalle4 levers to cleanse and preserve
he teeth that he would be willing to
ny its price several times over rather
han be without it. 4 delightful sur
Prise awaits>anyope who will step into
'ur drug stores here and in Odessa and
'uy tube-they will then become lifel
