So activated pepsin can now Be applied
to this film. And it means the end of that
film, as experience with Pepsodent proves.
For three years this product has been sub
jected to thousands of clinical tests. Many
able authorities nave watched tine results.
Those tests have proved that Pepsodent
solves the problem Of that film. And it does
that in dainty, pleasant way.

Old Methods Fail
To Save Teeth
As Everybody KNOWS

Soap and chalk have for hundreds OF years
been the basis of tooth pastes and powders.
Most clearly people Use them daily. Yet
statistics show that decay ard pyorrhea have
constantly increased.
Those methods have failed. Teeth still dis
color, still decay, despite the daily brushing.
Tartar still accunulates. Pyorrfea, in some
degree, is almost universal Every little while
one must visit a dentist for vigorous dental
cleaning. ---
Now it is known that the trouble lies In
clinging film. In that Shiny film which you
feel with your tongue.
That film is what discoiors. It llardcrs into
tartar. 1t holds food particles which fer1nent
and form acid. It holds that acid in contact
with the teeth-the cause Of all decay.
That film is alburninous, so It forms an
ideal breeding place for germs. Millions OF
germs of all sorts are ever-present In It.
These germs, together with tartar, are the
chief cause of pyorrhea. Through the in
famed gums the germs enter the veins. Now
it is known that many serious diseases are due
to this mouth infection.

Prove It by a z-Ddy Test

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digest
ant of albumin! The object is to digest and
dissolve this clinging. alburinous film. Then
to every day combat it, so the teeth are ever
free.
Pepsin must be activated, else it is inert.
The usual activating agent hydrochloric
acids harmful to the teeth. So pepsjE, for
this purpose, long seemed barred.
But invention has now supplied har1n-
less means Of act;vating it. In Pepsodent this
agent is combined with pepsin. And FIVE gov
ernnents have already granted patents OIL the
combination.

The Senate railroad bill was re-

South Carolina. The House COM

Both, however, now agree in the
main, as they do on the point which
challenges minority opposition. They
provide merely for renting the rail-
roads on terms satisfactory to their
present owners, so long as they may
be needed for war purposes and no
longer, except as a reasonable
time" after the war may be required
for settlement.
