But "Acid-MOutb''
destroys teeth

When unswallowed food particles dis
solve against the teeth or under the
gums, "Acid-Mouth" results. This un-
favorable condition slowly but cease
lessly weakens the hard enamel. Germs
enter through the cavities thus formed
and swiftly destroy the soft, interior
pulp. Tooth decay is said to occur in
this manner in 19 out of every 20 cases.
What can check "Acid- Mouth?
The twice-a-day use of Pebeco Tooth
Paste and regular tooth examinations
by reliable dentist.
Pebeco counteracts ''Acid-M Mouth"
whitens and polishes the teeth, and en-
dows the whole mouth with delightful
sense of exhilaration.
