Theorists have never yet proved that
Nature was wrong

TIME theory of most dentifrices is that Nature
l. made no provision for removing the acids Of
food decay which ruin teeth, and that it IS neces-
sary, therefore, to powerful alkaline dentrice
to neutralize these acids.
One of the worlds leading authorities on Dental
Science, H. P. Pckerill, M. D., Oh. B., M D. S.
(Brmingham), L, D. S. England), has exploded
this alkaline theory and has proved conclusively:
that copous and constant flow of saliva destroys the
acids of food decay
and that strongly alkaline dentiirice is dangerous
because parayzes the savary glands and checks the
secetions and flow of saliva, thus interfering with Ma
turc's method of preserving teeth.
The dental profession has accepted the prnci-
pies which Dr. pickerill has proved. Your dentist
will tell you not to use an alkaline dentifrice.
Mennen Cream Dentifrice is made to
conform to the scientific principles Of mod
ern dentistry as expounded by DR.. Pickerill.
1t is non alkaline.
