Brush is inadequate

The ordinary tooth paste does not
dissolve film. A soapy tooth paste
even makes it more viscous. So the
tooth brush has failed to end film. Mil
lions know that well-brushed teeth dis
color and decay.
Tooth troubles have been constantly
increasing. So dental science has for
years sought way to combat film.
Now that way is found. Able author
tiles have proved its efficiency by care
full clinical tests. Dentists have watched
its results for years. And now leading
dentists all over America are
urging its daily use.
A new-day tooth paste has
been developed, called Pepso- ~
dent. 1t meets every modern
requirement. And this new film N
combatant is now embodied y
in it.
