Ways to combat it
Dental SCIENCE after years of research, has found
effective ways to fight film. Able authorities have
proved their efficiency. Together they bring, d,
modern opinion new era in teeth cleaning
These FIVE methods are combined in a dentifrice
called Pepsodent-a tooth paste which complies
with all the new requirenents% And ten-day tube
Is now sent free to everyone who asks
Watch the teeth whiten
You will see and feel results from Pepsodent
which brushing never brought you heretofore. A
weeks use, we think, viii amaze you.
One ingredient is pepsin. One multiples the
starch dgestant in the saliva to digest all starch
deposits that cling. One multiplies the alkalinity
OF the saliva to neutralize mouth acids
Two factors directly attack the film One of
them keeps the teeth SO highly polished that film
cannot easily cling.
Watch these effects Send the coupon for a 10
Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after
using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. Note
how teeth whiten as the 6lm-coat disappears.
The book we send explains all these results
Judge what they mean to you and yours Cut out
the coupon SO yon won't forget
