WHY TEETH DECAY
AND GUMS RECEOE
Every Breath Can Suck Germs
Into The Mouth Where They
Multiply and Spread
A New Way To Protect Mouth

The real cause of tooth, gum and
throat troubles is not hard to find.
Remember, every breath you take
through your mouth may be loaded
with germs. Your teeth and gums
are right at the doorway of your
body and germs which would die
quickly on the outside skin, live and
make trouble in the mouth because it
is warm there.
If your teeth and gums are already
in bad shape, go to your dentist at
once. If you or your children have
throat trouble consult physician.
But remember that the germs you
breathe in, lodge in the mouth and
cause many of these Affections, and
you can prevent this by daily mouth
wash with Steroline.
Steroline is a new product, formu-
lated to serve as an antiseptic mouth
wash and gargle. It's daily use will
keer your mouth clean and whole
some. When you rinse it over the
membranes of the mouth and through
the teeth, you protect yourself
against germs that might later find
their way to the lungs and stomach.
Children who do not know these
things are likely to let soiled fingers
and objects come in contact with the
mouth. They soon learn to use Ster-
oline (diluted) which leaves a clean,
fresh, agreeable taste and may save
them much unhappiness later on.
If you or your children are free
from tooth. gum and throat trouble,
be thankful and keep up this condi-
ton by using Steroline. If there is
trouble, have it attended to promptly
and do something to avoid future re-
currence by daily cleansing of the
mouth with Steroline.
Steroline is sold and recommended
by druggists. The price is soc the
bottle. The formula is printed on
the label. Steroline is always pre-
sented in an ethical manner. adv
