Dentists Issue Warning Against I ooth tastes

of diseases of the system.
 Leading dental hygienists, however. seem to have found successful remedy for the tooth paste evil. This remedy is in the form of remark able liquid sterilizing solution called Steroline. This not only cleans out the most inaccessible crevices, but through its prophylactic qualities sterilizes the mouth, gums. and throat and swectens the breath.
 And besides being a most efficient dcntifr;ce. when diluted with little water, .stcroline forms a delightful mouth wash. Used night and morn ing it will be found of immedaite relief to those suffering from tender gums. It leaves the mouth cool and sweet and is a real protection against the many diseases contracted through, the mouth.
 Steroiine is now sold by all leading
 druggists and is recommended by foremost dental surgeons. It is sold on a guarantee-if you are not per- feetly satisfied simply return the card board box to your druggist and
 he will cheerfu1ly refund your money. Get a bottle today.

Agree That Tooth Pastes, Due te Their Gritty Nature, More Often
 Sta1f Decay Than Arrest It.

What promises to be one of the most important steps forward in the science of dentistry is the recent de- cision made by prominent dental authorities against tooth pastes.
 It is known fact that even when the teeth are brushed carefully with tooth paste each day, decay very often sets in. The reason is, that when tooth paste is used. it's abrasive quali- ties eventually wear off the enamel, or a part of it, from the teeth. The parts of the teeth not protected with enamel are thus exposed and made more sensitive to decay.
 Another serious disadvantage of tooth paste, it is explained, is that due to it's very nature it cannot penetrate into the little out-of-the-way crevices of the teeth. Germs are thus allowed to breed and these not only cause decay, pyorrhca, tonsilitis and other throat troubles. but produce certain dangerous acid, which cause variety
