The reports regarding swine at the same
eight markets show that the percentage
condemned for tuberculosis In 1917 was
0,2H per cent; In 1918. 0.199 per cent. and
in 1919, OCT per cent.
. 1t Is noteworthy. the meat inspection
division points out, that the percentage
of tuberculosis in swine declined along
with the decrease of the same disease
among cattle. The figures support the
belief that swine are infected with tu-
berculosis principally from cattle.

Old ways don't end it

Old ways of brushing do not end film.
Millions of people know that. Teeth dis
color and decay despite the daily care.
The reason lies in film. It clings and
hides, and very few escape its damage.
1t is the filrn-coat that discoIors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. All these troubles have been con-
stantly increasing some have grown
alarming. And all because we knew no
way to daily fight the film.

We Invite You
To see how really clean teeth shine

Your teeth are coated with a film.
When fresh the film is viscous-you can
feel it with your tongue. Later it forms
a cloudy coat. 1t enters crevices and
stays, 1t dirns the teeth, and now we
know that it causes most tooth troubles
There is now a way to end il. This
week your druggist, if you ask. will give
you To-Day Tube. Get it and see what
it does for your teeth. Learn what film
removal means.

These methods have been combined in
a dentifrice called Pepsodent. Millions of
people have come to employ it. You can
see the results wherever you look - in
glfstening teeth, in teeth you envy, maybe.
A new dental era has begun, due to
these discoveries. And these are benefits
everyone should share. So you are urged
to let this To-Day Tube show what Pep
sodent can do.

Brings five effects

Pepsodent brings five distinct effects.
All are apparent, some are quick. A few
days use will leave no doubt about them.
And little book will tell you what each
one means to you.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another null
tiplies the starch digestant in the saliva
to digest starch deposits that cling.
The alkalinity of the saliva is multiplied
at once. This is to neutralize the acids
which cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One of them keeps teeth so highly pol
ished that film cannot easily cdhere.
Every application brings the Pepsodent
effects. Together they mean tooth pro-
lection like you never had before.
