with the To-Day Tube tells the reasons
for them.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another
multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva to digest starch deposits that
cling. Each application also multiplies
the alkalinity of tine saliva-to neutral
ize the acids which cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One keeps the teeth SO highly polished
that film cannot easily adhere.
Day by day we fight the film and all
its ill effects. You see the results in
whittier teeth. You feel them in cleaner
teeth. But the great results are such
protection as teeth never had before.
You owe yourself a knowledge OF
these facts. Old ways of brushing
have proved sadly inadequate. Nearly
everybody at some time suffers troubles
caused by film.
Now science knows how to combat
film, and in ten days you can know.
Never again will you trust the old
ways when you know the new.

An alarming situation

All dIdI IIIIIIIS SIIQdtlOII
Tooth troubles have been constantly
increasing. Very few people escape
them. So dental science has in late
years studied to combat that film.
Now we know how. The methods
have been proved by careful clinical
tests, made under able authorities.
Now millions of'people employ them.
largely by dental advice. A new era in
teeth cleaning is fast spreading the
world over.
These new methods are combined in
a dentifrice called Pepsodent. A 10

asks. Now all who will may quickly
know that film can be combated.

Your druggist today has new way
of teeth cleaning. And ten-day tube

Millions of people now employ it.
Leading dentists everywhere advise it
You would never 60 without it if you

Go ask for that free tube. There are

Remove the film-coat
You brush teeth now, but you leave
much of the film. A viscous film clings
to the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not end
it. So teeth too often diseolor and de-
cay.
Dentists now know that the reason
lies in film. That causes most tooth
troubles. And, until one ends it. brush
ing fails to save the teeth.
It is the filn-coat that discolors, not
the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar.
1t holds food substance which ferments
and forms acid. It holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay.

Cumber will come up for reelection
