 AND TEAR GUMS

 Mahogany.

Tastes and powders also tear the gums. thus breaking the surface of the membranes for more germs to enter. Everybody knows smooth skin is proof against infection In this way are planted such as pyorrhea-which was very rarely heard of before tooth pastes and powders were used. Yet in spite of the warming of dental authorities these troubles continue to multiply.
 Since these facts have been discovered thousands are taking the only right course to care for the teeth.brus them with a liquid antiseptic. And the finest germicide in the doctors pharmacopoeia Dobells Solution, has been made the basic of new mouth wash, Steroline.

But Do- bells Solution is not good for general use except in the form of Steroline. which allays its unpleasantness, makes it delightful. and adds new ingredients that sootheN and heal the gums, and cleanse the teeth
 No tooth paste or powder can reach more than so per cent of the surface. This leaves 40 per cent that is never cleaned.
