Five desired effects

Pepsodent brings five desired effects. It combats
the teeth's great enemies as nothing has done be
fore.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another multiples the
starch digestant in the saliva, to digest starch de
posts that cling. The saivas alkalinity is multi
piled also. Thai to n~eutralize the acids which cause
tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film. One of
them keeps teeth so highly polished that film can
not easily adhere. Every application repeats these
results.
Send DE coupon for the To-Day Tube. Note how
clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence
of the yiscoGs film. See how teeth whiten as the
f1m-coats disappear.
What you see and feel will be a revelation and
the book we send will explain how each effect IS
natural and necessary. 1t is important that you
know this. Cut out the coupon now

proved by years of careful tests. Now nil
lions employ them. Leading dentists every
where advise them.
The methods are combined in a dentifrice
called Pepsodent. And, to let all know how
much it means, a ten-day tube is being sent
to all who ask.
, 1921-06-06

You should try this new method of teeth
cleaning. Try it ten days without cost. 1t
combats the film which dims the teeth and
causes most tooth troubles.
See and feel the results; To millions they
are bringing cleaner, safer. whittier teeth.

reads:

General Henderson, commandant of
the Marine Corps, deliberately went up to the
piece and placed his body against the muzzle,
thereby preventing it from being aimed at the
marines just at the moment when it was about
to be discharged. He addressed the rioters,
saying: Men, you had better think twice be-
