Pepsodent n1uldplies the aka
Unity of the saliva, to neutralize
those acids as they form.
Those are Natures great tooth
protecting forces. Each use of
Pepsodent, in a natural way, gives
them manifold effect.
Why people enjoy it
The removal of film and starch
deposits makes the mouth feel
clean. The natural alkalinity
created gives the teeth an added
protection.
Used at bedtime, it creates
agents to fight film and starch

Now Prettier Teeth
Have come to milions-you see them every day

Another result is gistening teeth-teeth you envy,
maybe. You see them everywhere Teeth which once
were dim and dngy shine like pearls. Film removal
reveals the natural luster.
Then Pepsodent gives the teeth high polish, in a
gentle but effective way It does this without scratch
ing. With that high polish flncoats cannot easily
adhere. Every woman owes herself these benefits to
beauty. So do men.
Other vital effects
Pepsodent brings two other effects which are al
most as important They are also based on modern
research. It conbats the starch deposits which cling
to teeth and gum them. When the starch ferments it
forms acids. Pepsodent multplies the starch diges-
tant in the saliva which Nature has put there to digest
those deposits
It combats mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay

and acids That gives new feeling of safety. AZ
teeth grow whittier they assume beauty which film
coated teeth don't have.
To children it brings new protection. Dentists
advise Pepsodent from the time the first tooth ap-
pears. That to combat the lasting damage which few
children have escaped.
Men who smoke should combat the film before
tobacco stains it. Thus they keep teeth white.
These results involve no extra effort Simply brush

Vow Cleaner Teeth
Careful people the world over now enjoy them

Clearly this condition had to be corrected So den-
tai investigators made long research for daily film
cornbatant.
Two effective ways
Some years ago two effective ways were found
Able authorities proved them by many careful tests
Dentists began to employ them.
A new-type tooth paste was created, based on mod
ern requirements. These two film combatants were
embodied in it. The of that tooth paste is Pep
sodent. Now leading dentists almost the world over
are urging its daily use And careful people every
where have come to adopt it, largely through their
advice.

This is to urge that delightful

This war on film began five years ago. Leading
dentists everywhere gave their cooperation. In many
languages, people urged to clean teeth in new
way. And ten-day test was offered to every home

About ten million homes made that test. The re-
