Cousabats the film

This pew method combats film on teeth-that viseous film you feel. Under old methods, much of it cGngs and stays.
 That film becomes discolored, then forms dingy coats. That is why teeth lose their beauty.
 Film also holds food substance which fernaents and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor- rhea.
 Almost nobody escapes those film-caused troubles under old ways of tooth brushing.
