They Know


Those many people you meet
with glissening teeth do something
you should do.
You see them everywhere today.
They have gained new beauty and
new charm. But they have also
gained new cleanliness, new safety.
They use a new method of teeth
cleaning. Let this test show how
much it means to you
They combat the dingy film
You feel on teeth a viscous film.
That is what clouds teeth.
Under old-way brushing, much
OF that film remains. 1t becomes
discolored, then forms dingy coats,
to make the teeth unsightiy and
unclesn-
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. 1t
holds the acid IN contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it. They. with tar
tar, arc the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Such troubles became almost
universal, due to attacks caused by
film.
