Why millions of women today
demand Squibb's Dental Cream

WOMEN everywhere are demand
ing Squibb's Dental Cream because
they have found that it does more
than keep their teeth clean and
radiantly beautiful-because they
know it will help them keep their
teeth,
Because they know it will pro-
tect their teeth against Acid Decay
that powerful opening wedge of
the destructive forces that may
eventually cause Pyorrhea, loss of
teeth and all the ills that usually
follow in their train.
+Squibbs Dental Cream is made
with Squibb's Milk of Magnesia
because Milk of Magnesia neu-
tralizes the dangerous acids in the
mouth tnat attack the teeth and
irritate the gums.
These acids. which cause Acid
Decay and gum irritation, are
formed by the fermentation of
minute particles of food that lodge
in the tiny crevices of the teeth,
and especially in those crevices
along the line where the gums
meet the teeth-The Danger Line.
Your toothbrush cannot pos
sibly remove all these particles of
food, but the Squibb's Milk of
Magnesia in Squibb's Dental Cream
penetrates into every one of these
tiny crevices where it safely and
effectively neutralizes the acids
and protects the teeth and gums
for many hours.
Use Squibb's Dental Cream,
twice a day, for what it does.
Squibb's Dental Cream, through
it's sheer merit, in just a few short
years has swept the country. You
