 Perfect Teeth
An Essay by JAMES WA1IEN

4 WOMAN who, when she laughs, reveals a fash "A of Aawlcss teeth has good cause for merriment. 4 -A Perfect teeth should be przed worked for and never for careless halliday neglected, Nothing less than ORpHos the greatest improvement in dent- frces since tooth powder gave way to paste, should be used on fine teeth
 ORpHos should be employed at bedtime to remove tartar in its first soft sticky condition before it hard ems into a cora-lke formation that, like growth of cactus creeps under the gums to lacerae and infect tissue. Tartar soidiEes during slumber.
 Perfect teeth should be brushed with ORpHos again in the morning for the delicious sense of being mouth perfect, and to continue the good work of removing stain,
 Be gracious to your teeth by being generous with ORpHos-ple the brush high!
