Brisk makes teeth stronger
Brisk's fiuoride has repeatedly proved
its amazing ability to strengthen tooth
enamel. Concentrates in weak or soft
spots where decay usually starts. Actu-
ally combines with and becomes part of
the tooth itself and thus defends against
cavities as no other kind of decay fighter
ever could! Daily brushing with Brisk
builds stronger, sounder, more decay
free teeth. Keeps breath fresh!

Of the many types of fiuoride, Brisk's

widely used and approved by medical,
dental and public health authorities
And only Brisk has it in its most effec-

looked as though the Authority

steps taken by the Authority
since last February to bring
about the approval by the Pub

In presenting a check for
$2,556, reimbursement for money
advanced by the city for early
expenditures of the Authority,
Mr.. Smigel said "The genuine,
humanitarian encouragement of
the Rockville Mayor and Coup-

the contrasting narrowly-based,
reluctant support offered by the

The chairman said that he was
referring to the cooperation
