Most cleanly people use them daily. Yet statistics show that decay and pyorrhea have constantly increased. Those methods have failed. Teeth still dis color, still decay, despite the daily brushing. Tartar still accumulates. Pyorrhea, in some degree, is almost universal. Every little while one must visit a dentist for a vigorous dental cleaning. . Now it is known that the trouble lies in a clinging' film. In that slimy film which you feel with your tongue. That film is what discolors. It hardens into tartar. It holds food particles which ferment and form acid. It holds that acid in contact with the teeth-T-the cause of all decay. That film is albuminous, so it forms an ideal breeding place for germs. Millions of germs of all sorts are ever-present irj it. These germs, together with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Through the in flamed gums the germs enter the veins. Now it is known that many serious diseases are due to this mouth infection. Thus most tooth troubles, and the troubles they lead to, are caused by this 61m oa teeth. You cannot avert them by brushing teeth by any old-time method. That film resists the tooth brush. It eets into crevices and stays. ; With any soapy dentifrice, the alkali in it help to make the film more dense more resistant to the brush. : v But science now has supplied a way to combat that film.' The waf is called Pepsodent-a dainty film digestant. And this offer is made to let a one week test show you its effects. For the sake of clean, safe, glistening teeth, we urge you to accept it. So activated pepsin can now be applied to this film. And it means the end of that film, as experience with Pepsodent proves. For three years this product has been sub jected to thousands of clinical tests. Many able authorities have watched the results. Those tests have proved that Pepsodent solves the problem of that film. And it does that in a dainty, pleasant way. Now we offer a One-Week tube so that anyone can prove it.
