To see how really clean teeth shine Your teeth are coated with a film. WHen fresh the film is viscous you can feel it with your tongue. Later it forms a cloudy coat. It enters crevices and stays. It dims the teeth, sand now we know that it causes most tooth troubles. There is now a way to end it Write us today and we will send you a 10-Day Tube. Get it and see what it does for ' your teeth. Learn 'what film removal means. Old ways don't end it Old ways of brushing do not end film. Millions of people know that. Teeth dis color and decay despite the daily care. The reason lies in film. It clings and hides, and very few escape its damage. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor rhea. All these troubles have been con stantly increasing some have grown alarming. And all because we knew no way to daily, fight the film. A new dental era v Dental science has for years studied to combat film! Ways have now been found to do it. Able authorities have proved those methods by many careful tests. Now., leading dentists everywhere are urging their dairy use. These 'methods have been combined in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. Millions of people have come to employ it You can see the results wherever you look in glistening teeth, In teeth you envy, maybe. A new dental era has begun, due to these discoveries. And these are benefits everyone should share. So you are urged to let this 10-Day Tube show what Pep sodent can do. v Brings five effects Pepsodent brings five distinct effects. All are apparent some are qutk. A few days' use will leave no doubt about them. And a little book will tell you what each one means to you. One ingredient is pepsin. Another mul tiplies, the starch digestant innhe saliva to digest starch deposits that cling. The alkalinity of the saliva is multiplied at once. This is to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Two ..factors directly attack the film. One of them keeps teeth so highly pol ished that film cannot easily adhere. Every application brings the Pepsodent effects. Together they mean tooth pro tection like you never had before. Watch these effects Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the ab sence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the film-coat disappears. Compare your teeth now ' with your teeth in ten days. Then judge this new day method by what you see and feel and ..' : Men who smoke will tee a quick, conspicuous change Tobacco stains the film-cost on the teeth. So men who smoka will see a great chant quickly. Bat millions of teeth hivt that same film-cost with t lesser staln' f Children's teeth are most affected t7 the film. Young teeth seem most sub ject to decay. Dentists advise that Pepsodent be daily applied from the time the first tooth appears. Other wise, decay is almost certain. Pepsodent brings to women whiter, prettier teeth. But that means cleaner teeth and safer. The luster comes from constant film rem oral and the high poliih given to the teeth. fttcus.
