Watch Your Gums
Bleeding Is the Sign
of Trouble
Medical science knows how serious is the sign of bleeding gums,
for it knows that tender and bleeding gums are the forerunner
of PYORRHEA, that dread disease which afflicts FOUR out
of every FIVE people over forty.
I the disease is unchecked, the gum line recedes, the teeth
decay, loosen and full out, or must be extracted to rid the
system and wreck your health ; these poisons often causo
rheumatism, nervous disorders, anaemia and other ills.
TO AVOID PYORRHEA
the best treatment for any disease is to prevent it. Free con
sultation and advice.
