C.—Adv. Is Safe Can you afford to risk your teeth and your health when the odds are four to one against you? That is what you are doing unless you take proper precautions against Pyorrhea. \ Dental statistics show that four people out of every five contract Pyorrhea after they pass the age of forty. Thousands younger also suffer. Neglect Pyorrhea and it attacks the teeth below the gums —loosening them in their sockets until they fall outor must be pulled; forming pus pockets at the roots. In these pus pockets disease germs breed and multiply, poisoning the entire system. Pyorrhea starts with tender gums which bleed easily when brushed. That is the first stage. 7 Do not neglect this warning. See your dentist at once, and start using Forhan’s For the Gums. Forh.an's is the formula of R. J. Forhan, D.D.S. Used consistently, and used in time, it will prevent Pyorrhea or | check its course. Use Forhan’s twice a day when you brush your teeth. It is the only dentifrice you need. It wards off Pyorrhea and keeps the teeth and mouth clean and healthy. _ Remember, four out of five contract Pyor- rhea because they wait too long. your teeth. Buy a tube of Forhan’s For the Gums at your druggist’s and 60c. Formala of R. J. Forhas. D. D. S.
