Something to think about, isn’t it? ‘There are two things you can do: play the long shot and pay the probable penalty, or set about in a sensible manner to insure your teeth. * - Pyorrhea has cost many an individual his teeth and health. It starts with tender, bleeding gums. That is the danger signal you should be quick to heed. Ignore it and Pyorrhea does jts deadly work in a hurry. ‘The gums recede, the teeth loosen and drop out or must be pulled. Pus pockets form at the roots of the teeth and disease germs swarm throughout the system. ‘You must not let Pyorrhea gain headway in your mouth. At the firft warning, see your dentist and start using Forhan’s For the Guffs at once. Forhan’s For the Gums is the formula of R. J. Forhan, D.D.S. If used consistently and used in time it will pre- vent Pyorrhea or check its course. H Don’'t wait a day longer. Stop at your druggist’s at once, buy a tube of Forhan’s and start using it today. Brush your teeth with Forhan’s regularly. It is an excellent dentifrice and will keep your teeth and mouth in perfect health. Four out of five wait too long. Don’t be one of them. 35c and 60c at all druggists. Formsla of R. J. Forkas, D. D. S.
