Van @mp’s CLEAN-EASY AND WHITE NAPTHA SOAPS Made by Van Camp Products Co., Indianapolis FREE A 10-Day Tube The Great Mistake That millions are correcting They combat that dingy film on teeth This is to invite a test, whose results will amaze and delight you. Old methods of teeth cleaning involved some great mistakes. As a result, even well- brushed teeth discolored and decayed. Few escaped tooth troubles, and beautiful teeth were seen less often than now. Those faults are now corrected. Millions of people have entered a new dental era. We urge you to learn what they know. That clinging film to your teeth, enters crevices and stays. Food stains, etc., discolor it, then it forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film., That's why teeth lose luster. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause de- cay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus most tooth troubles are due to film which old ways left on teeth. | For Colds, ! Influenza and as a Proeventive found two ways to fight film. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, and without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved those methods by many careful tests. Then a new-type tooth paste was created, based on modern re- search. Those two great film destroyers were embodied in it. That tooth paste is called Pepsodent. Now careful people of some 50 nations employ it, largely by dental advice. New effects Pepsodent brings other results now known to be essential. It multi- plies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch de- posits which may otherwise ferment ad form acids. Take B 2 He signs his name on the back of another piece of paper and it becomes an endorsed note— good for money. He writes a letter and it becomes a binding contract. The adding of the name makes these things solemn and legal obligations. The man who signs is responsible. For beauty’s sake Pepsodent brings new beauty. Film-coated teeth are made to shine like pearls. Look about you. Note how many teeth now glisten—teeth which once were dim. Note how people smile to show them. But those prettier teeth mean cleaner, safer teeth as well. They mean new protection, which everybody needs.
