'OU know what happens to a plant if the flow of sap is stopped—it withers, dies and rots away. That is just what happens to your gums when they are denied the normal supply of héalthy blood. Without natural stimulation and proper blood circulation your gums become pale, soft, tender—then puffy, and red—then they bleed freely when brushed, and Pyor- rhea or other mouth diseases set in, with all their attendant ills. Dentists say “Use GUM RUB” At last, dental science has ‘dis- covered a new and amazingly sim- ple way to keep gums alive, firm and healthy. Itis calleld GUM RUB —the discovery of -Dr. Clyde M. Gearhart. GUM RUB is not a DentaL LasoraToRY Probucrs Co. tooth paste, powder or mouth wash, but a delightful preparation, applied in a new way without the aid of a brush or apparatus of any kind. Ordinary tooth pastes, while good for the teeth, actually prevent the friction necessary to efficient gum massage. GUM RUB sets up the necessary friction immediately. Amagzing Results The startling thing about GUM RUB is the quick acting properties of the special ingredients it contains. -After one or two ap- plications, at home, you will at once notice the difference’ in your mouth. Not only your gums, but your entire mouth will have that unmistakable feeling of health and perfect cleanliness that GUM RUB alone produces.
