If| Present, Use Dental Science’s New-Found Corrective. Look in your mirror. Focus our eye right on your teeth. {s the enamel a gleaming white, or is it obscured by a dismal yellowish tinge? Of course, you don’t want teeth of a’yellowish hue— because that color is unbe- coming, positively repellent. Nor can your teeth be free of it until you change your present dentifrice. Here are simple, convincing facts. That “yellow mask” is caused by a “liquid cement” in your saliva. It glues to your teeth ~—then hardens. Tobacco, food and coffee stain this hardening mask an unlovely yellow. Ordinary dentifrices fail to remove it—because they lack the cneessential sub- night. Lack of appropriations by Congress in the past, Mr. Hubbard said meant that only a third of the s L | needing repairs have received them. | The average age of all resurfaced Washington streets is 28 years, a period greater than in any other city, he d.

That substance is “Tri-Calcium Phosphage.” This is a ma- terial smoothandfine as face powder that foremost den- tists use to clean teeth. But dental science has just suc- ceeded in embodying this marvelous cleaning sub- stance in a pleasant, tasty tooth paste. Therefore, only now has it become pdssible for you to remove that unsightly ellow mask” and gain teeth beauty that fairly dazzles in its whiteness.. The name of this remarkable den- tifrice is ORPHOS TOOTH PASTE. Try it! Banish that un- welcome “yellow mask.” Regain that glistening, lusirous white- ness that nature first bestowed on you.
