It is twice as soft as polishing materials in common use. Teeth are given higher polish, brighter luster—FILM stains disappear completely HE Pepsodent Laboratories announce a new dis- covery. A revolutionary discovery contained in Pepsodent Toothpaste for more than six months. Your dentist will tell you Pepsodent’s policy has always been to improve constantly — no “fixed for- mula” to hamper progress. Research laboratories have a habit, in this modern age, of quickly obsoleting prior ideas. As new dental advances have come, Pepsodent has been the first to meet them. Now once more Pepsodent advances. This time through a notable new discovery that possesses three exclusive virtues: 1. The new cleansing and polishing material in Pepsodent stands unequalled in removing stained, destructive FILM. : 2. The new texture is invisibly fine. As a result it imparts a higher polish to enamel—a brilliant glaze or luster. ’ r 3. The new material is safe—this is most important of all. Safe because it's soft— yes, twice as soft—as polishing materials in common use. Having made this new discovery we faced an equally great problem. How to combine it in our present for- mula without altering appearance or sacrificing the famous flavor that has made Pepsodent so long pre- ferred by millions. We mastered this. In zasze and in looks it is still the Pepsodent you have always known. In results and safety it is new—brand new. Keeps teeth cleaner—safely Pepsodent’s new cleansing and polishing material brings a, change in teeth’s appearance within a few days’ time. Newly discovered, it is different, totally different, from any now in use. These facts are interesting: this discovery followed 7 years of research . . . 3 tons of raw materials were used in laboratory tests . . . we held a competition from among the ablest minds in chemistry . . . new equip- ment had to be invented, then erected . . . the process is a carefully guarded secret.

A seem- ingly hopeless task that has been the goal of every toothpaste manufacturer for the last decade. Pepsodent has solved it! Pepsodent—special FILM-removing toothpaste Removing FILM is, and always will be, Pepsodent’s chief duty. Today’s Pepsodent performs that duty better than any toothpaste ever has before. FILM is that slippery coating on your teeth. It gathers germs that cause decay. It glues them tightly to enamet. FILM absorbs the stains from food and smoking and makes teeth unattractive. Removing FILM is important for beauty and for health. Get a'tube of Pepsodent today. Note how smooth and creamy.
