For scientists lave discovered a new harmless treatment which dissolves tecth stains i stantly, giving even the dullest teeth charming new whiteness and lustre, This new treatment is called Bleachodent Comblnation — consists of a marvelous liquid which curdles or loosens the staining substances on the feeth—and a new kind of paste which gently removes the softened stains, and if use@l daily, prevents the for- mdtion of new stalns. Bleachodent Com- bination cannot affect the enamel in any way as it acts only on surface stains, not | on enamel itself.
