Beauty is not OUTSIDE; it comes from the INSIDE of things. “CLEANLINESS, HEALTH and BEAUTY are insepar- able, they go hand in hand. You can be neither CLEAN, nor HEALTHY nor BEAU- TIFUL if you have missing or decaying teeth, for there is no greater uncleanliness than the bacterial filth of an unsani- tary mouth. There is no greater health-wrecking factor than the diffused poisons of germ-infested teeth and gums. Germs thrive in wet, hot places, and the human mouth is their natural habitat; a perfect incubator, whence THEY and their horrible secretions spread to all parts of the body, to the dangér of the health and the detriment of beauty. KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLEAN is our hint to Beauty; but first have the dentist stop the gaps and fill the crevices that are a refuge for billions of deadly germs.
