They Save Teeth Now in a New Way All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities They End the Film Countless people are now cleaning their teeth in a new way. And modern dentists all over America are urging other people to join them. The old ways proved inefficient. As millions know, they failed to prevent tooth troubles. Despite the tooth brush, tartar, decay and pyorrhea constantly became more common. Some years ago the reason was discovered. It lies in a film-a slimy film-which constantly forms on teeth. That film gets into crevices, hardens and stays. It resists the tooth brush, and most tooth troubles are now known to be due to it. . The film is what discolors, not the teeth! It hardens into tartar. It holds food sub stance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. And many troubles besides tooth troubles are traced to this germ-breeding film. After years of research, a way has been I found to combat it. Able authorities have proved this fact by adequate clinical tests. For general use the method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we supply a One-Week Tube to all who ask, so the millions may quickly know it. Let It Convince You The Pepsodent results are quickly apparent. After a few days' use you will never forget them. The basis is pepsin, the digestant of albumin; for the film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve the film, then to constantly prevent its accumulation. But pepsin must be activated. The ordinary agent is an acid, harmful to the teeth. For long that fact made pepsin seem impossible. Now modern science has discovered a harmless, activating method. Five governments already have granted patents. It is that method which makes possible this efficient application. Four years have been spent by dentists in proving the value of this product. Now we urge all people to prove it by a home test. Send the coupon for a One-Week Tube. Use it like any tooth paste. Note how . clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the film. See how teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears. All this means that the film which wrecks teeth can now be effectively combated. And you will never cease to do that when you see what it means to you. Cut out the Free coupon now. One-Week Tube Free THE PEPSODENT CO. Dept. 279, 1104 S.
