Send the coupon below. These Shining Teeth Yeu see today this is the usual reason Nete hew many pretty teeth you see now adays. Teeth that glisten as they never did before. Millions new use this new way of teeth cleaning. Every day they combat the film, the coat that makes teeth dingy. When you see and envy the effects, why net resolve te try them? Film dims the teeth That viscous coat you feel en teeth is film. Jt clings te teeth, enters crevices and stayt The old ways of brushing did net effec tively combat it. Se the film-coats were per sistent And most teeth troubles have been traced te them. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth leek dingy. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds feed substance which ferments and ferm3 acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth te cause decay. It breeds millions of germs, and they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. All these troubles have been constantly increas ing, because brushing has failed te end film. Twe effective ways Dental research has long been seeking ways te daily fight that film. Twe ways have new been found. Able authorities have proved them by many careful tests. New leading dentists, nearly all the world ever, are advising their adoption. A new-day dentifrice has been evolved called Pepsedent It complies with modern requirements and avoids past mistakes. These two film-combating methods are em bodied in it With Pepsedent, yen can fight that film at home fight it daily and effectively. And these white teeth you everywhere see show hew many people de rt Other requirements Modern dental science makes ether re quirements. The average diet is rich in starch and sugar. Starch gums the teeth, gets between the teeth, and in fermenting it forms acids. Te digest that starch en teeth, Nature puts a starch digestant in the saliva. Te neutral ize the acids, she puts alkalis in the saliva. But both need frequent stimulation, which modern diet often fails te give. Se authorities new desire the teeth paste te apply that stimulation. Pepsedent multi plies the starch digestant in the saliva. It multiplies the alkalinity. Thus it increases markedly these natural protective agents. Thus Pepsedent brings five desired effects. Nene of them come from old methods. To gether they are bringing a new dental era. De This Twice Daily Remove the film. Combat the hidden film. Give the teeth high luster. Digest the starch deposits by multiplying the starch digestant in the saliva. Neutralize mouth acids by multi plying the alkalinity of the saliva. Just film removal When you visit your dentist he applies vigorous cleaning largely te remove the film. Remember hew white your teeth leek, hew clean they feel after that The new purpose is te fight that film daily. Te maintain that whiteness and that clean liness. Otherwise, there are often months when that film may de damage. Try this new method. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Nete the results you sea and feeL Read the reasons for them in our book.
