You've got to think of two things
not just one, but two in decid
ing what dentifrice you shall use
and shall let your children use: ef
ficiency and wholesomeness.
Efficiency to-day covers more
points of value than it used to, for
as the science of dentistry has ad
vanced it has shown reasons for a
necessary increase in the number of
things a dentifrice should do.
That a dentifrice will scrub the
teeth clean by mechanical action or
abrasion is far from being sufficient
to make it a good article. It must
have this quality and at the same
time not be so harsh in its action as
to injure the tooth surfaces.
For this reason we recommend
the exclusive use of either SAN ITOL
Tooth Powder or SAN ITOL Tooth
Paste. Their base is the highest
grade of chalk of sufficient density
to serve as an effective abradent but
not dense enough to injure the
enamel. There is no pumice stone,
cuttle fish bone or gritty matter in
these preparations. Nor is this all
that is necessary to a good denti
frice. Your dentifrice must have anti
septic properties ycour dentifrice
must contain something that will
destroy germ life in the mouth and
by so doing not only retard tooth
decay but also, for the general
health of the user, keep the mouth
sweet and pure and clean.

"Today and every day"
On the other hand these antisep
tic properties must not be produced
by chemicals or drugs that will in
jure the teeth, gums, lining of the
mouth or Btomacli. The ideal denti
frice in this direction is SAN ITOL
Tooth Powder or SAN1TOL Tooth
Paste both of these preparations
are thoroughly antiseptic and harm
lessly so.
The next important point is that
the dentifrice should be one that
neutralizes acidity of the mouth.
An acid mouth not only encourages
(term life but it also increases tooth
decay, is bad for the gums and
enamel of the teeth and. because it
acidifies the saliva which plays an
important part in digestion, is bad
for stomach and digestion.
But and ponder this well an
acid mouth would be less harmful
than some of the chemicals and
drugs used in some dentifrices to
neutralize acidity. Especially be
ware of these dentifrices that con
tain certain powerful chemicals and
drugs, if you value the biggest asset
you have good health. They prob
ably do neutralize acid mouth, but
if your constitution is not only vigor
ous but fortified so as to resist and
throw off poisons that are prone to
lurk in the system, they may cause
f bad effect on the stomach and
kidnoys. As one cannot brush his
teeth without swallowing each time
some of the saliva containing the
dentifrice, you can easily under
stand that the swallowing of a
powerful chemical or drug, even in
minute doses, every time you brush
your teeth, cannot help but disturb
the health of the user. Why not
be absolutely safe, then, and use
SAN1TOL Tooth Powder or SAN J.
TOL Tooth Paste, both of which
perfectly neutralize mouth acidity
and yet are guaranteed to con
tain no dangerous chemicals or
drogs?
Is your dentifrice a pure white, or
is it colored? '
Any colored dentifrice is artifi
cially colored. This' artificial color
usually in the dentifrice does not
add to the efficacy of the product.
It is there to make the dentifrice
look good, or for the purpose of dis
guising one or more of the ingredi
ents on account of their character

you expect to ensure the whiteness

Remember all these facts in select

And as those delicate ivory plants,
