What about your Teeth ?
Your physician will tell you that trie teeth are often the un
suspected cause of poor health. You clean your teeth of course
but are you sure you use a safe dentifrice?
Colgate's Ribbon Dentil Cream is both thorough and pleasant
and it is safe. It contains no risky drugs to do possible harm
by trying to "cure"' abnormal conditions. For "Good Teeth
