You Are Welcome 



To This Ten-Day Test 



All Slalements Approved by High Dental Authorities 



See What it Does 

 for Your Teeth 



This is to urge a ten-day 

 test of a new, scientific tooth 

 cleaner. 



You have found, no doubt, 

 that brushed teeth still dis- 

 color and decay. The methods 

 you use are inadequate. There 

 is now a better way. 



The cause of most tooth 

 troubles is a film. It is ever- 

 present, ever- forming. You can 

 feel it with your tongue. 



That film is what discolors 

 — not the teeth. It is the basis 

 of 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. 



That film is clinging. It 

 gets into crevices and stays. 



So, despite your brushing, it 

 may do a ceaseless damage. 

 Teeth are safer, whiter and 

 cleaner if that film is absent. 



Science Now Combats It 



Dental science, after years 

 of searching, has found a way 

 to combat film. Years of care- 

 ful tests under able author- 

 ities have amply proved its 

 efficiency. Now leading den- 

 tists all over America are urg- 

 ing its adoption. It is now 

 used daily on millions of 

 teeth. 



This film combatant is em- 

 bodied in a dentifrice called 

 Pepsodent. And a 10-Day 

 Tube is offered to every home 

 for testing. 



Pepsodent is based on pep- 

 sin, the digestant of albumin. 

 The film is albuminous mat- 

 ter. The object of Pepsodent 

 is to dissolve it, then to day 

 by day combat it. 



For long this method 

 seemed impossible. Pepsin 

 must be activated, and the 

 usual agent is an acid harm- 

 ful to the teeth. But science 

 has discovered a harmless 

 activating method. And that 

 discovery opens a new teeth- 

 cleaning era. 



The results are quickly ap- 

 parent. A ten-day test is con- 

 vincing. We urge you to 

 make it at our cost and learn 

 what clean teeth mean. Lest 

 you forget, cut out the coupon

 are supplied with large tubes. 



Look in Ten Days 



Make this ten-day test. 

 Note how clean teeth feel 

 after using. Mark the ab- 

 sence of the slimy film. See 

 how teeth whiten as the 

 fixed film disappears. In ten 

 days let your own teeth tell 

 you what is best.

The trees are still vigorous and produc- 

 ing crops of qualify fruit. In fact buy- 

 ers l)i(l higher for the fruit from this 

 orch;\ril on account of its bright color 

 and good size, as compared with other 

 fruit in the district. 



Fruit from this orchard won prizes 

 at the Paris exposition in 1900 as well 

 as at innumerable local exhibits. 



In thirty years which I can vouch 

 for, the only trees lost from the or- 

 chard were: Two struck by lightning; 

 about two acres of fall apples which 

 succumbed to San .lose scale before it 

 was well understood, the trees being 

 about thirty-five years old at the time; 

 five acres of Northern Spy planted on 

 uncongenial soil, and some of the older 

 plantings which outgrew their allotted 

 forty feet of space were thinned out 

 to stand eighty feet each way. The or- 

 chard still bears well, in 1916 bearing 

 3000 barrels of apples, the average crop 

 being 1000 to 1500 barrels. 



In my estimation that orchard is liv- 

 ing proof of long-lived, disease resist- 

 ant, crop producing native stock, and I 

 hope to see the day when imported 

 stocks will be the exception rather 

 than the rule. Certainly it is here to 

 be developed. All we need is a fevy 

 years time and a few hard headed n'en 

 to develop it.
