A Christmas-tide Suggestion 



[photographed expressly for sozodont.] 



$ ozocfonf 



Always suggests a smile and a 

 row of pretty teeth, for it makes 

 both possible. You cannot have 

 them perfect if you neglect to use 

 a perfect dentifrice. Sozodont is 

 that because it presents both the 

 liquid and the powder together and 

 is absolutely wholesome. 



Miss Studholme says: — "A smile is as good as a song, and a smile is 

 enhanced if the teeth are pretty, for pretty teeth are part of an actress's stock in 

 trade — and so is Sozodont, for it makes pretty teeth, as I can most heartily testify."
