Where Science Found the Way 

 to Heal Tender, Spongy Gums 



Soft, spongy or receding gums that are 

 tender and bleed easily are the symptoms 

 which indicate Pyorrhea — one of the most 

 universal mouth ailments. 



Pyorrhea (Riggs Disease) destroys the 

 gum tissues and attacks the bony sockets 

 which hold the teeth. They loosen and 

 eventually fall out. The pus-producing bac- 

 teria from pyorrhea-affected gums often 

 undermine the general health. 



In 1908 the Pyorrhocide Clinic — the first 

 and only institution devoted exclusively to 

 the study of pyorrhea — was established. 

 Dental specialists and scientific investigators, 

 associated with the clinic, devoted their 

 energies solely to studying the causes and 

 effects of pyorrhea, to develop a scientific 

 treatment, and to find means of prevention. 



Years of research and clinical tests demon- 

 strated that the one most effective medium 



for home use in the treatment and preven- 

 tion of pyorrhea is Pyorrhocide Powder. As 

 a result of the Clinic's discoveries and 

 method which have been given to the entire 

 dental profession, Pyorrhocide Powder to- 

 day is prescribed by thousands of leading 

 dentists for preventing, as well as for cor- 

 recting an unhealthy condition of the gums. 



Unlike dentifrices which are simply the 

 product of a chemist's laboratory, Pyor- 

 rhocide Powder was scientifically developed 

 after years of research. It is not merely a 

 cleanser and polisher of the highest effi- 

 ciency — it is a repairer of broken down and 

 diseased gum tissues. It tends to make soft, 

 spongy gums firm and hard ; it checks re- 

 ceding and heals bleeding gums; retards 

 tartar formation — the principal cause of 

 painful gums and pyorrhea. 



If you have any symptoms of pyorrhea, do 

 not delay the use of Pyorrhocide Powder. 



Pyorrhocide Powder is quick and certain in its action. 

 We would like to send you, without charge, a sample of 

 Pyorrhocide Powder to try. Use it. Note how cool and 

 soothed your gums feel — and how long that feeling lasts. 

 This sample will give you an idea of what the regular 

 use of Pyorrhocide Powder will accomplish. 



Pyorrhocide Powder is economical because a dollar 

 package contains six months' supply. For sale by 

 all dental supply houses and good drug stores.
