p FILM GLUES ACID TO YOUR TEETH ! Tooth decay is caused by the acid that film holds against your teeth. This acid is formed by the action of mouth bacteria on many foods you eat. PEPSODENT REMOVES FILM! HELPS STOP DECAY! When you use film-removing Pepsodent Tooth Paste right after eating, it helps keep acid from forming. It also removes the dulling stains and "bad breath” germs that collect in film. FILM NEVER LETS UP! Film is forming on everyone’s teeth day and night. Don’t neglect it. Don’t let decay start in your mouth. Always brush with film-removing Pepsodent right after eating and before retiring. No other tooth paste can duplicate Pepsodent’s film-removing * formula. No other tooth paste contains Irium* or Pepsodent’s gentle polishing agent. Use Pepsodent every day — see your dentist twice a year. YOU’LL HAVE BRIGHTER TEETH AND CLEANER BREATH when you fight tooth decay with film-removing Pepsodent! (Continued from page 4) to make yourself miserable.
