DANGEEOUS FOES 01? OUE HEALTH UNVEILED. Most people tire ignorant that tlio destruction of the teeth is principally clue to the action of microscopically small organisms (named bacteria) in the mouth. It is to be regretted, that this fact, so extraordinarily important to health is not generally realised. The family doctor should explain to his patients, the teacher to his pupils, and the parents to their children thatcaremust he continually bestowed upon the mouth so that these microscopic creatures may not effect their work of destruction.

The teeth are of superlative importance in the preservation of health, so that it }s one of the first duties of life to know how tbo teeth may he preserved. The teeth must he cleaned morning and evening with the antiseptic liquid dentifrice Odol, so that the microscopic organism may not be able to develop. Odol is the first and only preparation for cleansing the: mouth and teeth which exercises its antiseptic and refreshinfJJ powers not only during the few moments of application hut continuously for some hours afterwards. Odol, as has been scientifically proved, penetrates the interstices of the teeth and the mucous membrane of the mouth, to a certain extent impregnating them and thus securing a safeguard and preservative for the teath such as no other dentifrice can provide, not even approximately.
