Flobiline! — Fop. the Teeth and Breath— A few drops of the liquid •"Floriline" sprinbl^J on a wet tooth brush produce a pleasant lather, which -thoroughly cleanses the teeth fro - n all parasites and impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly whiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes rII unpleasant odour arising from decayed 'teeth j or tobacco smoke. " The Fragrant Floriline," being composed in part of honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discevery of the age. Price 2s Gd of all chemists and perfumers.
