It will always be well to remember that of all the duties which we owe to ourselves for health and comfort's Sake, the proper care of the teeth is one of the most important. One should realise—and recent investigations have proved it again and again—that the condition of the teeth has far more influence upon our „ general wellbeing than most of us y \ suppose. t e c t i o n Ejj - Tt* * ■ * 1 of the t -•*. 1 teeth, V” v ijs J however, can only be considered as sufficient when the tooth-destroying substances which are the causes of fermentation and decomposition, and which renew themselves in the mouth daily, are also daily destroyed. As everyone must acknowledge after a little reflection, a special care is needed to keep the mouth free from these harmful substances. To a certain extent the tooth-brush will be useful for the removal of the impurities from the teeth, but only to a certain extent, as with the brush the surface alone of the teeth can be reached. But as the injurious bacteria are located everywhere —in the mucous membrane of the mouth and especially in the corners and folds where the brush cannot reach —one must use besides the tooth-brush, the liquid and antiseptic dentifrice Odol, which penetrates.into the most hidden places of the mouth and destroys all harmful bacteria. It is in its unique properties that Odol especially excels all other mouth- . cleansing preparations. After the mouth has been rinsed with Odol its active antiseptic principle spreads itself with all-pervading effect over the entire oral cavity, the microscopically minute antiseptic element maintaining its influence for hours. It is this lasting effect, this precious and transcendent quality which no other dentifrice or mouthwash possesses, that gives to daily users of Odol the absolute assurance that their mouths are permanently protected against the processes of fermentation and decomposition, which, if not guarded against, inevitably destroy the teeth.
