THERE IS DANGER IN
NEGLECTING THE TEETH
Without perfect teeth or*> can not
enjoy perfect health. Many dangerous
diseases can be traced to decayed or
faulty teeth. The food can not be
properly masticated, germs develop and
are carried directly into the system
through the stomach.
Do not take chances. Have yotur teeth
put in perfect repair. You’ll look bet
ter, feet better and live longer.
The fear of the usual torture in the
dentist's chair causes many people to
procrastinate; but that Is no longer
necessary.
