Make a habit of gargling with full-strength Listerine twice a day. It helps to fight infection and at the same time puts your breath beyond reproach. Lambert Pharmacal Co Toronto, Canada. Wouldn't you like to feel that youve got a chance of heading off colds entirely or cutting down their number! Wouldn't you like to feel that even if you do catch cold it may prove slight instead of serious? If so, vve say to you: Make a habit of gargling twice a day with full-strength Listerine, the safe antiseptic. Its preventive action, while not infallible, produces results.

Tests on 204 people show that those who used Lisrerine twice a day contracted only one-half as many colds and often one-third as many as those who did not gargle with it at all. And that even hen colds were contracted they Listed only one-third as long and were one-fourth as severe as colds contracted by non-garglers. Such results are due to Listerines ability to immediately kill germs uitl t-out harming the delicate tissues of the mouth The fact that Listerincs action Choose Mouth Washes Carefully Some watered Others dangerous Of 203 mouth washes submitted to laboratory examination, 94 were non-antiseptic, 107 could not kill germ In 3 minutes, 1 43 could not kill In one minute, other were so harsh they were dangerous to tissue, dozens had no deodorant effect hatever.
