It forms a fragrant, soothing film of protection that guards your daintiness. For, this amazing talcum N has a special protective quality - it prevents excess perspiration. And here's a startling test that proves it. Tomorrow morning, cover your body with Mavis Talcum ... then, make the "undies" test at night. When you undress, examine your undies carefully. You'll be amazed to find that they are practically as sweet and fresh as when you put them on in the morning. Think what this means to your peace of mind - the freshness of your undies proves that all day long you've been safe from giving offense.

JANE: "Kline was a plain case of gums that practically never work -I eat so many soft f oods. Believe me, I've been using 1 pana with massage ever since. It's made a world of dif- ference in the looks of my teeth and smile!'' ANN: "You make good sense, darling. Guess there's just one thing to do -find out what Dr. Bowen tells me..." Don't let "Pink Tooth Brush" ruin your smile HEN you see "pink tooth brush" see your dentist. You may not be in for serious trouble, but let him decide. Usually, he'll tell you that yours is merely another case of neglected gums. Because so many modern foods are creamy and soft, they fail to give our gums the exercise they need. That's why so many dentists today advise "the healthful stimulation of Ipana with massage." For Ipana, with massage, is especially de- signed to help the gums as well as clean the teeth. Each time you brush your teeth, mas- sage a little extra Ipana into your gums. As circulation increases within the gum tissues, gums tend to become firmer, healthier. Play safe! Change today to Ipana and massage. Help your dentist help you to sounder gums- brighter teeth -a lovelier smile! * DOUBLE DUTY- Perfected with the aid cf over 1,000 dentists, Rubberset's Double Duty Tooth Brush is especially designed to make gum massage easy and more effective.
