Description: | During the late 19th century, many chemists and entrepreneurs made their own toothpastes. There were many varieties and competition was fierce, so advertising on leaflets such as this one was a way of ensuring that as many people as possible recognised your product.
This American advertisement features an endorsement from JA Watling, a professor of clinical surgery in the Dental College at the Michigan State University: "GENTLEMEN - I am satisfied from a careful examination of your Myrrh Tooth Soap, that it contains nothing injurious of the Teeth." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Medicine And Healthcare Science And Technology Hygiene Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Calvert Lith Co | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
