Are you reducing tooth decay with Amadent, Ammoniated Toothpaste? Well, answer the man George! Cross-gracy, I use Amadent twice a day! You can smile when you say that! Yes, it's the Amadent Show, transcribed in Hollywood and starring George Burns and Gracie Allen with yours truly Bill Goodwin, the Benadyrid Halmarch, Marvin Miller, Wally Mayer, Harry Lubin and the Amadent Orchestra.
