Among all the toilet preparations that sciencehas conferred on us, few have met at first in-troduction with the immediate and flatteringsuccess which has attended the first offering of Borodont. the new tooth paste just intro-duced by the Troy Pharmacal Co. of San Fran-cisco. This elegant dentrifice is made by rein-forcing the Milk of Magnesia with Carbonateof Magnesia and a small amount of PrecipitatedChalk, adding to them Menthol and aromaticantiseptic oils. The alkaline base neutralizesthe acidity which often develops where cariousconditions exist, the anaesthetic action of men-thol and oil of cloves allays pain and their anti-septic action in conjunction with the neutraliz-ing and cleansing action of magnesia destroysall foreign matter. The preparation we believeIs scientifically correct, is put up in very chasteand attractive form and will meet with the ap-proval of the most fastidious.

context_page_description: Stevens Arms was an American firearms manufacturer founded by Joshua Stevens in 1864 in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The company introduced the .22 Long Rifle round and made a number of rifle, shotgun, and target pistol designs. By 1902, they were advertising themselves as "the largest producers of sporting arms in the world". They were purchased by New England Westinghouse on May 28, 1915, and again by Savage Arms on April 1, 1920. As a division of Savage, Stevens continued to produce firearms at their Chicopee Falls facility until 1960 when the plant was torn down and Stevens production was moved into other Savage facilities. Savage dropped the Stevens name in 1991, but revived it in 1999 and still uses it today for a number of its low cost rifles and shotguns.
context_section_description: In 1880, the company began making falling block rifles. These, though less well known than Ballard or Winchester firearms, were of comparable quality.  They were priced lower than those of Ballard or Winchester, making the Stevens' falling block models competitive in the marketplace.  Under names like Favorite, Little Scout, Crack Shot, and Marksman, Stevens sold millions of reliable single-shots.  The total number of single-shot firearms manufactured by the company exceeded 3.5 million by 1892.
  Stevens, under the ownership of New England Westinghouse, produced over 770,000 Mosin-Nagant rifles under contract with the Russian government between 1916-1917, of which 225,260 were delivered. The rest were sold to the American government to arm the American Expeditionary Forces, White Russian forces, Finland, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
  The 416 had a dramatically oversized bull barrel and a large wooden stock.  The heavy barrel design added a great deal of weight which compared unfavorably with larger rifles such as the military's various .30 caliber offerings.  It had adjustable peep sight apertures, a hooded front sight, and a small, removable magazine.
  During World War II, Savage used Stevens' facilities to produce several military firearms including the Savage Lee–Enfield No. 4 rifle, the Thompson submachine gun, the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), and the Browning M1919 and M2 machineguns.
  Stevens introduced the Model 87 in 1938, which sold over one million units.  Further units were sold as the Savage Model 6 by Sears.
