Dr. Tichenor died at age 85 but his company is alive and well, delivering toothpaste, mouthwash and catchy slogans such as:

• Reduce harmful emissions. Gargle. Wence, Repeat.

• Why fight bad breath when you can kick the crap out of it.

In January 2012, the company got $1.1 million from the Solomon Group for their building at 819 Girod, where they first got started selling half a billion bottles of mouthwash.

Dr. Tichenor was wounded in battle in 1863 and against doctor's advice to amputate his leg, he left the hospital and developed his antiseptic formula.
