BREATH

The eld saying that "distance lends Enchantment" was never more aptly to the point than when applied to those people whose breath is laden with evilsmelling and offensive odours. Many persons appear most attractive at a distance, but produce a feeling of pity and disgust when close to, because of the condition of their breath. For instance, it makes little difference how beautiful a woman may be, or how charming her manner, if her breath is foul; her charm is gone, and she is at a disadvantage whenever she comes dn contact with other people. Joul fcreath in woman arouses in man a feeing of repugnance and a desire to get out of the company of such a woman aa quickly as possible; and evon women will avoid her. It is, therefore, important for every woman who values her personal attraction to take such care of herself that this unpleasant and unnecessary complaint is avoided or corrected. Men, women and children who are troubled with this complaint will drive their friends away more rapidly than with any other affliction. , People do not realise their breaths are bad, because they are like those who are constantly employed .amongst paints »nd varnishes—they get used to what is to others a most offensive smell. In nearly all cases this condition is due to Constipation and a Disordered Stomach. A Coated Tongue, a Slight Headache, and Feverishness are sure signs that the digestive organs are retaining quantities of impufitiea from which the system should be free, thereby causing the breath to become charged with th* foul odour. In Dr. Morse’s Indian Soot Pills there will be found a. searching, cleansing remedy, which will drive the masses of decaying corruption—that poison the blood and contaminate the breath —from the system through the regular channel
