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 it her breath is foul, her charm is gone and she is at a dis advantage when ever she comes in contact with other people. Foul breath in women arouses in man a feeling of repugnance and a desire to get out of the company of such a woman as quickly as possible, and even women will avoid her. It is therefore important for every woman who values her personalattraction 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 pidly than any other affliction.
