WOMEN'S GREATEST MISFORTUNE.
The old saying that “distance lends enchantment" was never more aptly to the point than when applied to those people whose breath is laden with evil smelling 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, ber charmi is gone and she is as a diag 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 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 any other affiction: People do not realise their breaths are bad because they are like those who are constantly employed among paints and 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, and a costed Tongue,. slight Headache, and feverishness are the sure signs that the digestive organs are retaining quantities of impurities from which the tem should be free, thereby causing the Breath to become charged with the "foul odour. In Dr. Morses Indian Root 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 channels. They get at the cause as n01 other remedy does. They get at the the foundation of the complaint.. They give you clean bowels, a healthy stomach, a lively liver, and blood that is rich and red. They are safe, sure and reliable remedy, and will prevent many of the complaints” so common if taken once or twice a week to keep the system in a healthy condition. They are purely vegetable, and their action is not accompanied by any nauscous or griping sensation, butis mild and gentle.
For a complaints arising from Imperfect Digestion and Impure Blood these Pills pre unaxcolle. They are a Perfect Blood Purifer a positive and permanent quee for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation. Headaches, Sallow Complexían, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles.
