The Breath.

Breath daintiness is an essential attribute of a charming woman.

A disagreeable breath means internal disorders or decaying teeth, diseased gums or trouble in the region of the throat or mouth.

Brush the teeth after every meal. Rinse the mouth with half a glass of water in which a pinch of carbonate of soda has been dissolved. An ordinary salt mouth wash is very cleansing too. If necessary, rinse the mouth two or three times a day, otherwise a precautionary once a day would suffice.

We often light-heartedly read the advertisements depicting the handicaps of those afflicted with disagreeable breath, but it never occurs to us that we could be a source of annoyance to our friends in that direction.

If the affliction is not cured by these simple measures, then a call on a doctor is absolutely necessary, in order to find out the root of the trouble. No one should look on this trouble as a minor affliction.
