Address F. A. Stuart Company, 2U0 i Marshall, Mich. There are many thousands of people who are the unfortunate possessors of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has its origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh, or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth, and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession, they frequently feel constrained to remain oil to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disagreeable it must be to others with whom they coma in contact. For it is an undeniable fact that people will comment on, and criticise the person whose breath foul and offensive.

Very frequently we hear the comment, "So-and-so is a most agreeable companion; an interesting talker, with a large fund of information: is well-nostpd nn world history and the biographies of many 'cplehritipa run rent topics; is an accomplished musician and literateur; and would a most desirable addition to any social gathering, except for the de'plor-able fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive, that persons of refinement, good breeding and delicate sensibilities do not care to come into contact with them." And very naturally, too. for an obnoxious breath taints the very atmosphere, and affects the persons surrounding the affected one in a way which is positively nauseating.
