Out of simple curiosity we put this question up to ia carefully selected list of dentists 1000 of them and in a letter asked them the following: Do you ever use Listerine, in self-defense, in the mouth of a patient troubled with halitosis, unpleasant breath? Please answer if you use it this way (l) Frequently, (2) Occasionally, or (3) Never. Four hundred and forty replied as follows: 83 said "Frequently" 15 said "Occasionally" Only 2 said "Never."
