The Breath

THE BREATH

A sweet breath from a clean mouth—that is the ideal. Indigestion is in the main responsible for an offensive breath or a coated tongue. Dietary care and regular visits to the dentist should prevent a "baited" breath from developing. No washes
can entirely hide an offensive breath. It betrays itself at the most inauspicious times. It slays the delight of a lover's kiss with its miasmic exhalation.
Powdered charcoal is a good antiseptic, so is a weak Listerine solution. Or, drink half a glass of water in which five drops of tincture of myrrh have been dissolved. If bad breath proceeds from a sour stomach, a spoonful of ordinary baking soda
in water, sipped at intervals, will help. In addition are all the little mint and peppermint tablets, "Life-Savers," etc., and the breath sweeteners. But these
are palliatives. Good health of the stomach and cleanliness of the mouth are the real cure.
