Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How 6
Woman May Try to Make Them.

Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
Woman May Try to Make Them.
1t does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be, if she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pftied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make a point of asking a
friend in whom she may conf1de,
man friend or relative. If he be hon
est he will tell her that foul breath
from the mouth of a woman will drive
men from her more rapidly than any
other personal affection.
Foul breath arouses in man dis
gust and where this quality is brought
into play no amount of self-denial or
reasoning can overcome the natural
repugnance which comes to man
when he is in company with such a
What is true of bad breath
in woman is not true in so
great a degree in men. Women are
looked upon as the incarnation of
sweetness, breeding, virtue and re-
fnement. Foul breath will sicken a
man so that he cannot feel for such a
woman a companionship necessary to
make him desire to be in her COM
pany.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach,
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affection
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous qualities all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms of bad breath.
A single box will convince you of this
fact One should eat some of these
lozengeS after each meal and upon re-
firing. You might eat fifty of them
without harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
~ to II
and compressed into lozenge to pre-
serve their peculiar and lasting
strength.
The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several
of Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges and
your breath will be pure and sweet.
Every druggist carries them, price
9 cents, or send US your name and
address and we will send you trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.

No other medicine has been SO
successful in relieving the suffering
OF women or received so many gen.
u1ne testimonials as has Lydia E.
PInkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any daymav
see the files containing over one mil.
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health. and
here are the letters In which thew
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
The feminine organism, restoring it
TO healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
TO restore their health.
