You, yourself, rarely know

insidious thing about it. And
even your closest friends
won't tell you.
Sometimes, of course hal
itosis comes from some deep
seated organic disorder that
requires professional advice.
But usually-and fortunately
-halitosis is only local con-
dition that yields to the reg
ular use of Listerine as a
mouth wash and gargle. 1t
puts you on the safe and pO-
lite side. Moreover, in using
Listerine to combat halitOsis,
YOU are sure to avoid sore

Listerine halts food fermen-

leaves the breath sweet, fresh
