Even his wife 
wouldn’t tell him 
O F COURSE, she loved him 
—loved him dearly and 
looked to his future just as am¬ 
bitiously as he did. There was 
nothing she wouldn’t have done 
for him. 
But they were both sensitive 
young people and this subject 
seemed to be one she could not 
bring herself to discuss. 
The position he held, with a 
firm of excellent standing, had 
promised much. Yet he did not 
seem to progress as he should 
have—as they had hoped. Other 
men constantly stepped ahead of 
him into the better positions. He 
seemed to be giving satisfaction, 
yet he was standing still. 
The thing that held him back 
was in itself, perhaps, a little 
thing. But one of those little 
things that rest so heavily in the 
balance when personalities are 
being weighed and measured for 
the bigger responsibilities of 
business. 
A big, little thing that even 
his wife never mustered cour¬ 
age enough to mention! 
* * * 
Halitosis (the medical term for 
unpleasant breath) never won a 
man promotion in the business world 
—and never will. Some men suc¬ 
ceed in spite of it. But usually it 
holds them back. And the pathos of 
it is that the person sutfering from 
halitosis is usually unaware of it 
himself. Even his closest friends 
don’t want to mention it to him. 
Sometimes, of course, halitosis 
arises from some deep-rooted organ¬ 
ic disorder; then professional help is 
required. But usually—and fortu¬ 
nately—it \vill yield to the regular 
use of Listerine as a mouth-wash 
and gargle. 
Listerine, recognized for half a 
century as the safest antiseptic, 
possesses properties that quickly meet 
and defeat halitosis. It halts food 
fermentation in the mouth, and leaves 
the breath sweet, fresh and clean. 
Its systematic use this way puts 
you on the safe and polite side. Then 
you need not be disturbed with the 
thought of whether or not your 
breath is just right. You know it is. 
Your druggist will supply you. He 
sells lots of Listerine. It has dozens 
of different uses as an antiseptic.
