Ofte before the growth of the
secondet of teeth is commenced, g,
unsountess and decay of some kind
sets in, bing possible consequence
of a vari'y of causes among which
we recko, an improper use of med
icines, chonic degeneration of the
powers Ofthe stomach, and the use
of hot liq ids in the mouth. The
eating of sveetme,ts is also preju-
dicial.
The loss )f the teeth among young

tcrs necessary to health, entirely
passed by, in onr haste to git thro'

that we, who cannot find tine tc

find leisure to die. But to our sub.
ject:
The permanent teeth are devel
oped soon after the deciduous disap
pear, with the exception of the thirt
molar, which appears first in th'
lower and afterwards in the uppe
jaw, and between the ages of eigh
teen and thirty years most common
ly; with this exception, the secont
set are compile at about fifteen years
These teeth are generally formed
under the roots of the first set. II

becomes oSsified in a most curious
manner, and gradually grows thu

and the very iirmest of animal sub
stances. The teeth being develop
ed, and of primary Importance t.
the individual, should receive atten
tion. Particular care should be takel
in washing them after every meal
they need the brush, and usual,
some mild dentilricc. They shoul'
not be exposed to sudden change
of heat and cold NOTHING acit
shonld be allowed to come in con
tact with them. Particular attcn
tion should be paid to the state o
the stomach, and we should alway
remember that our mouths nee'
washing, or at least, as much and a
often as our palatcs from which W
eat. Soft tooth-picks of willow, o
pine are the best, and pins are dele
terious. Hot tea and coffee are pc
haps as injurious as any articles il
