DISCOVERY RELATIVE

a. TO THE TEETH-Dr H. |. Bowditch and
other scientific gentlemen OF Boston, have, by the use
OF powerful Microscope, discovered that the
TEETH Of every individual are surrounded by nume-
rous animal and vegetable Parosites. These conclu-
slons are based upon an examination CT matter deposit
ted upon the teeth and gums of more than forty ind
viduals, selected from all classes of society and in
every variety ofbodily condition, and none were found
tree from them, except two or three who had been in
the habit of using SOAP as dentifrice. Experiments
were tried upon them with all the popular detergents
such as Orrs, Charcoal, pulv. Bark, Tooth Wash, So
da, &c. &c which did not impair their vitality in the
least. The application of Soap, however, destroyed
them instantly. We may thence inter- that Soap is
the best and most propei.speciic for cleansing the
Teeth
In view of the above important discovery and with
the encouragement and patronage of most Of our SC len
tho men, have been experimenting for long time,
until have succeeded in combining with Soap, some
OF the most important articles used in Dentfrce so
to entirely destroy the taste OF Soap while renders it
still more efecual in cleansing the Teeth The high

Teeth.

Mr.. WATERS Il have submitted the Soap Denti-

find it remarkably free from impurities, and we'll adap-

been desderaum; the ordinary Soaps generally
contain mineral coorng ingredie tents, and such other
impurities render them unfit for cleansing the teeth.
