q TO THE TEETH.-Dr. H. l. Bowditch and
other scientific gentlemen OF Boston, have, by the
of powerful Microscope, discovered that the
TEETH of every individual are surrounded by nume-
rous animal and vegetable ParositeS. These conclu-
sions are based upon examination OF matter deposit
ted upon the teeth and gums OF more than forty ndi-
vduals, selected from all classes of society, and in
every variety OF bodily condition. and none were found
free from them, except two or three who had been in
the habit OF using SOAP as dentifrice. Experiments
tried upon them with all the popular detergents
such Orris, Charcoal, pulv Bark, Tooth Wash, So
d. &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 propersspecific Tor cleansing the
Teeth. ..-
In view of the above important discovery, and With
the encouragement and patronage OF most sc len
tfic men, have been experimenting tor long time,

OF the most important articles used in Deurice,

still more efiectual in cleansing the Teeth The high

purposes The Soap Denirce is the only proper spe-
cc for freeing the mouth from those disgusting mpu
rites which rapidly promote puracon and destroy the
Teeth. -
