and ten o'clock, at the door of a grocer
in the Rue de Normandie. They we're
both laughing immoderately, and talk

Academy, December, ls49, q paper
Was read by Dr.. H. J. Bowdi'ch, on the
animal and vegetable parasites Infest-

snt aReats in causing their removal and
destruction. Microscopionl examina-
tons had been made OF the matter de-
posted on tho teeth and guuas Of more
than forty individuals, selected from all
glasses of society, IN every variety Of
bodily condition. and in nearly every
case animal and vegetable parasites in
great nuabers have bexn dhcovered.-

three or four species, md Of the vegc.
table one or two. In Fact the only per-
sons whose mouths were found TO be
completely tree from them cleansed
their teeth four times daily, using soap
once. One or two Of these individuals
also passed a thread between the teeth
to cleanse them more.cffectually. nall
cases the number oi the parasites was
greater in proportion 10 the neglect OF
cleanliness. The effect Of the applica-
ton OF various agents was also noticed.
Tobacco juice and smoke did not i'm
pair their vitality in the least The
same vas a.so true Of the chlorine

ammonia, and vnrious other popular de-
tergents. The application ofsonP, how
ever, appeared 10 destroy them Instant
ly. We may hence infer that this is
the best and most pr,per specific for
cleansing the teeth. In all cases here
IL has been tried, il receives unquali-
fed eomnendation. II may also be
proper to add, that none but the purcst
white soap free from oil d,scoIorations,
should be used.
