him the fruit the day before asked him
II he would like some more.
Nay, my friend, thou hast deceived

The Teeth.

All acid foods. drinks. medicines and
tooth. washes and powders, are very in.
furious to the tooth. If a tooth is put
in cider, vinegar, lemon.juiee, or ,ar,aric
acid. in few hours the enamel will be
completely destroyed. SO that it can be
removed bv the finger nail as If it were
chalk. Most have experienced what is
commonly called teeth set on edge. The
explanation of it is the acid of the fruit
that had been eaten has so softened the
enamel of the tooth, that the least pres.
sure is felt by the exceedingly small ner-
YES which pervade the thin membrane
which connects the enamel and the bonv
par, Of the teeth. Such an effect can
not be produced wilhou; injuring the en-
amel. True. ii will become hard again,
when the acid has been removed by the
fluids of the mouth, just as an egg shell
that has been soflened in this way, be-
comes hard again by being put in the
water. When the effect of sour fruit
on The teeth subsidies, they feel as well
as ever, but they are not as well: And
the oftener it is repeated, the sooner the
the disastrous consequences are mani
tested.
