kERPlss THE TEETH CLEAx. -MicroSccp;cal
examinations had been made 5f the matter
deposited on the teeth and gums OF more than
tofty individuals selected from all classes Of
society," in every variety o. bodily condition;
and IN nearly every case animal and vegetable
parasites in great numbers had been discover
ed. or the animal parasites there were
three or four species, and Of the vegetable,
one or two. In fact the only persons whose
mouths were found to be completely free from
them, cleansed their teeth four times daily,
using soap once. One or two of these indi.
vifuals also passed thread between the teeth
to cleanse them more effectually. In all ca
Ses the number of the parasites was greater
IN proportion to the neglect OF cleanliness.
The eject, of the application OF various agents
was also noticed, Tobacco juice and smoke
olu notlmpalr their vitality in the least. The
same was also true ofthe chlorine tooth wash,
oil pulVerized bark, of soda, ammonia, and
various other popular detergents The appIi-
callon OF soap, however, appeared TO destroy
them instantly. We may hence infer that
this is the best ard most proper specific for
cleansing the teeth. In all cases where it
has been tried, 1t receives unqualified com
mendatlon. 1t may also be proper to add,
that none but the white soap Tree from all dis
