To SALERArUs EATERS. At late conven-
ton of dentists, it was asserted that the main
if not the sole cause of the great increase of
defective teeth was the use of saleratus and
cream Of tartar i'm the manufacture of bread ;
and DIR Baker fully agreed with the facts
offered in proof, adding the results Of some ex
periments made by himself He soaked sound
teeth in solution Of saIeratus, and they were
destroyed in fourteen days. We have the
opinion Of men whose talents, time and zeal
are given to dentistry, that saieratus and
cream VI tartar in bread chief cause OF
ruin to teeth. Now will those who know this
fact go on eating ali that comes in their way,
without inquiring what it is made of!-Ne~

SPUNKY LADIES.-A case came on for hear

the one side exhibited a persistent and syste-

TROUBLES OF FAT WOMAN AT SEA-A cor
pulent lady on her way to California, writes
back to one of her acquaintances, her expert
ence in travelling. Here is an extract:
" Our cabin has two boxes in it called berths,
though cofhns would be nearer the thing, for
you to think more of your latter end at sea
great deal. One Of these is situated over the
other like two shelves, and these together
make what they call state-room My berth
Is the uppermOst one, and have to climb up
10 II, putting one foot on the lower one, and
the other away out ON the wash stand which
In great stretch, and makes it very difficult
then lift up one knee On the berth, and roll
into 1t sideways This is very incOnvenient
Tor woman OF my size, and very dangerous
Last night put nay foot on Mrs. Browns face,
as she lay asleep close to the edge Of the lower
one. and nearly put out her eye, and | have
torn all the skin of my knees, and then have
a large black spot where l have been hurt, and
my head is sweiled To dismount is another
feat Of horsemansbip only fit for a sailor. You
can't set up for the floor over head; so have to
turn round and roll your legs out first and
then hold on till You touch bottom somewhere,
and then let yourself down upright 1t is
dreadful work; / don't know which is the
hardest to get III or out OF a berth-both are
the most difficult things in the world, and
shall be glad when am done with it, | am
Obliged to dress in bed before leave it, and
nobody knows, who hasn' t tried to put on their
clothes lying down, can tell what task it is
l.acing stays behind your back, and you on
yonr face, nearly smOthered with your bed
clothes, feeling tor the eyelet hole with one
hand and trying to put the tag in with the
other, while you are rolling about from side to
side, Is no laughing matter.
Yesterday fastened on the pillow to my
hustle, by mistake, in the hurry and never
knew it till the people laughed, and said the
sea agreed with me, had grown so fat; but
putting on stockings is the worst, for there
ain t room to stOOp forward, So you have to
bring your foot to you, and, stretching out your
back, lift up your leg till you can reach it, and
then drag it on. Corpulent people can al
ways do this easy, can tell you. 1t always
gives me the cramp, and takes away my
breath. You will pity me if you can conceive,
but you can't; nobody but woman can tell
what a woman suffers in a berth at sea-"
