The Teeth.


A writer in Harper's Monthly for
June says
kosseau said that no woman with
hne teeth could be ugly. ANY fe>
male mouth, almost, with "a good set
OF worries is kissabIe. The too early
loss of the first teeth has an unfayor.
able influence upon the beauty and
duration of the second. The Young
est should accordingly be made 10
take care OF them. All that is nee
essary, is to brush them several times
day with little ordinary soap or
magnesia water. Grown people
should clean their teeth at least FIVE
times in the course of the twentys
four hours, on rising in the morning.
and going to bed at night, and after
each meal. A brush as hard as can
be borne without pain should be
used, and the best of all applications
is pure soap and water, always luke
warm.
After eating, the particles of food
should be carefully removed from
the teeth: by means of toothpick of
quill or wood, but never of metal,
and by thread passed now and then
between the teeth. Tooth powders
of all kinds are injurious both to the
enamel and gums, and if employed
every particle of them should be re-
moved from the mouth by careful
rinsing. The habit which some wo~
men have Of using bit of lemon,
though it may whiten the teeth, and
give temporary firmness and color to
the gums, is fatal to the enamel, as
are all acids.
No one, young or old, should turn
their jaws into nut-crackers and it
is dangerous .ven for women to
bite off, as they very often do, the
ends of the thread in sewing, 1t is
not safe TO bring very hot food or
drink, especially, if Immediately fol-
lowed by anything cold, in contact
with teeth.
Wholesome gums are lore essen
tial, even, than the teeth to the beau
ty of the mouth. They should be of
firm texture, and a lively red col
or, and well spread over the base of
each tooth but they are often pale or
livid shrunken fieshless, and some
times even liberated. The excessive
use of sugar and candies does great
mischief tits not only the bad eff,
fects of the acids produced by their
decomposition, but the grittiness OF
the gum, wears the tooth, and spoils
the mouth This is the chief danger
Of the use Of tooth powders. 1ivid
gums will be benefited by occasional
hard rubbing, and pricking them
with a toothpick until they slightly
