Causes of the Decay of Teeth.


"What causes the decay of teeth p is
question more often asked dentist than
any other. Very few are SO unsatisfacto-
rily answered. This question, the correct
answer to which can alone furnish the ba-
sis of dental practice, usually receives
far less thorough examination than many
which, in comparison with it, are of but
little importance.
We generally answer that it is the chem
ical action of acids, dissolving the lime
which constitutes most of the solid sub
stances of their composition. True, SO
far. Defective organization and bad health
are undoubtedly the immediate causes OF
the trouble. But the causes Of these are
what we are to inquire for. In general,
we answer, they are violations of the cela-
tionships and harmonies Of our natures.
For all practical purposes carries of the
teeth may be said to be caused by the
chemical union of an acid with the alkali
which is the lime of the tooth. The acids
of fruits, the eructation of an acid Stom-
ach, the different mineral acids used as
tonics, the secretions Of an inhamed mu-
Gus membrane, and the acids of the saliva
(whcn from any of the different causes it
becomes such) each and all are fruitful
causes of carries. But more to be dreaded
than all these combined, is the acid formed
by the decaying food left between the
teeth. / often wonder that teeth last as
long as they do, standing, as it were,
among decomposition, with decays
filled with food, increasing that destruct-
i've agent which is constantly arising from
the fermentation and decomposition of
such food and in short once perfect and
good denture is destroyed The best
thing that know of for those who wish
to preserve their teeth to good old age,
is to 60 to some thorough dentist aud have
the defective ones attended to. Use anti
acids for acidity, and take into the system
such materials as contain large amount
of phosphate and carbonate of lime.s And
above all things, keep the teeth perfectly
clean. In this way you will save many
of the painful affections of the face and
teeth called " tic douloureux' Most peo-
pie would be highly indignant if told that
they do not know how to brush their teeth.
1t is really surprising how little attention
is paid to this matter. Parents give their
children stiff tooth brush, not fit to be
used in any mouth, and tell them to
brush their teeth, without word as to
how it is to be done; and they, dear inno-
cents, finding that the stiff bristles scratch
their tender gums, brush gingerly over
the ends of the teeth for moment, then
run off to get the stick of candy which
pays them for this laborious effort If
the teeth should decay after all this outlay
of time and candy. it must, of course, be
an affecting dispensation of Divine Provi-
dence. D. w. A., d. D. S.

ew- The reconstruction cases pending
in the u S. Supreme Court, are not like
ly, according to Washington dispatches, to
amount to much. The elections have sub
stantially settled them. A Washington
special says that from Mississippi will
probably be acted on first The special
law under which it originated having been
repealed since it was begun, the first ques-
ton to be settled is whether the Court
now has the jurisdiction, as Sharkey con-
tends. Should the case, after argument,
go against him, that would finish the mat
ter. If it should, however, decide in his
favor on this point, there would still re-
main the question whether the Court
has jurisdiction under the act itself. The
Georgia case is IL a worse position even
than the Mississippi case. The applica
tion for an injunction, as filed by Jenkins,
is against Grant, Meade, and Ruger, its
cornerstone being-first, that Ruger was
then acting as Military Governor under
the reconstruction acts but since the
last term of the court Ruger has given up
the office, the people of Georgia have
elected Governor in accordance with
these acts, and have consented to them by
also electing Congressman, and voting for
Presidential Electors. 1t is believed that
the court will, under the circumstances,
find some way to get rid of this case at
least without wasting more time on it

The change in the English Ministry,
says an exchange, by which the avowed
friends of Liberal Government, and, to
a certain extent, the admirers of the Uni.
ted States, are brought into power, is not
without great interest to the civilized
world. 1t is an earnest of two things
First, that the power of the British Crown
will be welded more than ever before in
the interest and for the benefit of the PEG.
pie, rather than the aristocracy; and. Sec
ond, that the relations of Great Britain
and the United States as the representa-
tives of freedom in the government of
mankind, will be, or ought to be, closer
than ever before. Undoubtedly, to the
men now taking the reins into their hands,
we can look with more confidence for the
removal of the difficulties which stand in
the way of perfect international amity,
than to the men who have just retired.
They were our friends and defenders in
the day of our trouble, and but for them
and their influence, the great contest that
we waged might have had far other results
than those at last attained. They are not
interested in checking our growth, nor in
comprising our humiliation and it is not
probable that they can deny US ample rep
aration for the injuries that we have suf-
fered. We shall see how they will justify
the hopes and expectations Of the two
leading nations of the world

" Good Lord! Good Devil !"

If it were only certain who the COM
ing man" for United States Senator for
Wisconsin IS; if one could look six weeks
and two days into the future and see who
the lucky man will be, it would be easy
to tell who to support 1t is very nice to
be on the winning side-so nice that a
number of our exchanges fail to take ei-
Their side, for fear, as might be inferred,
that it will not win. Their position re-
minds us of the fix of the sailor in a
storm, who prayed: "Good Lord, save
me p GOOD devil, help me p &c. In
explanation he said he was not quite GER
tain into whose hands he might fall, and
wished to be on good terms with both par
ties. The Berlin Courant, paper that
generally has opinions of its own, is woe
fully unsettled as to " Who shall Succeed
Mr.. Doolittle ?" In its issue of the Sd
inst, it says: eff the members of the
Legislature, after cool and candid con-
sideration, conclude that Mr.. Carpenter
g is the best man for the position at the
"present time, and shall so VOTE for aught
that has been developed, we shall yet
"be content" 1t also speaks warmly of
Mr.. Washburne, respectfully of Governor
Fairchild, eloquently of Mr.. Rublee, rev.
erently Of Mr.. Waldo, and lovingly of Ex-
Governor Solomon, closing with this re.
markable paragraph:
4The State is not likely to suffer by reason of the
choice of either of the gentlemen named. All
good men and true. II, however, it left for
to say which of them shall be Senator, fear
should hesitate between Solomon and Rublee, like
mule without motive, midway between two stacks
of hay. III among them all the choice must fall out
side of those already named Senator Van Wyck of
Kenosha the peer of any of them is just likely to
carry of the prize as any other man, and perhaps
little more So"
Why not come out squarely for some
one, Mr.. Courant, lest the wicked should
say you are lying back from prudential
motives?
The Prairie du Chen Union is in the
same boat. On the 4th it had half-col-
umn article in which it spoke obviously of
drunken or impure men with the talents
of Gabriel % the shameful course of
Doolittle p" the warnings of history -
ETC., but says: I'VE shall indicate no
prefereace!" These are poor times not to
have an oginion and the fearlessness to
express it. Better support some good
man, even if he should not win.

SpEAKER.-The name of Ex-Speaker
Thompson is being used in some of our
exchanges for reelection as Speaker of the
next Assembly. Thomson was about as
near perfect success in that position as
any leader of that body since the State
organization. The reelection of Thomson
would mean business from the first to a
speedy Close Grant Go. Herald.
The above is but just compliment to
an able and popular officer, as can be
proved by any one who was at Madison
during the last session. Nominated by
reclamation in the most harmonious can
Gus ever held in the State, he proved a
frst-class Speaker, performing the duties
Of that important position with credit, and
to the entire satisfaction of his friends.
Without doubt he should and will be re-
elected.

For SPEAkER.-The Milwaukee ,Senti-
mel gives list of those suggested for the
place, and says" Geographically the
northeast part of the State seems to have
the strongest claims. We are inclined to
think that geographical considerations. " i'll
have little weight. The present indica-
tons are that the Senatorial question will
have more influence than anything else
over the disposition of the Speakership."
The Watertown Republican and the Fort
Atkinson Herald warmly commend Hon.
J. M. Bingham, of Palmyra, as the "com-
ing man. for speaker Of the next Assem-
bly,. The Burlington Standard and Kill
bourn Mirror declare for Hon. A. M.
Thompson, of GAINESVILLE. The Chippewa
Union presents the name of Hon. Thad. G.
