Care OF the Teeth.

Care OF the Teeth.
The mouth is not only the most expressive
and characteristic, but it is also the most i'm
portant Ut all the features. No other part
OF the human body is of such complex
structure, and no other has so many functions
to perform. The preservation of the health
OF the mouth is essentia al to the general health
OF the whole body. Disease of the BODY in
wolves an unhealthy condition of the mouth,
and is shown by the changes in the tongue,
lips, etc. On the other hand, an unhealthy
condition Of the mouth and teeth will act on
the general health of the body. The breath
| is made offensive by decayed teeth, and can
not be wholesome when inhaled into such
delicate structures as the lungs; moreover,
1t exercises bad influence upon the blood,
which depends in great measure for its quail
ity, upon the purity of the air supplied to
the lungs. 1t is also very bad to take the Of
fensive matters into the stomach with the
saliva or food The value of a good set of
teeth is not to be estimated, if only the ser
vice of masticating the food be considered,
and, when to this consideration we add their
importance in assisting vocalization, and in
maintaining the natural symmetry of the
features. it would seem to be duty, that
erery one should take proper care of his
teeth. Matters of much less Importance to
personal appearance and comfort, and of
| smaller moment to health and life, are made
the subjects of study and care: while the
| amount of information possessed by the pub
lie in this direction is rery small. Many
otherwise intelligent people are sadly def
cient in proper comprehension of this sub
ject. No other organs of the body entail
more serious results from neglect, than the
teeth. Some may ask. "What DO you mean
by proper care of the teeth?" 1t is this
first, a visit to the dentist; have the teeth
thoroughly cleansed to insure a healthy con-
dition of the gums. Second, have all cavi-
ties filed, not only to save the teeth, but to
keep the mouth in proper condition to receive
the food for mastication. Thirdly, keep the
mouth clean.
