Halls Journal of Health.

Halls journal OF Health.
Half the human race perishes before its
time, for the want of little knowledge OF
the rules that govern health. The begin
ming, the nuclei are few, from which raCi-
ates the host of diseases that affiict man
kind. 1t is Important, therefore, that every
one should know what mischief may come
from neglect of things, seemingly trivial.
As an example let us trace the possibilities
connected with that very painful,
but very common ailment, tooth-ache.
The intense pain caused either from an in
famed condition of the membrane that
lines the tooth socket, the tooth being
sound, or else from decay in the tooth it.
self, which has extended to the nerve In
either case we have Inflammation of the
membranes and nerves that are encased in
unyielding channels of bone; hence the Sc
we're pain, followed by death and decay of
the parts effected. While it would be as
rule unwise to resort to radical means to
cure the trouble during the infamma-
tory stage, it is positively unsafe to neg
lect those means when the pain and irrita-
ton is subsidized, for the truce is usually
but temporary. If the decay extends to
the surface of the tooth, the cavity forms
a sort of safety valve for the escape of the
dead matter, thus postponing Or prevent
ing more serious symptoms. But if the
teeth are apparently sound, and thsre is
neuralgia of the face, head, neck or should
ers, il is certain that the teeth are not
sound, and that an expert dentist will find
minute cavities extending from the crowns
of the fangs of some of the teeth, or else
Lucrative points at the extremities of the
fangs themselves. The remedy of course
is to properly fill every cavity, being
careful to make minute examination so
as to miss none. In all recent cases this
is radical cure. Should that course fail,
it is certain the disease has extended be-
yond the reach of that remedy, and how
ever sound appears the offending tooth, it
must be removed, and the removal of
teeth must continue until they are all
gone, or found necessary to check tho
neuralgia. There are, unfortunately, neg
lected cases where these methods are un-
awaiting, and where the surgeon follows
the disease to the cavities of the Jaws,
| saving through the bone and taking OFT
| the dead portion of the nerve; and still
there are depths beyond the reach of
human skill, where the sufferer writhes in
pain until death comes to his relief; for a
diseased tooth may be the beginning of
fatal nervous diseases, and of dyspepsia
and blood poisoning. We trust this ar
ticle will be carefully read, for it points
out the cause and remedy for a cless of
diseases that produce more intense suffer
ing in the world than all other diseases
combined.

Reautifying Our Homes.

During the last ten years there has
been reform in the matter of household
decoration. The heavy furniture, high
ly-colored carpets, heavy tapestries, and
the gaudy wall-papering, have given
place to household furnishing which is
artistic and harmonious. This reform
in the popular taste has affected both
palace and cottage, and there is an
eager desire in every quarter to con-
form to the best canons of taste in the
sdornment of our parlors, dining
rooms, and bed-chambers. One of the
best features of this reform is its rela-
tive inexpensiveness. Of course, it
costs a great deal to fit out a modern
house in such way as to please cul
tivated taste. But on a whole, artistic
furniture and ornamentation is cheaper
than was the sombre and inelegant
furniture of the past. For this reform
we are, in large measure, indebted to
astheticism, which has presistently
taught the doctrine that the ordinary
things used by mankind may as well be
handsome as ugly. A picture or cup,
or any table utensil, costs no more if
wrought artictically, than if made by
the most clumsy workmanship. Of
course there are some eXtravagances
connected with aesthetic reformation,
but these only help to attract attention
to the general subject of art and in con-
nection with the decoration of our
households. The aesthetic are now
criticising the dress of man with view
to its reform. They say the "stovepipe"
hat is an abomination; that the "swol-
low-tail" coat is a Renaissance of the
Darwinian theory of the origin of man;
that trousers should give way to
Knickerbockers, and that the male leg
should not disdain the light of open
day. It is notable circumstance, that
in outdoor sport, such as lawn-tennis,
foot and baseball playing, bicycling,
and so forth, the young men are adopt
ing the suggestions of the aesthetic
school. Demores"S MolIthly.
