OF all the people who clean their
teeth regularly, it is certain that a
very large proportion only do so once
a day, and that generally at the time
OF their morning ablutions. A much
smaller number also do so at retiring,

practice of regularly brushing thoil
teeth after eating, the most important
time of all, is indeed very small. II
