SAVE YOUR TEETH.

Some Valuable Suggestions That Ara
Welt Worth Trying.
What should q man use to clean
his tecthp' asked reporter. Of a we'll
known dentist recently.
Nothing but water. There are
more good teeth ruined by so-called
dentifrices than by all other causes in
the world put together. Tho object OF
the makers of these dentifriccs Is. OF
course. to produce preparation that
will. with very little rubbing OF The
brush. make the teeth look perfectly
clean and white. To accomplish this
they put pumice stone, and sometimes
strong a!kalies. in their preparations
Pumice stone will unquestionably take
all the enamel with it. An alkali will
make yellow tooth look white In q
few seconds. hut before week has
passed it will have eaten away nearly
all the enamel and utterly destroyed
the tooth.
'In walking along the street you
often see fakir,' by way Of adver-
Using his patent dentifrices, call a
small boy from the crowd near by. and
| opening the boys mouth, rub the
dentifrice on his dirty teeth, and in a
minute almost takes off all the tartar
and makes the teeth look perfectly
pure and white. Now, a man like that
fakir ought to be arrested, for he has
forever destroyed the boys teeth. His
preparation, composed of powerful
alkali. is eating away the enamel Of
the boys teeth. and In a few months
the boy will not have sound tooth in
his head. The dentifrices, composed
chiefly Of pumice stone. are not as bad
as those containing an alkali. because
they will not destroy the teeth SO
quickly; but, II used habitually, they
will certainly destroy them in tho end.
should advise any man by all means
to use no dentifrice Of any descrip.
ton, unless 1t be prepared chalk. i
this is used not oftener than once
week it will not injure the teeth,
and may help to cleanse them,
but it should on no account be used
every day. Orrls root does the teetl
no harm and gives a pleasant odor Il
the breath. and If all our dentifrices
were composed simply OF orris roo
and prepared chalk they would b.
harmless enough. If not beneficial
4 my own plan is to use moderate
" hard brush and plenty Of colo
water and nothing else, and my teetl
are in excellent condition. II peopl,
would only pick their teeth CAREFUL,
after each meal, making sure that no
the slightest particle of food remains
near the gums or between the teeth
and would. also, before retiring a
night, run piece Of soft thrcat
through their teeth. they would no
have any necessity for aentifrice
! OF course, sweetmeats and candle
are bad for tho teeth; so Is smoking
or taking very hot or cold drinks; but
bad as all these undoubtedly are,
really think the worst enemy the tool
has is the so-called dentifrico. TAX
, the advice of dentist and never us;
any thing for your teeth but brrs
and good cold water. IN y Mal
