statement has appeared in print that gum
chewing is hurtful to the eyes. The specialists
In eye troubles who were asked about it by New
York Sun reporter all expressed tue greatest sur
prise that such statement could have been
made.
''What is more" said the physician in charge
OF the New York Ophthalnic and Aural Intirni-
airy in 18th street, g" do not see how the action OF
the jaws could affect the eyes in any possible
way. The optic nerves are wholly removed from
those governing maotication. Neither set OF
you had asked me whether gum chewing hurt the
ears instead OF the eyes, I could at least have
found way by which some connection could be
established between the cause and the alleged
effect, for In chewing, the muscles or the jaws
constantly move the ear carttlages, as indeed you
can can see lot yourself But no deleterious effect

chewing gum are felt by the digestion only II
the habit is carried to an excess SO much saliva

to impair DIGESTION because action OF the jaws in
duces action OF the Salivary glands. Again, much
chewing may result in weakening the salivary
glands SO that they will not secrete sufficient
saliva during meals to properly mOsten the food
indigestion are apt to follow. But gum chewing is
not so dreadful habit as II is painted. Its evils
are grossly exaggerated by those who consider
the nabit TO be nl-bred and vulgar. Women do
Infinitely more harm to their stOmacns with
pickles, ices, and hot drinks, and by eating be.
tween meals, than by chewing gum. There are
few who keep up the habit for any great length
OF time, and occasional excess Is atOned for by
nothing more dreadful than a possible attack OF
Indigestion. There are cases where moderate gum
chewing Is positively healthfu In fact hysicians
sometimes prescribe IL. Boiling ones food you
know, Is the besetting national weakness. Bolted
food goes into the stomach without the necessary
saliva, which can only be had by working the
jaws, and II is all excellent thing TO chew DIT OF
haniess gum after the meal, and In that way in
