LETTER FROM DR.. FRAZIER.

DR.. S. II. Frazier will return to Leb.
anon Tuesday, May sth. OIL the after
noon train to begin work Wednesday
morning; and he will give to the child
ren over I and under ID years Of age
two days, Wednesday and Thursday,
work free Of charge. This Is done that
the children may be taught early the
necessity Of taking car Of their teeth
aud that the Q and l2 year molars,
which are permanent teeth and the
most servicable in the mouth may be
given attention and care and be pro-
tected from decay and final loss.
Parents commit sin when they neg
lect to care for these teeth In the
mouths Of their children. Many life
has been shortened 5. 10, and yes, 20
years by the decay and loss Of these
teeth. The loss Of these teeth renders
most impossible the masticatiou Of the
food, hence 1t goes to the stomach in a
condition unfavorable to digestion and
the result Is over taxation Of the stom-
ache, dyspepsia, sick headache etc.
Or If the teeth are left In the mouth to
ulcerate and decay, from which puss
issues to mix with the food in process
OF digestion, poisoning the food and
causing to ulcerate the walls and
mucous lining of the stomach. The
puss thus formed ut the roots of the
upper teeth finds various avenues of
escape, usually through the nerve canal
of the tooth, and through the gums
Ijust above the tooth manifestlng its.
in the form Of a sore or liberation Of
the gums and often, yes too often, the
puss will eat its way through the bone
and find an opening into the nasal
passage sometime tending backward
causing constant dripping into the
throat, at other times it tended for
ward and outward producing dis
charge of the nose, and in such cases
comes the complaint, II am almost
dying with the catarrah of the head
and throat" (" when 1t is nothing but
bad teeth. The afflicted are often
kept poor by the buying of fat cut
medicines and feeling unskilful doctors
while if the true cause Of their ailment
was known only few dimes with a
good dentist would suffice to alleviate
all pain and trouble and restore the
afflicted to health again.
With clean teeth you can be the
happy possessor Of clean mouth and
q sweet breath which evinces good
health while with dirty liberated
teeth you are the victim Of a foul and
filth mouth and sinking breath and
are subject to dyspepsia, sick head
ache and neuralgia Of the face. Your
friends are afraid to tell you that your
breath smells bad. You realize that
something is the matter and seek
] quack medicines and doctors for relief
and find none. Now to avoid all this
J expense, loss Of time, pain and sickness
it becomes absolutely necessary that
, the teeth shall be kept clean, and to
do this every cavity, must be filed
not waiting for the tooth to sche before
going to dentist, but as soon as there
, are evidences Of a cavity, however
} small it may be, go at once and have
it properly filled for if you wait till
the tooth aches the nerve will have to
ae killed and be taken out and 1t will
cost you about or times as much
for the operation. "a stitch In time
saves nine" on the inside as well as on
the outside, in the mouth as we'll as on
the back.
