or the physique is of more Importance
than the teeth? And if they be ex-

We have neglected the blessings of
dental science. Statistics show that 80
per cent of the people of this country
need dental attention, while only 20 per
cent receive the same. DR.. Otto Ar

on that subject TO the Ohio State Dem

In our army there is great suscep-
tibility to the insidious process Of dem
tai carries, which is no respector of
persons and has no limit. for other dis
eases may come and go. but dental
carries, when once begun. like the brook,
goes on forever"
In many instances persons suffering
with dental disturbances are totally in
competent for the performance Of their
regular duties. When dental carries
reached a certain STANCE. and If the
skilled knowledge of the dentist is not
employed, the extraction of the Offend
ing tooth Is necessary, which results
IN impairing the utility of the anta gon-
iZing tooth, causing the adjoining teeth
to lean toward the space from which
the tooth vas extracted. due to the
stress OF mastication. iniuring articu-
lation and making m"astication more
difficult. The loss of several teeth will
so impair mastication that constitu-
ttOnal disturbances will often result.
