teeth are limited as to their growth.
Ii is a curious fact that most peO-
pie in chewing use one side of the
mouth more than the other. This
can be traced usually to some defect
on the unused side: but the habitual
use of one side of the mouth is detri-
mental to the opposite side and the
health generally.
"The strength of an organ depends
upon its use" applies to the teeth as
il does to any other part Of the body.
