round without killing the patient, did
you? Well, it is, for I have done it,
and ought to know.
about year ago a man called to
ask me if 1 could do anything for him.
He told me that by some means, which
be could not explain, his head had got
twisted completely round, so that the
back of it was in front and his face be-
hind. This was serious state of
things, though l admit the mans ap-
pearance seemed to be quite normal.
However, 1 was equal to this emer-
gency, and invited the man to call
again at an appointed time prepared
10 undergo an operation.
"By an arrangement of mirrors the
man was only able to see the back Of
his head, fact which, of course, con-
frmed him in his hallucination. The
lights were then turned out, and in
the darkness l gave my patient Sc
ries of electric shocks from a powerful
battery, during which my assistant
gave his head a series of violent twists
and wrenches, until the poor man
begged US to desist.
with a final shock and twist the
lights were relit, and to my patients
delight he saw his face in the very
same mirror where only few minutes
earlier he had seen only the back of
his head. The cure was complete, and
the patient is firmly convinced that
during that awful period of twists and
shocks (and Juggling with mirrors) his
head was actually twisted into itsprop-
er position again"

The Care of Teeth and What Patients
Should Know.

This age is memorable for the at
tempts to right all wrongs, real or i'm
aginary. 1t is the ambition Of every
dentist to reach the temple of fame
by his own efforts, and by that effort
patients generally think they have the
harder lot, but not considering that
they sit only an hour or two, while the
dentist is on duty from FIVE to seven
hours. Their trials are the more poig-
t,while the dentists duties, shifting
from one to the other individual with
the desire to please all, are more wear
ing.
The best dentist can no more than
save the modern teeth, and any grade
less than the best is bad, the patient
should know, it matters little how skill
fully cavities are filled, by what meth
Cd or with what material. If the
LESSONS are not on exposed surfaces the
teeth must be kept scrupulously clean
to secure good degree of perman-
ency-would that this point be i'm
pressed upon the minds Of the patient.
Though the cavity may be hermetically
sealed and the tooth theoretically re-
stored to its pristine state, the condi-
tions must be made more favorable by
care and cleanliness, or the same de-
structive agents will again create
havoc, especially in cervical regions.
Many have the idea that to keep the
teeth clean and to have teeth cleaned
by a dentist produce decay. We will
here try to give you brief idea of
the injurious consequences of not OBJ
serving oral hygiene: First, by the ac-
cumulation of calculus which is depos.
tied upon the teeth from the saliva,
all gum tissue in contact with it is
more or less diseased, causing absorp-
ton Of the alveoli, recession Of the
gums and consequent loosening Of the
whole denture, and let them catch the
fetor or moldy odor; no second lesson
should be needed to convince Of the
necessity for its frequent and thorough
removal. A glance through the micro
scope at a portion Of tartar freshly
taken from the mouth would afford
conclusive evidence of its frequent
and thorough removal; second. every
one should know that TO have healthy
teeth is the first condition essential 10
keeping the stomach in healthy state.
and TO derive the best benefits from
your food, to preserve and improve
your health; thirdly, it must be re-
membered that Heterogeneous Of all
kinds enter the mouth from the sur
rounding atmosphere. These germs ac-
cumulate upon the diseased teeth, and
wait their chance to penetrate the
body; they find in the cavities Of teeth
the most suitable condition for their
development, the saliva and decom-
posed food serve them as food, in fact
diseased teeth are perfect incubators
for bacteria. 1t is known that atbscter-
ia of diphtheria have been discovered
in the mouth of healthy child, and
they were only waiting for certain
favorable conditions in order to pro-
duce their specific effect. Mothers,
teach your children the importance Of
oral hygiene.

over a criminal court was famous as
one of the most compassionate men
who ever sat on the bench. His soft
ness of heart, however, did not pre-
vent him from doing his duty as a
judge. A man who had been convict

brought into court for sentence. He
looked very sad and hopeless, and the
court was much moved by his contrite
appearance.
