CUTTING TEETH.
slzth to sixteenth Month Critical Tinas
for Babies. v

Sixth 10 sixteenth Month Critical Time
for Babies. v
The time Of the. first dentition, which
lasts usually from the infants sixth
or eighth month to the sixteenth. is
one Of the critical periods Of life. yet
its dangers have been greatly exagger-
ated. Formerly it was custom to refer
every imaginable disease affecting a
baby during eruption Of its teeth to this
lief is perhaps inclining too far the
other way and some doctors refuse to
credit teething with producing any
other than merely local troubles. The
process Of cutting teeth is undoubtedly
a normal one, and in a healthy infant
is usually accomplished without any
great difficulty or disturbance: but in
puny and sickly children it is some
times laborious and the cause of much
distress. Among the many affections
formerly regarded as provoked by
teething. the most common are
d%iarrhoea, cough and commissions; but
probably the last named is the only
one caused directly by this process.
Whensa tooth comes through with diff
ficulty the child's ervou system is
worn upon by the local irritation, and
it may become more and more irrita-
BILE. until finally an explosion occurs
and the child has commissions. This
is, however, a rare occurrence, and it
is probable that the nervous constitu-
ton of such children is already weak,
and needs only some slight irritation,
whether from the teeth, the stomach,
or the skin, to become conyulsively eS-
cited. The diarrhoea and the cough
are no doubt both due to Indigestion,
caused by nervous irritation. Local
disorders Of teething are more COM
mon. They consist for the most part
in Inflammation of the gums, which
are red. swollen and hot, and in the
drooling of a ropy saliva. In order to
prevent Inflammation, the mouth
should be kept perfectly clean, being
washed out often with a solution of
borax or boric acid, fifteen or twenty
grains to the ounce. The baby's desire
to bite should be gratif1ed by providing
it with a hard rubber, ivory or silver
object On which to exercise its jaws.
The general health should be carefully
watched. Any tendency to diarrhoea
or especially to constipation should be
corrected, and the child should be kept
in the air as much as possible. If the
nervous symptoms are threatening, Sc
datives are needed, and 1t may be nee
essary to lance the gums. It should be
remembered that a teething infant may
have an illness quite Independent Of
the teething process, and hence one
should never neglect to call a doctor
under the theory that its troubles are
all due to the teething, and consequent
ly are Of little moment.-Youth's Com.
