Although the profession OF dentistry
Il comuonly supposed to be one OF the
modern airs there are evidences show
inc that IL was practiced many eentu

the world. These discoveries establish

II has generally been considered as

Excavations among the ruins OF the

profession OF the dentist was one much

days OF that mysterious civilization
which once existed there.
The dentists OF those prehistoric
American days oiled their patients
teeth not with gold but with little
discs OF bright green jadelte. The

ries Of Child" is an illustration:
Once. probably before the child's
school days began. somebody took her
to a school commencement. and a gen.
tleman made long, long address, to
which the child listened with respect
full attention The general sound of
the words was familiar to her. and
she was hardly aware Of the fact that
she did not at all understand.
But all at once he said something
about a pink sash, and the child looked
around at the person who had brought
her and laughed delightedly. She
knew what & pink sash was, and she
knew he was saying that girls liked to
wear pink sashes; and, oh, how re-
freshlng 1t wasi Then and there the
