VALUE OF GOOD TEETH
Dr.. Hynds Tells in Forceful Way
Why You Should Take Good Care
of Your Teeth.

Perhaps you don't realize that only
obout one person in fifty have per-
feet set of teeth and sound healthy
gums. But such is the case neverthe-
less; and as appalling as this may
seem, very few dentists make any eff
fort to educate the laymen regarding
dental ills, and the evil effects upon
the organs of the body that are sure
to follow as a result of the unsanitatry
conditions prevailing in the mouth
Many a good tooth has been lost
that could have been saved; many a
set of false teeth are worn that could
have been prevented; many person
is toothless which should have been
otherwise; and hundreds of people are
suffering agonies untold, simply be-
cause the dental profession make no
effort to educate the people to a
proper care and appreciation Of their
dental organs. Dental diseases are very
deceptive and therefore all the more
dangerous. You may be sufferer of
neuralgia, headache, nervousness,
catarrhal troubles and blood disorders
that are entirely due to conditions in
the mouth. If you could take just one
look with me at mouthful of decayed
and liberated teeth and roots, with d.
seased gums thrown in, then and only
then would you be able to understand
the awful chances such persons are
taking with their health and even their
life by tolerating such condition.
Such mouths are incubators' for the
termination of microbes which under
mine the health of the other organs of
the body. Do you wonder they have
foul breaths, coated tongues, bab taste
and Indigestion? It is no uncommon
occurance to have an emaciated, feeble
looking young or middle aged person
with a complexion as yellow as SAT-
from take my chair and upon eXamina-
ton find mouth reeking with millions
of microbes, with pus oozing from the
gums and broken down teeth, and
when we stop to consider that every
mouthful they swallow it is mixture
of pus, decayed tooth structure and
food, is it any wonder that an out
ragged nature cries out against it, when
daily this poisonous matter is taken
into the system with the things we
eat
Stomach Troubles.
Over 80 per cent of all stomach
troubles are due to poor teeth and di-
seased gums, this is admitted by all
medical authorities, and when we stop
to consider the fact that death result
ing from stomach trouble alone ranks
in sixth place among total diseases and
in second place as regards pain and
suffering does it not seem strange that
so many people will with open arms
invite a disease that is sure to sap
their vitality and destroy all that men
and women hold dear, youth, beauty
and even life it self.
Good Health.
Good health is a blessing that most
of us appreciate only when it is lost
When it becomes helplessly broken
and shattered, then it is that we are
brought. face to face with the fact
that procrastination has indeed been
the thief of time, that while in the
prime of life our youth and beauty
has faded, that we walk with aged
STEP An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Having your teeth
taken care of in time, means a saving
of pain, expense, teeth and even health
itself. Get the habit of useing the
tooth brush night and morning with
some good antiseptic wash.
