A chronic condition Of liberation Of the
gums and other similar ailments, with
which the mouth can be afflicted are apt
TO come from deep heated physical troubles.
General debility Of the system may demon
strate itself in such fashion, so that a
woman who is constantly suffering in this
way should go to a physician. as well as
TO a dentist.
II Is true, however, that in many cases
she can give herself much relief by washes
and applications which are healing. For
example, oil Of cinnamon has virtue at
such times. and in combination with car
boHc acid acts hygienieally, without which
healing would be impossible.
Another solution Of ten per cent carbolic
acid combined with giycerine is recon-
mended. To make this latter two ounces
Of ten per cent solution OF carbonc acid
and one ounce Of glycerine should be used

ingredients must be mixed. and strained
several times to dissolve the Jumps. Use
morning and night.
A tooth brush when the mouth is sore
must be chosen with care. The bristles
should stimulate the surface without irri-
tating It. More than one case of chronic
bleeding gums has originated in the con-
slant use Of an over stiff brush.
Brushing the teeth with table salt once
in two weeks is thought by some to be
an excellent preservative. Salt is cleans
ing and is applied as any tooth powder
