Your teeth decay because particles
of food get into crevices between and

licious, harmless germicide. Just a
little In a glass Of water, and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.

and remove tartar, destroy all germs

x A BUSTED THEORY
y By w. c. Cotton, M. D.

The grape seed theory of
appendicitis has been exploded. 1t
is true that grape seeds have been
known to lodge in the appendix,
but so have all other forms of
food.
Grape seeds cause their share
of appendicitis and no more. So
if you like grapes don't hesitate to
eat them because of any morbid
fear of appendicitis. For you
wont be any more apt to have it
if you eat grapes than if you eat
bacon.
And grape seeds are 'Iroughen-
ing" which you need to promote
good digestion, just as a horse
needs hay.
