of GAIA, whereby the roof fell upon
the Philistines. How Samson was

these growths obstucting the Emphatic cir

The teeth should never be neglected. 1t is
rs essential to keep them clean as It is neces-
sary for us to eat. They should be thoroughly
brushed with a medium bristle brush three
times n day. Most people brush them in n
very perfunctory sort OF way, applying the
brush horizontally. This does not remove the
small particles OF food between the teeth and
fermentation and decay results. The proper
way is to first rinse the mouth with water
that has been slightly warmed This washes
away many Of the food particles that adhere
to the teeth. Next use the brush without any
powder or paste to dslodge any food that
may still remain on the teeth; then apply your
powder or paste by means OF the tooth brush
and thoroughly use It along the teeth with the
cross motion usually applied with the brush
to the teeth. You must also brush upward and
downward, inward and outward, then back
ward and forward. In this way all foreign
substances are removed. In order TO be sure
that no particles remain even after this treat.
ment, 1t is necessary to pass silk dental floss
