men, taking their part in the

is not only unjust, but little short

government under which they
live. In the end it will do more
to return women to their proper

other step yet taken in our new

Riggs Disease.

Known also as pyorrhea alive
olaris, this disease, which is char
acterized by disoharge Of pusfrom
the tooth sockets, is not uncommon.
Ii is a serious affection, not only be,
cause it brings about the loss of the
teeth, but because il has dangerous
effects on the constitution. Accord
ing to a growing belief .among
physicians, some diseases of obscure
ongin. such as rhermatoid arth!ius,
and various disorders of the bron-
chial tubes, lungs and heart, are due
TO the absorption of septic material
discharged from the tooth sockets
in R;ges's disease.
Pyorrhea begins over one or more
of the front teeth as congestion Of
the margins of the gums. Tie
edges thicken, grow sponsy, separ-
ate from the teeth, and expose the
lower part of The roots. Soon the
gums begin to discharge pus-a
discharge that may often be increas-
cd by pressing the root of the tooth.
If untreated, the suppuration results
in the absorption of the bo,y tooth
sockets, the looseDing of the teeth.
and ultimately IN the loss Of them.
Since the disease is due 10 the
germs of suppuration penetrating be-
tween the gums aud the teeth, it is
favored by anything that ends 10

the use of the tooth brush and let.
