Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of steady de-
generacy in two sets Of organs vital to
the well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance OF
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision Of teeth. In the ape.
the negro, and the white man, brain
and teeth arc inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase of cunning has
reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders Of di-
gestion show that the balance is I'm
satisfactory.
