WHY TEETH DECAY
Thyroid Gland Has Much to Do
With Their Quality.
What Can Be Accomplished BY the
Use Of Substance Obtained From
AnImals-vlews Of an Eminent
British Dental Authority.

New York.-More important than
all the dentists and their new hllings
and methods is the mystery Of why
teeth decay. An eminent British den
tai authority believes that a certain
ductless gland in the neck, known ss

destiny Of our chewing apparatus OF
course, no one doubts that cleaning
the mout selecting proper food and
general care of the health aid In keep
ing the teeth sound, and lack Of these
things contributes to their breaking
down. But these are not che only
causes nor the main ones.
In spite OF neglect and Ignorance
some people have absolutely no troG
BILE with their teeth, while Others
brush and clean and yet spend small
fortunes with the dentist. "a polished
tooth never decays" they say. and
this is probably true, but 1t is equal
ly true that nobody can keep every
portion Of every tooth polished "a
the time.
THE lungs and the liver and the
heart and other organs are supposed
to take care Of themselves without
ones personal attention" says TIA

Good health was early recognized
as one of the foundations for gooa
teeth. But many cases Of excellent
general health show poor teeth. 20 We
must conclude that there are various
kinds Of good health, some which IN

Among all the varying causes q

the least being that of the formation

EHRLICH'S SEARCH FOR CURE-ALL

The panacea, or drug that will cure

ancient student of medicine. 1t has
not yet been found, nor is 1t likely to

medical authority who expects to dis
cover 1t for one particular class OF
diseases-namely, those caused by
bacterial infection. There is nothing
illogical in the idea of a substance
that is fatal to all bacterial organ
isms. Indeed, such substances are al
ready known, but unfortunately those
with which most people are familiar
will kill the patient as we'll In an
