now comes "an expert on oral

Err care of the mouth, who ad-
ees the theory that the accepted

Eew jersey, is the father of this the
Rory. He writes upon the subject thus:
Z "Not only has the public become ac-
customed to look upon the brush as
necessary, but our teachers and the
great army of dentists are recommend
ing its diligent use. This teaching Of
school children and of adults how to
use the brush properly constitutes
what I consider the menace of the
tooth brush;' because it mas been
proved to me that the brush is defeat

Agiene movement and that we are act
ually injecting the mouth instead of
leaning it by tee use of the filthy
germ-ridden thing. DR.. Head called
the attention Of the profession to the
dirty condition of the brush as it is
y used by the general public. Profess
sor Miller proved that the brushing
action Of the bristles upon the surface
Of the teeth had very injurious me-
chanical wasting effect near the necks

reported the conclusions which were
reached in It's matter by research
Y workers, and his remarks are so en-
phatic that the matter can not be we'll
ignored. The plain truth is that the
brush is a dangerous instrument which
is practically impossible to sterilize.
1t can not be boiled with impunity, and
4 practically all agents, such as tricresol
or formalin, render the bristles of the
brush or the handle unfit for further
use. To quote Professor Hutchinson:
