Pyorrhea or Riggs Disease Now

Riggs disease, Or pyorrhea as the
dentists call it, is a chronic disease
Of the gums, or rather the membrane
that surrounds the roots Of the teeth
and lines the sockets OF the gums.
L causes the gums 10 gradually Ie-
cede from the teeth, exposing the
more del: ate neck Of the tooth anl
giving t.,e ,ceth an elongated ap-
pearause. This process continues
and in the course Of years causes
the gums 20 bleed easily ani 70 De-
come sore and ulcerous. 1t finally
causes the teeth to become loose
, and almost drop out.
New il has been found that all
. this trouble is due to a peculiar
germ that destroys this membrane
: which surrounds the root Of the
, tooth and which lines the socket in
: which it rests. This particular germ
d is readily destroyed in from 3 to 6

On anybody for aid. While | am not familiar with the coast at the points mentioned, the scheme certainly ap- pears to have 9 great deal of merit. {,
 If those who claim to have inside information about the above plan are tc De credited, the instructions to the commanders of the adventurous ex- petition into Canadian waters will read:
 Destroy every vessel that leaves a Canadian port for Europe. They all carry contraband.' -
 If these orders are enforced, local Germans predict, the moral effect will be disastrous for the Allies. They be- Heve that within few weeks from the sinking of the first Canadian steamer commerce between Canada ard Europe will be paralyzed.
 German Officials Comment.
 No comment could be obtained from German officials, with one exception that of a high officer in the kalsers navy, who exclaimed: W
 Germany has demonstrated con- clusiveIy that she does not hesitate at the performance of any task for the benefit of the Fatherland. She all ready has done what was considered Impossible on the continent. She has carried the war into the enemyss country. Why, should not her valiant submarine men be able to carry her war into the enemy's waters, wherever it may take them ?"
 That was the nearest to official com ment obtainable. But the inner circle Of local Germans, initiated into the secret, swear by the "fall of Lemberg' that Admiral Won Tirpitz has the plan and the submarines to carry 1t out, and that Germany has the dare-devils who will stake their lives on the out come. And what is more, these Ger man sons declare that nothing can be done to guard against the proposed submarine war in Canadian waters.
