cara Of the Mouth.

The use Of a tooth wash does not
approach the conditions OF laboratory
test, though there can be little doubt
that a good deal OF germlcidal work IN
the mouth is done by the vigorous ap-
plIcation OF the toothbrush, and It may
be pointed out that the tongue may
well be included in the process. To be
effective, however, the action OF all an
tiseptics takes time, according to the
vitality OF the organisms they encount-
er, and usually the tooth brushing
process does not occupy many seconds.
This question Of time exposure Is i'm
portant, but It Is very generally over
looked and consequently the antiseptic
treatment Of the teeth falls short Of
that effectiveness which is shown to
be the case In laboratory experiments
The tooth washing process should be
more prolonged and the antiseptic wash
allowed to remain In contact with the
teeth and gums for some minutes In
stead Of seconds before finally washing
the mouth clear OF antisepdc with

III. Darkness. Rsfor. Dawn.

II is proverbial that "the darkest
hour precedes the dawn" W. E. Den
ming. the English authority on me-
teors, has recently called attention to
the literal accuracy Of this proverb. as
established by his own observations
on thousands OF nights. He says:
Before dawn a greater darkness
seems to drop down like a mantle upon
the immediate surroundings. Objects
which were plainly observable during
the previous hours Of the night are
blotted out, and a nervous feeling IS
sometimes induced by the dense opac-
fly OF the air"
he claims to have noticed this
phenomenon when the subject was far
from his thoughts, so that 1t could not
have been purely subjective. he Is
unable to state the exact interval be-
fore sunrise when the remarkable dark
ness comes on nor whether It IS COM
mon 10 each season and sky conditions.
