Camphor In the PHILIPPINES.

The bureau of science of the Phil.
ippine government is making a study
of the plant known as Blumea balsami-
fera, known by the natives in the Phil
ippines as "sambon" or "gabuen,"
which produces camphor. The shrub
Is one of the most common weeds in
the Philippines. 1t grows from five
to eight feet high, with a stem almost
woody in texture, and has long been
used by the natives of the Philippines
as well as by natives of China for
medical purposes. The Chinese in
parts of Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces already distill considerable
camphor from the plant, the chief
drawback to the more extensive use
of it being the amount of labor re-
quired to secure the gum. The bureau
of forestry at Manila is introducing
the ordinary camphor tree of China
and Japan into the mountain districts
of Luzon in large numbers for the pur-
pose of building up future camphor
production in the islands.

Six operators had perhaps sixty or sew

In addition to the more serious sur
gical work which the American den.
lists are carrying on large amount Of
extremely important minor work in the
way of repairs to bad teeth is being
accomplished. Soldiers who cannot eat
cannot fight and it takes better than
ordinary teeth to chew army food. The
number of men who have been sent
back from the trenches because they
have broken off their rotted teeth by
biting on hard biscuits and have then
fallen ill from indigestion of food
swallowed whole is very large. There
are also in the regular military hos
pitfalls of Paris and the provincial cities
hundreds of men who have simply lost
their false teeth in the trenches. The
state of dental culture in France is so
low-until 1894 any person whatsoever
could hang out his dentists sign
that the ordinary recruit has teeth
which an American dentist would say
offhand made him useless for long
campaigning.
The English soldiers, too, have very
bad teeth. The consequence is that
toothache is common in the English
trenches, even among officers, strange
as that may seem. One English gen.
eral even had to have a dentist visit
him under fire to pull tooth.
Important as Good Feet.
The point which the American dem
lists emphasize is that dental work is
SO rapidly done that it would be pos
sible to have every man properly
equipped with chewing apparatus in
time of peace and that eating is such
an important part of a soldiers &C

out to battle with bad teeth as it would

1t wasn't long before the Oulad-Se-
ghir Arabs made us busy as we want
ed to be.

myself, and when / went to sleep l
wanted to sleep long time. But l
didn't get a chance, because in the

was a poor man at drink, came and
shook us until we were reused up.
We had no sooner opened our eyes
than we heard the bugler on the roof
cracking his lungs with the rouse"
the alarm" and the "regimental
CALL"
We bounded up to the roof with our
rifles in our hands, but no trousers on
our legs, and lined up at the ready"
Good" said the sergeant, 81 was
afraid that you were all too drunk. I
came up here to smoke a pipe and
found the sentry had gone to bed
with the rest of you. 1t would have
been bad job for us if hadn't want
ed that pipe. Look there!" and he
pointed to the borders of the oasis
where we saw moving figures and
plenty of them. 'I had the alarm
sounded just to remind those monkeys
that they can't catch the Legion
asleep, and the regimental call was
blown on the off chance that it would
be heard in Ras-elChel, telling the
company that there is business 60
ing on here"
1t was nearly seven o'clock before
they came. 1t was good that they
didn't start earlier, for there were sew
eral hundreds of them with modern
rifles. They climbed UP into the palm
trees and shot down at us, but that
gave us a better chance at them for
we couldn't miss birds of that size.
Every shot we fired brought one down.
"Our bugler was the first to lose his
number. He was shot through the
head, and he stood in the angle of
the parapet and remained standing
as if he were effective.
That gave us an idea, and as each
man fell afterwards we propped him
up with bayonet behind and stood
him against the parapet When the
sergeant went out we stuck his pipe
In his mouth and he looked regular
lifelike, only more determined. Soon
there was a row of dead men guard
ing the blockhouse, and they looked
so calm and confident that the Oulad-
Seghir evidently thought it would be
too risky to come to close quarters
with us. They gave up the fight in
disgust, so when our company came
to our rescue at the double there was
nothing for them to do
Grave fellows, you have saved the
post" said our captain, as he en-
braced the corporal and myself, the
only two left standing. But the
worthy man was mistaken 1t wasn't
us that saved the post. It was those
others that he didn't embrace.
The company marched past that line
Of dead defenders and saluted them.

character of the problems presented
| for solution in the dental clinic of the
American ambulance.
Rib in Place of Jawbone.
| Roughly speaking, the injuries which
the writer actually saw one morning
in the clinic were about as much worse
than those reported, in photographs,
from bad railway accidents as these
latter were worse than face injuries
of ordinary life. The most striking if
not the most interesting cases were
| those in which all or most of the lower
jaw had been shot away. The basis
of repairing such mouths was the SUBJ
/ stitution of piece of rib for the miss
ing lawbone. Teeth were placed upon
| the new jaw and in the course of few
weeks the patient could speak and eat
normally. There were some curious
cases in which the tongue had been
| shot off in the middle. An English
boy who had gone to the hospital in
that condition spoke quite clearly out
of his made-over mouth after only a
few weeks of care.
There were many cases, too, where
| bullets had entered at the top of the
jaw on one side of the face, clipped
off from twelve to sixteen teeth fatty
down along the jaws, and blown the
whole business-teeth, pieces of jaw
bone and shreds of tissue-out through
hole which took up practically all of
the opposite fiat side of the lower face
After very short time such cases are
completely cured, so that the patient
may have far better mouth than he
had when he went to the hospital The
surgeons work in cooperation with the
dentists, so that any complications in
the way of assesses in the various
facial glands are properly attended to
medically.
A difficulty of the various jaw frac-
lures under treatment was that the
bones in question were not merely
broken into ten or a dozen separated
morsels-a thing which dentists know
we'll how to deal Without were rather
pulverized into perfectly unrecogniz-
able mass of utterly smashed I'D mat
ter. Teeth were blown down into OBJ
scure corners at the bottom of the
| mouth, from which position they could
be extracted only with great difficulty
on account of the danger of bleeding.
X-ray photographs gave no assistance
to the operators in these cases because
there were literally no solid pieces left
for putting together.
The patients appeared to suffer ex-
tremely little pain during the course of
the fixing of all sorts of complicated
wire apparatus in their wretched
mouths because the pressures and
forces employed were applied so very
gradually. There were several men
present for dressing who had been un-
der ether on the operating table two
hours before while surgeon placed
morsels of their ribs where their own
lower jaws had once been; these fell
lows were smoking cigarettes and
whistling little and trying out a bit
of conversation just to see how the
new halves of their mouths worked.

Dentists in u. S. Army.

In the English army, too, there are
40 places regularly reserved for dem
lists. In fact the American is the only
army for which dentists are regularly
engaged just as surgeons are, and in
the American army the grade of the
dentist, that of first lieutenant, from
which he cannot rise, is far from salts
factory to the profession in general.
The result of this particularly bad
foresight on the part of the French
military bureaucrats is that no pro-
vision can be made for the curing of
injuries to the jaw, because it is out
of the question for surgeons to attempt
to do dental work At the American
ambulance now tho dental department
Is receiving many cases for reopera-
ton from emiDently competent sur
geons.
The case of a man whose jaw, two
thirds shot away, was sewn and pieced
together so that it was all out of line
and whose lips, ripped to pieces by the
bail which destroyed his mouth and
left only fragments hanging about his
mech, were so sewed up that his beard
was growing away prosperoGsly inside
his mouth and tickling the roof of it,,
leaving the patient unable to speak
and scarcely able to eat, was only one
of dozens. In six weeks the American
dentist treating this man had the jaw
and lips back again in normal position
and q monstrous face is turned into
one which only a dentist could ever
tell had been injured.

Paris-A capital professional inter.
est attaches to the dental department
OF the American ambulance at Neuilly.
Perhaps never before, certainly never
since dental science took on the char
scter of surgery of the face" has
there been such an opportunity for
dentists. The number and variety of
which have been presented by the
wounded from the battlefields along
the Marine and Aisne has never been
surpassed in even the most remarkable
railway accidents, those other feasts
of dentists.
1t is due again to American ingenu-
ity and independence that the dental
aspect of war surgery has been given
any chance. First of all Americans
are the best dentists, as they were the
6rst practical ones. In this branch of
medicine Europe still goes to school to
America. Then, too, the American am
bulance was founded under such con-
ditions of freedom from bureaucratic
control that it was possible for the
eminent head surgeon, Doctor Du Bou-
Chef, himself a son of dentist and a
brother of one, to turn over to a spe-
cial department all jaw cases without
stirring up rivalries between grades of
surgeons and physicians and dentists
with different kinds and colors of
stripes on their sleeves.
In the French hospitals dental oper-
ating has not been nearly so success
full, not only because the French den
list is not mechanically and medically
so competent as his American con.
frere, but even more pronouncedly be-
cause the dentists military grade is
necessarily lower than the physicians
or surgeons.
