the Augusta dam has begun its annual
work of pushing its way down river on
the way to the sea and while it is not
moving vet in good shape beginning
has been made and few days of mild
weather will show results. Saturday
night the ice which was lodged against
the niers of the Kennebec bridge
moved down river to a point below that
structure, and yesterday brought an
other change, the ice going down as far
as the yacht club. just above the
steamboat wharf, where it hung up al
though the ice is broken up and jam

the teeth are shot out Of place by bull
lets and become imbedded in the soft
tissues of the face and head. II also
happens that nerve will be laid bare
by the fracture OF tooth which has
been hit by a bullet, and cause the
most intense suffering to the wounded
man until it is cared for. These are
only some OF the peculiar complica-
tions coming under the care OF the
American dentists working in the war
hospitals of Europe, but they illus
trate the fact that too great attention
cannot be paid to the importance OF
healthy teeth in soldiers. If an
abscessed tooth should become i'm
bedded in the tissues OF the nose or
cheek, for instance, it might cause
death.
At the beginning Of, the war Ger
many was the only nation Of all the
belligerents which realized this fact
For fifteen years prior to 1914, Ger
many had maintained dental clinics
in its schools primarily to insure the
healthy dentition Of the young men
going into the army. Once in the
army, the army dental corps saw to
it that every soldiers teeth remained
in good condition. No time was
wasted on account OF toothache after
the men were in camp, and there was
no Indigestion on account of their
inability to chew the army rations.
1t may sound extreme to the layman,
but the experts state that the superior
teeth Of the German army have had
a great deal to do with its efficiency.
Fortunately, all the American den
fists have not gone to Europe. Hun
dreds of them have already enlisted
in the Preparedness League Of Amer
,ican Dentists and are ready to answer
the cali of the government for dental
services as soon as the drafted army
begins to assemble.

where, in 1910, a monument was
erected to his memory. The monu-
ment is dedicated "to Horace Wells,
the discoverer of surgical anesthesis
and to his devoted French disciple,
Paul Bert"
II the American dentist commanded
wide popularity in Europe before
the war, he commands genuine devo.
ton now. In the American hospital
in Paris he has worked day and night,
after serious artillery engagements,
building whole new Jaws and making
new plates OF teeth for wounded SOL
diers. In this war, where SO much OF
the fighting is done in the trenches,
most OF the wounds are head wounds,
In an immense number of cases the
jaw is injured. But, in any event,
the wounded mans teeth must be re-
paired.
The regular hours OF the dental
corps of the American ambulance
hospital in Paris are from 9 until S
but when the wounded arrive in large
,iumbers from the front sleep is not
only postponed, but suspended, until
all the patients are cared for. At the
beginning OF the war the French did
not realize the grave Importance OF
good dentition in their soldiers, and
as a result the teeth Of large per-
centage of French wounded are in bad
condition. All are in need Of scaling
and cleaning. Nineteen out OF twenty
require filings. Fifty per cent have
assesses OF one kind and another,
and nearly 20 per cent must be fur
nished with plates to replace lost
teeth.
There are ten dentists and nine
nurses in the American ambulance
dental corps. In the morning each

The treatment of a jaw wound is al
ways long and complicated; the den.
tist must be skillful surgeon, and
the apparatus required is elaborate,
In the first place, the misplaced bones
must be moved back into position and
held in place by splints. Some parts
of tissues, utterly destroyed, must be
replaced by metal or vulcanite. In
some cases, the jaw bone itself is
missing. and has to be replaced by
piece Of bone taken from some other
portion OF the patients body--say,
the rib or the shin bone. All this
must be done by the dental surgeon
before the plastic surgeon can begin
his molding OF new features for the
patient with skin also grated from
different parts Of the body.
