true philanthrOpist that he was, as a
realization of the patient lives of the
poor swept across his mind. A tear
dropped from his sOrrOwing eyes.
The patient stared slightly. Her eyes

half conscious, as she saw the tear
that hallOwed the moment where a
kind soul had come to the rescue.

THETEETH
and HEALTH
By DR.. SAMUEL c. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania.

We frequently hear specialists de-
claring that the health of mankind de-
ponds upon the proper care of that
portion of the body upon which they
specialize. Now, the human organism
is so complicated an affair that nobody
is safe in putting such a sweeping re-
spOnsibility upon any one organ; yet
there are many who will say the dental
surgeon, when he makes his claim that
defective teeth have more to do with
physical degeneration in mankind than
any other member gone wrong, has
more behind him than some of his
brother specialists.
His is claim that cannot be
checked off with exactness, but we do
know through scientific investigation,
as well as from experience in practice,
that defective teeth cause great deal
of i'll health; and I am one of those
who will go as far as to say that care
of teeth from infancy onward brings
certainly as great, and possibly great
or. rewards than like care Of any other
one organ.
1t is q wonder men and women do
not take better care of their teeth, not
because Of the benefit to health-be-
cause that seems to be the last thing
we could hope to have any influence,
but because there is nothing that adds
more to the personal appearance of
man or woman than a beautiful set of
teeth. If, for instance, some women
would pay as much attention to their
teeth as they do to putting splotches
of paint on their faces, they would
not only be more attractive personally
but would enjoy better health.
The mouth and nose are the busiest
ports of entry for disease In the hui
man body. The mouth, particularly
when the teeth are defective, retains
many germs that would produce dis
ease, and the environment will furnish
that which promotes their multiplied
ton.
The mucous membrane of the
mouth is in itself quite resiStful to dis
ease germs, yet at times it becomes
infected and the pus-fOrming germs
bore their way into the bones of the
face, producing long suffering, disfig-
urement and sometimes even proceed
until they destroy the life of the indi-
vidual.
