which the asked for extension Of the

proposed extension a reality.

No one has a good word for the east

The Use Of Different Materials Does

Among dentists there is difference
Of opinion as to whether the filling OF

one with gold, for instance-wiIl cause
rapid decay of the tooth through cleo
trolytic action between the two metals.
The matter was submitted to the edi.
tor of the Electrical Review, who re-
piles that If the amalgam Is thorough

Of gold and amalgam. with blotters
wet with sodium chloride and later
with acetic acid, and when the ANAL
gam had been properly mixed they
were unable to measure any electro
Iytic action.
When decay does follow in such
cases, he says, 1t is due not to electro
lytic but to chemical action. This
causes disintegration Of the filing, and.
of course, as soon as this has begun
the acids Of the mouth and the Juices
of the food can penetrate to the unpro-
tected surface Of the cavity and start
further decay. And this takes place
irrespective Of whether or not gold has
been used near by.
