When the Dentists Disagree.

w ACn DCAElBbS DRSd%ACO
Dentistry, like the law, is not an
exact science. Lawyers disagree
as a matter of business. Dentists
disagree as "a matter OF experience.
Monday, May IL, a skilled dent
list in a middle western city con-
scented, as the saying is, to be in
terviewed and quoted in this col
umn. He informed us % that
nerves should not be killed in teeth
before browning; (2) that bicus-
pids and molars having assesses
should be removed, but that front
teeth with assesses at the roots
may be conserved by suitable
treatment by the dentist. though
even the front teeth should be re
moved if any systemic condition
due to the septic focus is present :;
60 that all impacted or interrupted
wisdom or eye teeth should be re-
moved.
An equally competent dentist in
an eastern city takes issue with
the second dfctum. He has the
floor:
81 have in my own mouth a how
er bicuspid with a root canal fill
ing which was put in years before
the X-ray came into use. A radio
gram showed Ethat the root filling
did not extend to the end of the
canal and that a large sbscess had
formed there On removing the
root filing considerable pus was
found. This was absorbed by pa
per cones; an antiseptic dressing
was applied and left for a few
days. There was no further dis
charge OF pus, but for safety's
sake another antiseptic dressing
was put in, then few days later
a root canal filing of chlora-
percha, under rigid aseptic condi-
lions. This was 21a years ago and
radiograms have beer taken every
six months since. Each has show
ed a progressive filling-in of bone

comfortable either before it was
treated or since. l have many
such cases in my practice. This is
why l take exception to the views
of the exodontist'- (eXodontist,

tell what the ultimate result will
be with teeth of this nature. and

best to X-ray them every year or

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Chronic INDIGESTION and Gas.

Is there any remedy, either med
tcine or drugless remedy, which
will cure chronic Indigestion and
gas in the stomach and bowels
The doctor said I had chronic gaa-
tritis. MRS. C. G. H.
Answer-The term gastritis does
not mean gas in the stomach, but
is medical Latin for stomach in
flammation irrespective of gas.
can assure you that there is no
remedy. medicinal or plausible,
that can be called cure for
chronic indigestion or for gas in
the stomach or bowels, for the rea-
son that such complaints do not
depend on any particular trouble,
but are made by persons afflicted
with all sorts of troubles. such as
heart disease, arterio-sclerosis
Bright's disease, cancer, gastric
(stomach) ulcer, chronic append
icitis, gal1stones, and so on. Some
times mere over-eating or hasty
eating may be the disease. If you
have gistritis, you had better not
attempt any experiments on your
self, but follow your Doctors di-
rections. Life is short and full OF
care, yet it is sweet enough to
keep as long as possible.
An Idea SeOffed At
I have heard that too many
growing plants in a room take
considerable quantity of oxygen
from the air, making it more UNIT
to breathe, and then again l have
heard the idea scoffed at. Please
S. S. D.
Answer - Every schoolboy far
enough advanced to study botany
or biology knows that the idea
should be scoffed at. Plants alb
sorb carbon dioxide from the air,
and give off oxygen: animals and
human beings absorb oxygen from
the air and give off carbon dioxide.

he had come by it.

young man the tiny note, and both
