TEETHING

Teething in a normal, well baby i.
usually attended with little or no in
convenience or irritability. Between
the 9th and Sth months the two low
er front teeth usually appear. They
may come earlier or later and still be
normal. However, a delay beyond
the eighth month of as much as six
months should be investigated by a
competent physician. All of the four
front teeth, upper and lower, should
| have appeared by the tenth month
/ the first four molars by the fifteenth
month; the eye teeth and stomach
teeth by the twenty-fourth month; the
other molars at the thirtieth month.
As soon as the teeth come through
they should be taken care of and kept
clean. The best method of doing this
( is to wash the mouth out daily with
boric acid solution. Wrap some cot
ton around the finger, dip it in the So
I luton and carefully wash out the
mouth. Do this until the child is
about two years old, when the use of
soft brush may be started.
Teething is often blamed for any
illness which may occur at this par
ticular period of the child's life. 1t
is quite true that teething may give
rise to acute symptoms, but such sym
ptoms are of a disease or condition
which was present before the teeth
ing process commenced. For exam
pie, a child may have been badly fed.
He may have been given potatoes, veg
etables and other foods from the
table before his digestive organs were
developed enough to take care of
them properly This results in an
intestinal irritation, and perhaps
slight diarrhoea. The child must then
start to cut his teeth thru hard, re-
sistant gums. The pain is quite Sc
we're. The temperature goes up a lit
tie. The baby was already on the
verge of a serious upset condition.
This added irritation, rise in tenn
perature and increased irritability are
enough to precipitate the attack, with
the result that the baby may have
severe commissions and an increase in
all symptoms.
Teething does not cause bronchitis
or skin eruption of any kind. There
is an impression among certain peo-
pie that diarrhea is a good thing dur
ing the teething period, and that it
does not need treatment. This is en-
tirely false, and many lives have been
lost through such a belief. The
breast-fed baby has the easiest time
during teething. His digestion is nor
NAL, his balance of lime salts in the
body is normal, and he is not irritable.
The well fed bottle baby has the next
easiest time, and the badly fed baby
has the hardest time of all
The best method of helping teeth
is NOT by lancing the gum,
but by vigorously rubbing the gum
with a clean cloth. This will cause
the sharp edge Of the tooth to come
and the gum will not close
over it again.
After the teeth are thru they should
be examined by a dentist every six
months and the temporary teeth car
ed for as carefully as the permanent
teeth. Cavities should be filled with
a soft filling; injections of the gums
should be carefully watched for and
eradicated at their onset.

Turkish restaurants are watched

Big guns are fired In COnstantinople
to Indicate sundown, and the rush of
Turks to coffee houses and restaurants
approaches a riot.
During Ramadan the followers of
the great prophet are not supposed
to drink water during daylight hours.
Fasting makes the Turks so irritable

America Lost 34,249 In
War-224,0S9 Wounded

Final figures on army casualties
in the world war are contained in
the annual report of Surgeon Cen
eral Ireland, just made public,
showing 32,249 killed and 224,0S9
wounded. The proportion of kill
ed to wounded is about the same
as in the Civil war, altho mortal
ity from gunshot wounds in the
world war was only 8.26 per cent
as compared with 1876 per cent in
the Civil war. The report said this
indicated that improved surgical
and sanitary methods in the re-
cent war had saved the lives of
5.34 per cent of all American SOL
diers wounded.
OF every 1000 men sent to
France ITO were admitted to hos
pitals as the result of battle cas-
ualties, the report says, and near
ly seven men out of every 1000
died as the result of wounds. In
fantry losses were heaviest, 215.6
out of every 1000 men of that arm
being wounded and 1877 killed
The signal corps was next, with
52.22 wounded and 3.13' killed per
thousand.
Deaths from wounds totalled
1851, or slightly more than re-

by far the most deadly, the report
