SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoU, of course, use a tooth
l. brush. So do I. We brush
our teeth two or three or more
times day. 1t ought always to
be done after each meal, on re-
firing and on arising. We try
first to select a good tooth brush
and then to keep it clean, which
is to say surgically clean, or anti
septic. We do this to keep germs
out of it and thus to prevent in
fecting our gums by the very
means we employ to keep them
infected we have what Is called
pyorrhoea.
Pyorrhoea is extremely com.
mon and distressing. There are
many kinds of treatment for it.
All are doubtful. Dentist and
doctor cannot do much more than
put off the bad results for a few
years. Sooner or later all the
teeth have to come out-and, on
general principles, the sooner the
better. You can have something
done for the acute case, but the
slow chronic one is obstinate to
all treatment. Scaling, polishing,
Swinging, an improvement in the
general health, all improve
mouths for a time. but only for
a time.
Chronic pyorrhoea seems TO at.
tack all classes indiscriminate)y
and seems often to be most evil
dent in those who take the most
care of their mouths by cleaning
their teeth three or four times a
day. At one time Donovan. a
leading English authority, thought
that powder or paste was at the
root of this chronic gum disease.
This was found to be misleading
because pyorrhoea is caused by
microbes attacking a, mouth which
has had its resistance lowered by
constant irritation. No, it was
not the tooth pastes. He found
only one constant factor in all
cases, and it is used by practi-
cally everybody in civilized coun'
tries. It is the tooth Brush.
According to Donovan's inVestf-
cations London lancet there are
very few, if any, tooth brushes in
the world today that are not
septic. He started with few
bristles out Of his own, and was
surprised to find them full Of
germs. He threw the brush away
and bought new one. This he
sterilized and found clean. He
used it in the ordinary way with
ordinary tooth paste, dropped It In
a, mild mouthwash and put 1t in
the rack.
Some ~ hours later 1t was
septic. He tried different pastes
and mouth washes, the so-called
"antiseptic" cases supplied by the
makers. He then tried hanging
his toothbrush in the sun. The
results were always the same. He
examined the brushes of many of
the men in his club and found
them all septic.
Just after use, whole punches of
bristles in a steriliZed toothbrush
may be clean. but II hours after
use every bristle is septic.
When the ordinary toothbrush
is used, infection from the mouth
is rubbed all over the gums. The
toothpaste is a very mild anti
septic at best, and has no effect
worth speaking of. The average
person brushes his teeth twice a
day from his babyhood up. Not
only is infection spread all over
his mouth. but scratches are made

why worry about what lies

nothing can lie ahead. You just

You've heard that often, haven't

somehow that argument always

try to answer fit seemed so
true and final. But suddenly the
other day, when I heard it for
the hundredth time, a light
seemed to break free in my mind
and I saw suddenly what a. false
and shallow argument it is.

All of my body constantly re-

the little bone at the end of my
spine, and every other particle
of my body, remembers things
