BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of lily geia, the Health Magazine Pyorrhea means a flow of matter. However, the flow of matter or to speak of it scientifically-pus, is not the most significant thing about this disturbance of the mouth and teeth. The important fact is that the con- dition becomes chronic and that as a result of this the tissue of the gums separate from the roots of the teeth.
 When they have once separated they are not likely to become at tached again Moreover. q constant presence Of infections matter leads to secondary disturbances in the body which may be exceedingly serious.
 The blood picks up the germs from the pus pockets around the teeth and carries them to other parts of the body where they set up new infections.
 | Because the teeth are loose and the mouth is foul, the person with pyorrhea is likely to lose his appe- tite. He is unable to chew food satisfactorily, his. digestion is inter- fered with and he becomes in gen. eral much sicker than he would be with a clean mouth cavity. i Usually Chronic Because the mouth is easy to get at because the gums are tough and i because the saliva keeps the mouth constantly fabricated, the us1!es stand a great deal of punishment before the condition becomes so se- were that it is impossible to delay attention. For this reason pyorrhea is usually chronic rather than an acute disease
 For this reason also if is necessary ] to remind people again and again that the mouth should be looked at ! by competent dentist at least once in every six months in order that such conditions may be detected i early and given adequate care be- 1 fore they become so serious that the only hope lies in removal of all of the teeth. surgical attention to the gums and the provision of artificial ! plates.
 Among the causes Of infections Of the gums are continuous irritation from the edge of rough crowns or filings. A good dentist will see to it that crown or filling is abso- lutely smooth and continuous with the surface Of the tooth to which it is applied
 Toothpick Damage Food particles may accumulate between the teeth and set up spots Of local irritation and decay The regular use Of the tooth brush and of dental floss is necessary to pre- vent such an occurrence Tooth picks, and especially pins, knives, forks or other obpjects used in lieu Of toothpicks. do severe damage to the delicate tissues when manipu- lated by careless hand.
 Tartar deposits are just as frri- tant as rough filings Moreover. they are easily susceptible to the ac- emulation Of bacteria. Pyorrhea is one of the most menacing dis eases known 10 man and it's pre- Nention depends on constant vigi- lance.
 Queston-Is 1t possible for the hair to turn gray over night? Answer-Seyeral people have claimed that they have seen the hair Of an individual turn gray over | night. but the evidence is not thus for sufficient to convince scientific investigators.
