Trench Mouth Is
Dentists Subject

Minneapolis, March 6.-FeThe
danger of Vincent's infection, or
trench mouth, is that it may obscure
or cause other diseases, DR.. Lloyd E.
Musburger, Jamestown, N. D., told
the Minnesota State Dental associ-
alton here Thursday.
Though the exact cause of the dis
ease still is somewhat of a mystery.
dentists can successfully treat it, he
said.
If neglected." he said, "Vincent's
infection may obscure or cause other
troubles, traumatic, tubercular or
syphilitic, which may prove fatal.
Apparently, insofar as smokers hab-
itually neglect mouth hygiene, they
may become more susceptible to at
tacks, but even good hygiene does not
provide absolute immunity"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Massage instrument


Question: l.. r. writes: Recently
I saw a small instrument that is used
to stimulate the circulation by mas
saying it over the body. Wherever 1t
is rubbed over the body it makes the
skin very red. Would you approve
of such a method?"
Answer: Such massage instru-
ments are helpful in the hands Of a
skilled technician, but seldom of
much value to the layman, as he does
not know how or where to use the
instrument to accomplish systemic
results. Where it seems necessary to
stimulate the circulation to the skin
of any part, such as the face, vibra-
ton accompanied by massage and hot
and cold applications are helpful In
bringing about a better circulation
through the skin and face muscles.
CurrantS
Question: Mrs. X. asks: May
currants be used in place of raisins in
your menuS?"
Answer: Yes, especially the sweet
er varieties.
Acid in System
Question: Mrs. p. H. w. asks:
"What causes a numb, scorched-1ike
feeling on my tongue, my gums and
the top Of my mouth? If it is acid in
the system, kindly tell me II oranges
and lemons are co~unteracters Of acid.
Also, does acid in the system affect
ones eyes so that it makes one feel
as though she were going around
in circles?"
Answer: The condition often
called IAN acid system" is really due
to a reduction of the blood's alkalin-
ity. The use of citrus fruit will help
to correct this condition, principally
through stimulating the flow Of more
bile, which is an alkali. This may
also get rid of the dizziness, especially
if it is caused by biliousness.
