canker sores are of sufficient i'm.
portance to engage their atten-
ton, or much more likely, they are
silent because they do not know
anything about the subject.
Canker sores hurt out Of all
proportion to their size, which
makes one believe they are simply
fever blisters on the inside of the
mouth, or on the surface of the
tongue, because fever blisters are
due, not TO local damage to the
skin or mucous membrane, but are
caused by a disturbance of the
nervous ganglia.
Supplies Phosphates
The treatment which has been
recommended by a dentist in Ann
Arbor, Michigan, who has given
me the benefit of his experience
by correspondence, is as follows:
THE use of dicalcium phosphate
and purified bone phosphate,
equal parts. These are put up in
lozenges of Is grains each, and
four are given daily, half that
amount to children. With the use
Of these, soreness will disappear
very rapidly and healing will be-
gin within "a hours"
The theory upon which it is
based is that the scores are asso-
ciated with periods of phosphate
loss in the body.

nat IS VACATION typnOlQ! How
much has pasteurization Of milk
prevented typhoid fever?
Vacation typhoid is the name
that has been given to the typhoid
fever you get from polluted spring
waters and brooks from which va
cationists are so apt to drink. No
body can be sure about the purity
of water. The only way to be GER
tain to avoid typhoid fever is to
have a vaccination. Pasteurizing
milk kills the germs causing ty-
phoid fever. In New York City
where there are about 800 cases
OF typhoid year, no case has
been traced to pasteurized milk.
