easy.
Rules for Treatment
A dentist connected with a large
industrial plant has these rules
for treatment:
!. Observe complete dish, glass
and silvcrware isolation. Boil
dishes for three to five minutes in
soap and water.
.. Eat and drink only from
paper dishes and cups in public
restaurants.
). Throw away toothbrush and
do not brush teeth until told to
do so.
4. Eat plenty of green lcafy
vegetables. Force fluids, juices and
milk.
o. Use mild, antiseptic mouth
wash every hour.
g. Use cathartic or an enema
to keep the bowels regular.
z. Make regular visits to dental
clinic.
s. Permit no girl with Vinccnt's
infection to handle food or dishes
in the kitchen.

FOR A while it was called
"trench mouth and it may be-
called acute pyorrhca. Technically
IL is called NinCcnt's infection.
after The French bactcriologist
who discovered the germs which
Henderson daily dispatch., 1943-09-20

cause it. 1t is an Inflammation of
the gums, especially near the
tooth margin and beginning with
rcdneSs and swelling and n little
puS formation; 1t can 20 OH to
local gangrene and considerable
tissue loss.
II is caused by two germs which
arc nearly always found together
one is Il bacillus and one "A long,
curly spirillum. One of them or a
combination of them is Il natural
Tangrcne producer and that is
where the trouble begins.
When it is said that the condi-
tion is due to infection with these
germs, the statement leaves out
another factor, perhaps two that
are really more important than
the presence of the germs them
selves. Because from everyone's
mouth-no matter how clean and
hcalthy-it is possible to culture
some Vincent germs. They arc on
the surface Of the gums or teeth
and do no harm until they pene-
traie the tissues and this penetra-
ton Is due to lowering of bodily
resistance, perhaps poor diet. The
other possible factor is that YOU
are used to your own Vincent
germs, but if you happen to get
someone clsc's in your mouth YOU
are liable to trouble. Lowered
bodily tone then and cross infcc-
ton are the important factors in
acquiring the disease.
Increase in Disease
1t would be natural in view of
these factors to suppose that ut
the present time there would be
an increase in the amount of eases
with Ninccnt'S infection. Great
numbers of the population are
crowded together in war plants,
they are living in crampcd GUAR
tiers, they are subject to fatigue,
they get what kinds Of food they
can, they eat off plates and with
knives, forks and spoons that are
often not adequately clcansd after

Mr.. Smith, Sr. sat down and wrote a

with a notice that Anton would go to Jail

So, in a helpless mood father and son
went TO the local draft board where a uniform
would be issued.
Anton began admiring the guns as soon

Guard seemed like great adventure TO him
His name was called He stepped up to be
