 WHAT | DON'T KNOW ABOUT
 TEETH
 An obscure dentist sends mo pages torn from a throw-Away pub@ llcasion. containing a characteristic. ally scurrllous attack on me and my teachings. The mincing little man suggests that { should attend a dental school for. say, Q year before l try to teach the public about care of the teeth.
 Don't misunderstand me. con. cede there are Q few things. quite a few, that don't know about den. tlstry. In fact I imagine it would pe easier to mention the things I do know about dentistry. One thing I do know about it is that the science of dentistry is far. far be. hind the art, SO far as tic rank and file are concerned. mean that you would do well Co temper your admiration for the technical skin of the dentist in designing, constructing and installing inlays crowns. bridges and the Ike witn due consideration for his shortcom" ings as a doctor.
 This Is no petty quibble. As ap illustration of the medical short cngnlnRs of the average dentist there Is the case of the girl tagged 2D whose plight was described in the talk here the other day entitled ''Consplracy Against Happiness. She had had a lot Of trouble wi'h her teeth, spent a great deal Of money on them. but her family den- tlst had been able to save most oI them for her. Now there vas Wnat I call a good dentist. She married. moved down to another city. became pregnant, had more trouble with the teeth. The new dentist. having fiiied d few teeth. evidently wanted to go fishing or something, for next thing she knew he had persuaded the poor girl to let him extract five teeth. Now there was what ! caIl a--cant print the right word for it.
 But that is just warming up for the crime to follow. With the loss of five teeth the unfortunate young woman cf course began 10 age rapidly. as must any one who mas but seventeen teeth. all front teeth left to chew with. AS soon as she was old enough SO that she could no longed put up a fight in sell defense. the wretched dentist and the stingy husband urged her to have ALL of her remaining teeth extracted, as that would require on. iy one or two visits to the dentist and save the husband the extra carefare etc.
 Don't think I'm eyaggcrating the enormity of this crime of depriyinR unwary customers of all their teeth Tt is a shameful and scandalous kind Of malpractice and those re- sponsible for tt, whether they be dentists, doctors or laymen ought 70 be made to suffer the penalty.
 And the layman. particularly the WiseacTe layman, needs to wake from his nineteenth century nap and get some modern ideas into hls head. concerning the value Of each and every tooth dentistry can possi- ply save. in building, and maintain. ing health, vite. happiness. lons' evity.
