Powders aro generally injurious to tho enamel, and so ure thc much advertised liquid mixtures. Strong acids, like lemon june, 8rc destruc tive, und mingling of hot and cold food ur drink ut meals is very harmful. Use, however, on lund, nutritious food, like well baked Graham bread and crackerp, pro motes tooth growth; while soft, wotcry food tends to weaken thc teeth., It is novf the opinion of leading dentists in Europo and this country that thc reason thcro is so much tooth decay in carly life is in o targe degree owing to tho soft materials given to children as food, which arc swallowod with scurec'y any chewing. On tho appoaranoo of decay u dentist should bo employed. Much toothache is due to indi jcstioil and constitutional debility, and much so-called "neuralgia" may bo traced to decned, curcus teeth. Care in tho matter of diet und watchfulness with regard to tho coudie lion of thc teeth, would save people a rast deal of suffering und expenso.
