HYGIENIC CARE OF THE PERSON IMPORTANCE OF OBSERVING SIMPLE RULES OF HEALTH Organs Must Have Play-Tight Clothes Prevent This, Are Harm ful-Right and Wrong Meth ods of Respiration Care of Teeth. The following is the second paper of a series of ar-ieles prepared for publication by the eommittee on hy10i ene and legislation of the South 'Caro lina Medical Society: One would indeed be considered foolish should he pay no attentio. to the mechanism, movemetr and care of a piece of machinery of great value and of intricate and delicate con struction which had been intrustel to his care. Such A piece of machin ery is the human body, the perfect working of which depends upon the harmonious action and care of its several parts yet there is proBably no one of our possessions of the struure of which the ordinary per son is more ignorant and to whiel less attention and care is paid. This ignorance of structure and physiolog ical action of the body on the part of the majority of people is due to the fact that anatomy and physiology are. not taught in our schools; and few of us afterward, because-of the hurry and bustle of life, have the time or inclinition to acquire this knowledge. The head of ti bv or gi is filled with a smatteixag of brek and Latin or ~Geinn anIF ichV ihd intricate arithmetical and keometical probf' lems, while.he grows up in ignorance of the composition of the clay of which he is made; and because of this ignorance abuses and lets others abuse the casket that contains his soul. The care of the body is called per sonal hygiene, and the object of this p;per is to attempt to set forth brief ly some of the best means of develop ing and niaintaining physical and mental vigor. The body is made up of various organs and tissues. The .more-important of these will be taken up in~ turn and suggestions made as to their care. Care of the Teeth. The alimentary canal extends from the mouth to the anus, and in all is about twenty-seven to thii-ty feet in length,. Each of the several.portions of this canal has. its function to per- : form and the proper performance of function depends largely upon what has occurred previously to the food. e For instance, the objet of the teethd is to properly masticate the food and ti of the stomach to digest certain kinds of food; it is obviously impossible s for the stomach to properly perform its function if the food is bolted be fore having been ground up. Many tl cases of chronie digestion result from b improper mastication, due to faulty ~ dentition and inattention to the teeth. t] The care of the teeth then, is im portant, and this care. should be be- be gun in infancy and early childhood. t Deformities of the teeth and jaw in n many cases is produced by the perni- t cious habit of "thumb-sucking" in children or the use of the "comfort- re gre This latter is condemned by all hygienists. ,A common cause of de- , formity is noticed in "mouth-breath- b gea."

Such children should be takpn to their physician for is not only may the jaw become deform- te ed, but deafness and mental torpor at result. It is hardly necessary to call di attention to the necessity of the fre quent use of the -tooth-brush, yet how h often do we see this practice neglec ted. The cause of decay in teeth is r primarily bacterial. The only way to prevent it is by the frequent use of g th tooth-br~ush and powder which i prevents the lodgement of these bac- in teria. When decay occurs the soon- l' ei- the teeth afe attended to the bet ter. Good Ohel- a FMiior.
