A link between pyorrhea and scurvy has been forced at the laboratories labor-atories of the Harvard dental den-tal school here. Drs. Paul bSoylo and David Weisberer have under way research which indicates that a lack of vitamin C in the diet may be the cause of or at least a contributing factor to pyorrhea pyor-rhea just as this vitamin C has Ion;! been known to cause scurvy. - While the thuliums are yet Incomplete Incom-plete they Indicate, say the scientists, scien-tists, that ns f.ir us the Keuenil practitioner is concerned vitamin C treatment for pyorrhea "can bo adopted with safety nnd it probably should be adopted as a routine measure in addition to, but not In place of. other reeotjnLcd forms of therapy." Humans ami Oulneii rigs. The Harvard dentists have been workini; with both animals and humans hu-mans in their studies. Guinea piys wore fed diets varying In their vitamin vita-min C content and later checked to see the decree of pyorrhea which they developed. X-ray and microscopic micro-scopic examinations of these animals ani-mals showed all the characteristics of the true pyorrhea in reproducible form. Forty-elht human patients were studied In the dental school where their degree of pyorrhea symptoms were compared with the content of vitamin C In their blood. Twenty-three Twenty-three patients with a low vitamin C blood content had marked evidence of the disease. Ten patients with a reduced vitamin C blood content showed the gum disease but to a lesser extent than the first group. Among; fifteen patients with normal vitamin C blood content only one case had the disease. These human findings, it Is em-phasircd. em-phasircd. are not conclusive but they do o:Ter a most consistently positive finding in cases of the advanced disease. Dr. Weisberger Indicated. Use of Vitamin C Relatively Safe. To the layman and the average dental practitioner the research has three significant points: (1) The new test of vitamin C in the blood as employed is not practical for a dental ofhee and will probably j largely be confined to hospitals. (2) i The suggested use cf vitamin C is ' a relatively safe procedure, for most experts agree the body can j handle an overdose easily. This is j not true with vitamin D. (3) The i improvement in the mouth tissues, j around the teeth, which occurs when j vitamin C is administered indicates the practical value of the treatment. Vitamin C, found naturally in limes and lemons principally, is also I available in tablet form as ascorbic j acid or cevitamic acid. To maintain main-tain the normal amount of vitamin C in the blood a daily intake of 50 milligrams is sufficient I V ;mic Ray Balloon V icked to Earth an Airplane . ishington.

' Only 81 Wiscnt, or European Bison Are Known to Be Alive Berlin. In striking contrast con-trast to the now seemingly-assured seemingly-assured survival of American Ameri-can buffalo, or bison, is the still precarious status of the European bison, or wisent. There are only 84 head of pure-blooded animals left, a summarizing study of the International Society for the Preservation of Wisent shows. Yet scientists interested in the great shaggy animals are not discouraged, dis-couraged, for recent years have shown at least a slight gain in numbers. num-bers. In addition to the pure-bloods, there are a good many hybrid wisent, wi-sent, results of crosses with American Amer-ican bison. Ey a process called "elimination breeding," in which only pure-blooded bulls are used with hybrid cows, the proportion of bison blood is being reduced in the hybrid stock, so that eventually these will be almost full-blooded wisent wi-sent also. Before the World war there used to be a large herd in the Russian Caucasus and another in Poland. During the war and the confused period afterwards, these animals were all killed by distressed populations popu-lations needing food at any terms.
