Show Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains. An English scientist has pointed out that there are signs of a steady degeneracy de-generacy in two sets of organs vital to the well being of the human race, and the fall is most marked among the western nations. The evidence is that, coincident wth the mental advance of man, there has-been a diminution in the provision of teeth. In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth aro inversely proportional to efficiency. Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; disorders of digestion di-gestion show that the balance is unsatisfactory. |
