By GRANDMOTHER CLARK By DR. R. ALLEN GRIFFITH DENTAL PAIN KILLING ; cut-ou- 'T'HE fear of pain Is mans heritage. An American dentist reduced that heritage forever by making the first practical use of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as an anesthetic. Anesthesia really, was discovered on December 11, 1844, by Horace Wells, a dentist of Hartford, Conn., when- he offered himself as a possible martyr to suffering humanity, by inhaling nitrous oxide and having a tooth extracted. In January, 1845, Doctor Wells took his discovery to Boston and operated before the medical college. He was ridiculed and pronounced a fraud. The wise men of Boston pointed the finger of mockery and cried humbug," determined to break upon the rocks of derision any man from the country who supposed the wise men of the city dlculous enough to believe his story. Dentists in their eagerness to relieve human suffering and pain, have for years successfully used local anesthetics such as cocaln and novocain. In later years they have developed the use of a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen, the' safest general anesthetic .known. The death rate from nitrous oxide and oxygen is estimated at one In a million, against one in thirty' thousand in ether. Dentistrys latest gift to suffering mankind is conductive anesthesia or nerve blocking, by which the area controlled, by. a nerve is rendered insensible to pain. Surgery is now able to perform major . operations such as laparotomies and amputations by Injecting. the. nerve .trunks with novocain. What would be mans fear and dread of dental and surgical operations without the gracious sleep of anesthesia? The dentist has succeeded in taking the dent" out of dentistry. Where an individual suffers from pain in his teeth, it is his own fault The modern dentist has so many ways of relieving pain that no one need to suffer from their teeth. His latest and greatest gift to humanity, however, is the prevention of systemic disease through the proper care of the teeth. Proper dental care will not only prevent pain and preserve the teeth but will preserve general health as well. ts RUSSIAN INEFFICIENCY The Russian army was so poorly that unarmed equipped In 1915-1men had to be sent into the trenches to wait until their comrades were kilied or wounded and their rifles become available. 6 GGS QpsoaEHjQGnfim to a cup o flour for most recipes.

Do you see a clean, healthy mouth and a row of pearls, or a neglected oral cavity with decaying, uncared-fo- r teeth? The mucous membrane of the mouth is highly resistant to the invasion of bacteria. If this were not true, we would all be in constant trouble from mouth infections, for It is easy to demonstrate that every mouth in any civilized community contains a great variety of bacteria, most of them of highly virulent strains. During the past few years it has been the practice to remove the but to overlook their source of infection, the teeth. Let us see how the tonsils become Infected. The substance of healthy tonsils Is composed of small nodules of lymphatic tissues arranged In groups of 12 to 15 crypts and connective tissue, blood, vessels and a few nerve fibers. From the crypts numerous follicles branch out Into the substance of the tonsil by means of irregular channels. While' well protected from the yet, because of their peculiar construction and the numerous lymphatic plexuses and crypts, they are ideal that Incubators for may once succeed In penetrating the lymph channels. The lymphatic vessels of the gums terminate in the sub-axilary glands. The lymphatic vessels leading from the plexuses surrounding the tonsilar crypts also pass1 to the submaxllary glands. It is therefore readily seen that bacteria may pass almost directly from the gum margins to the tonsils. Bacteria passing into; the lymph, channels may easily pass on to the tonsils and be enormously multiplied, both in number and virulence, and be passed through' the submaxillary glands to the deep cervical glands, and finally on to other parts of the body without the surface of the tonsil even being disturbed. This is why the removal of the tonsils, while immediately helpful, does not always remove the source of the trouble. The same condition still remains, and operation after operation frequently succeed each other as the. lowered resistance of some other point causes it to become infected. If the teeth are properly cared 'for first, and the crypts of the tonsils carefully cleaned out, the tonsils may frequently be saved. In any event the teeth should be the first consideration.
