THURSDAY, MARCH 10th, 1938. WWW A HEALTH SERVICE 07 tn: CANADIAN MEDIC Assocurlou AND mi IN‘UIANCE com-Am IN CANADA PYORRHOEA John Hunter, the famous English surgeon of the eighteenth century, was among the first, if not actually the first, to point out the damage which arose in other parts of the body as a result of infections in the mouth. 0f recent years, rather startling advertisements have directed public attention to pyorrho‘ea, which is one of the most common ills of mankind, even if it is an exaggeration to say that “four out of five have it.” More teeth are lost because of pyorrhoea than from decay. Pyorrhoea is a disease of the gums which surround and suppoin the teeth. It is not new disease, as evidence of its ravages is found in skulls of prehistoric times. In occurs“ in all lands, among all races and in both sexes. The normal healthy gums are pink in colour. firm in texture and cling closely to the necks of the teeth. forming little pink points of tissue which project between the teeth. The first step to pyorrhoea is 'gingivitis or inflammation of the 'gums. This shows itself by the gums becoming tender and bleeding. readily. After a time, the gums shrink, the necks of the teeth are exposed and it is at this stage, with 'the formation of pus, that we have real pyorrhoea. The trouble apparently originates‘ in! any condition which, by irritat- ing the gums, sets up an inflamma- tion. Tartar which collects around the teeth will, unless removed per- iodically, act as an irritant. Tartar is most prevalent on the teeth close 'to the openings of the salivary glands, which means the inner surâ€" face of the lower front teeth and the outer surfaces of the upper back teeth. Poor dental work leads to irrita- tion. A poor bite due to irregular By Emily Jeff felt let-down, more even than when his job with the insurance company failed some weeks before. Something pressed down, was nagg- ing for release; some decision trying to reach the surface of his think And if he (lid yield to the pressure this would mean long separation, if not a permanent break with Sally. He opened the door of his moth~ er‘s home and called greetings, try- ing to appear cheerful and confident. Alice, his little sister came flying to meet him. ‘ “Oh, Jeff, Sally called up to say ithat supper on the beach would be at seven and you should get there fa little earlier. Can I go too?” i “W'ait a moment â€"â€" wait a momâ€" ent," Jeff begged. Mrs, Shephard came from the wide side of thc iporch. “Come in here, Jeff," she ‘invited. “It’s really cool.” “Coolest place I‘ve struck to-day,” ,he said, sinking into a chair. 5 “Any success dear?" she asked af- ,tcr a silence. 1 “No, but V yet.” “I should say not.” vigorously. “It’s only that a man doesn’t want 'to wait too long before he finds his place in the world.” “At 24,” his mother began again “Oh Jeff, the I’m not discouraged :When Alice interrupted. .old Bill was in to-day from farm.” “He was," Mrs. Shephard took up the story. “Said he’d like to talk to you. but couldn’t wait.

I’ve written to Mr. Bradley of your father’s old firm to see if he could possibly take you on." “Jeff swallowed hard. “Thoughtful of you, Mother.” “And Mr. Bradley has made an appointment to >90 you on Friday at ll." “I’ll go in and see him.” So on Friday at 11 Jeff sat opâ€" posite Mr. Bradley and :irswcrcd questions. At last Mr. Bradley came directly to the point, “Jeff,” he said. “the chances are slim for taking you on just now; but I want to do what I can for you, if only for your father’s sake, though I know you have a good background of college and hard work. Your father was a valuable man here.” Jeff did not answer. His father was still a living figure to him. “And so,” Mr. Bradley concluded, “come in and see me again within a month or so.” Outside the familiar feeling of weight despite the successful inter- view settled on him. He would do what he longed to do, what would mean: more to him than any other job in the world. Work the farm um 1 Then SAND â€" GRAVEL $ WM.
