HEAD, JOSEPH. Everyday mouth hygiene. il *$1 Saunders 613.4
20–1616
The author, dentist to the Jefferson hospital, Philadelphia, sounds a serious note of warning against imperfectly cleaned teeth, which, through infection, cause “directly or indirectly one-half of the fatal diseases.” Rheumatism, heart disease, ulcer of the stomach and many other fatal diseases can be reduced fifty per cent if decay of the teeth and gum infection are stayed. How this can be done the book tells minutely in word and picture. It contains besides some closing remarks on the irregularity of children’s teeth and has an index.
