Page 132 - Orris root or a little wintergreen added gives a pleasant flavor, but in no way improves the chalk. At least a quart of tepid water should be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoonful of Listerine in half a glass of water used as a wash and gargle after meals is excellent; it is good for sore or loose gums; it sweetens the mouth and is a valuable antiseptic, destroying promptly all odors emanating from diseased gums and teeth. Coarse, hard brushes and soapy dentifrices cause the gums to recede, leaving...

Page xxxvi - In Panopepton we present to the profession a new, complete and perfect peptone, one which we are confident will meet every requirement.

Panopepton is therefore the quintessence of peptones, containing all the nutrients of these two great types of food, beef and bread, fused into a delicious restorative. The superiority of peptones from cooked...

Page 132 - ... apt to have an unwholesome effect upon the dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and dentifrices that foam in the mouth ; the lather is a sure sign of soap, and soap injures the gums, without in any way cleansing the teeth. The very best powder is of precipitated chalk ; it is absolutely harmless and will clean the enamel without affecting the gums. Orris root or a little wintergreen added gives a pleasant flavour, but in no way improves the chalk.
Page xxiv - ... little odor, persisting, accompanied by profuse hemorrhage, indicates fibroids ; with little or no hemorrhage, polypi. Profuse bloody discharges coming on gradually with declining menstruation, ceasing usually with the menstrual flow, point to fibroids. Persistent profuse discharges of blood occurring spontaneously, arising from sudden exercise or coition, occurring, as a rule, after the menopause, indicate cancer.
Page xl - DEATH AS IT is. — Perhaps the most common mistake of the lay mind is the association of the dramatic with the conception of death. Nothing is more common than to hear from the pulpit pictures in words of excitement, of alarm, of terror, of the deathbeds of those who have not lived religious lives ; yet, as a rule, if these pictures are supposed to be those of the unfortunates at the moment of death, they are utterly false.
