By Logan clendentxg, m. d.
IT IS ONE of the cheering signs
of our times that the teeth have
been recognized to be the cause
of systemic disease, and that sys-
temic disease
is recognized
to be the cause
of dental trou-
ble. |
Twenty-fi v e
or thirty years
ago, largely
because these
were two sep-
arate profes-
sions of deri-
tistry and
medicine,
these relations
were not rec-
ognized. Your
dentist may
have been on social speaking terms
with your doctor, but he was not
on; professional speaking terms. In
other words, he went his way, fix-
ing up your teeth without asking
thg doctor about it, and the doctor
tried to treat diseases without ever
looking at the teeth.
This is true no longer. The den-
tist properly regards himself as a
physician specializing on the teeth,
and the physician asks for dental
consultation quite as often as he
dods any other kind. Joint meet-
ings between medical societies and
deiital societies are regular fea-
tures of any winter's scientific pro-
gram. I have before me two pa-
pers, one written by a physician on
dental problems, and one written
by a dentist on the systemic causes
of dental disease. Both of these
were read before a joint society of
physicians and dentists.
The physician of 25 years ago
knew about as much about the
teeth as the average citizen. He
knew that an aching tooth usually
hac} to be pulled. He pulled the
temporary. teeth of his own chil-
dren’at the proper moment, taking
care to place a quarter of a dollar
under the pillow aC night In order
to co-operate with the fairies, He
obtained the best and latest tooth-
brushes and dentifrices and used
them. Nowadays he endeavors to
, see that his children get a protec-
tive diet in order to make their
teeth todgh. ,The physician was a
little ahead of the average citizen,
because he learned the date of
eruption of the temporary as well
as the permanent teeth.
Knows More
Nowadays he knows all this and
more, and is striving to co-operate
with the dentist in a campaign of
prevention rather than simply of
restorative and replacement pro-
cedures. In. this field I believe
American dentistry and medicine
are far ahead of the rest of the
; world, as American dentistry al-
ways has been. Our cousins of
the British Isles are still ^ar be-
hind us in everything that has to
do with the teeth. As one soldier
said to another during the World
war after his day of leave, *T just
kissed the prettiest girl in Scot-
land, and she had a full set of teeth
—fine, above and one below.”
A physician w*ho is looking at
teeth must think ,-of vitamin defi-
ciencies, such as' scurvy, which
might cause spongy gums and den-
tal caries. He must also think of
certain diseases of the ductless
glands, such as overproduction of
the growth hormone, and of those
deficiencies of the pituitary gland
which 'result in under-development
cf the organs of mastication, and
of diseases or infections which
lower the general vitality. He must
think of heavy metal poisoning *>y
mercury, lead, bismuth, copper, ra-
dium and. radio-active substances,
which have been taken for pur-
poses of treatment or by accidental
poisoning in other ways. He must
think of various blood diseases.
And in certain regions of the coun-
try he must think of water, which
might possibly contain excessive
fluorine, which has the power of
depositing collars of bone around
the teeth 'and causing a peculiar
mottling of the enameL $
would have been in a tragic state,
key aid the chifken however are agents of pros-
be average DeWitt county farmer, and with the
>wing at a rapid clip, they give fair promise of pro-
'farm relief” so diligently sought over the nation,
rmers of this section are concerned.

CHAPTER 31
‘ ALIX, back iifBairdsville at last,
was being driven by Bill Boyd to
the house where she was to live.
“Bill! Oh, no, they didn’t put
up an apartment- on th^e Elliot
grounds! I remember that place
| from the time I was only a baby
j and mother used to always play
] at the June concert for the
J Congregational church.” Alix was
; getting a new perspective of her
j home town.
'“More people coming into
Bainjsvkle every yea*, you know,”
said Bill. “It’s getting to be a
trading center and the mills are
doing well. Need more good homes
as wealth comes in.” *
It was getting dark and lights
winked at her from the houses set
back from the streets.
Alix felt emotional, with a new
kind of emotion, as she 6aw the
familiar .landmarks. - * .
“I’m sorry for people who have
no home town tc^go back to,” she
said more to herself than to Bill.
“There are plenty of folk here
who will be anxious to see you,”
he said before Alix realized that
! she had none of her own people
j to welcome her. “My dad wants
I you to come to supper tomorrpw
night if you can.”
Bill said supper. He was like
! that. No “airs” from him. Sup-
per in the Boyd home was a leis-
! urely meal served in a high ceil-
inged room at a table beautifully
appointed and perfectly served in
the candlelight.
i “Oh, Bill, I’d love to,” She an-
swered gratefully.
» “He wanted me to bring you to-
night but I said you’d be tired."
'i “I, am,” she said wearily, spent
not with the fatigue of travel but
1 the strangeness of all this.
I \ “Then, Margie King—she mar-
; ried Cyril Flount—says she wants
I you to call her up as soon as you
can. And the Biraey.twins—say,
[you'd never know them now for
fthey’re skinny as rails and they
[used to be like butterballs—will be
around to call as soon as you want
them.”
By the time they drove up be-
fore Miss Ellis’ house, Alix was
glad for the darkness that en-
folded them. Alix didn't want'Bill
to see the warm tears that spilled
out of her eyes. She touched
them with the tinge# of her white
'doeskin glove. She hadn’t thought
fshe could feel that way, that she
could feel at all. John Sayre was
far away from her now but she
[didn't let herself think of him.
! The spotless white of Miss Ellis’
house showed its wide, generous
proportions, the cupolas, and tur-
rets against the dark sky. A mel-
low yellow light winked’from the
door with welcoming warmth,
j The dqor was flung open as they
approached and Alix's first view of
her new home'showed a wide hall
with a mahogany rail outlining
the circular curve of a white stair-
case. Then she saw the carved
’chair, the grandfather’s clock, the
sampler on the wall and the worn
Persian rug on a gleaming floor.

ground was the tall, lean, black

“Well, I guess I’ll go along and

Alix, have a good sleep and in Die
morning telephone me when you

Then he left.
“This is your room,” Miss Lizzie
led Alix into the big room at the
second floor front.
’“Now you hang up you* things

Alix said she was hungry and
meant it for the first time in many
months.
She ate a generous portion of
chicken pie and didn't reftise the
gingerbread and whipped cream
that was only one of three des-
serts.
She sat back contented, vveU-
fed, and regarded her hostess.
