444444 4 44 + 444 + 4 4 CHILDREN'S TEETH. 4 ♦ 4 4 Letter to Parents of Indiana from 4 4 the State Board of Health. 4 + 4 4 You wish to have your children 4 ♦ grow up with healthy minds, 4 4 helthy bodies and healthy souls. 4 ' 4 Are you doing all you can to se- 4 4 cure these blessings? You know 4 4 many things may be done. Etcr- 4 (4 nal vigilance is the price of lib- 4 !4 erty and it is also the price of 4 :♦ health. 4 |4> The care of the teeth is most 4 4 important to keep a child 4 4* healthy. Neglect of these organs 4 4- amounts to an assault. Indeed, 4 4 child neglect of any character is 4 4 assault upon the child and should 4 4 be punished as such. 4 4- When a mother's attention 4 4 was called to the fact that her 4 4 four badly-nourished, tallow- 4 4 skinned, foul-breathed children 4 4 had rotten teeth and the teeth 4 4 most probably were the cause, 4 4 said —“Oh! I had them rotten 4 4 teeth when I was little and they 4 4 didn’t kill me.” And this fool- 4 4 ish reply will be made r’ne out 4 4> of ten times. 4 4* The mouth of t|ie infant should 4 ♦ be carefully washed within an 4 4 hour after birth, and then at- 4 4> tended to carefully every day 4 4 until life ends. To neglectfully 4 4 starve a child would be consid- 4 4- ered horrible, yet this is done 4 4 when teeth are neglected. Os 4 4 caurse death starvation is not es- 4 4 fected, but partial starvation is, 4 4 and partial starvation shrinks * 4 the body, the mind and soul. In 4 4 an actual experiment when teeth 4 +• and mouths were made healthy 4 4> there was a mental improvement 4 4 progress in studies) of 100%, 4 4 and one little girl, whose health 4" , 4 had been criminally neglected by 4 ' 4 her parents, made a gain of 44% 4 : 4> Six children were made able to 4 4 complete the usual thirty-six 4 4 weeks’ work of the eighth grade 4 I 4 in twenty-four weeks. All of the 4 4 children in the experiment in 4 4 creased in weight, in mental 4 ' 4 strength, general health and hap- 4 4 piness. This is known as the 4 4 Ebersole-Von Castle experiment 4 4 made at the Marion school in 4 4 Cleveland. 4

4 No one can have good health 4 4 without good nutrition, and good 4 4 nutrition is impossible when 4 , 4 teeth are decayed and mouth is 4 1 4 not clean. The State Board of 4 ,4 health fi ;ds that ftut less than 4 4 65% of the school children have 4 4 diseased ' tooth and unclean 4 4 mouths. What must be the to- 4 4 lai of disease, suffering, ineffi- 4 4 eiency and unhappiness forced 4 [ 4 upon those innocents by their 4 4 parents? Again—how long will 4 4 this assault upon Indiana chil- 4 4 dren continue? 4 4 The State Board of Health 4 4 pleads with the parents of the 4 4 state to no longer neglect the 4 4 duty they owb to God, their chil- 4 4 dren. themselves, and the state, 4 4of securing to their progeny 4 4 healthy teeth and clean mouths. 4 4 To rear children in health, 4 4 more things must be done than 4 4 earing fur the teeth and these 4 4 are told in a pamphlet issued by 4 4 the State Board which will be 4 4 sent free to any one requesting 4 4 the same. Our special leaflet on 4 4 the teeth will also be supplied 4 4 free to all who may want it. 4 44444 4 444444444

HOW SOLDIER DISPERSED ATTACKS “For two years my stomach trouble was very bad, my doctor had to inject morphine on several occasions when I was stricken with these attacks. Since taking 4 bottles of Mayr's Wonerful Remedy I have been entirely well and am serving in the artillery, having been pronounced in perfect health by government physicians.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes tiie catarrhal ' mucus from the intertinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
