Pyorrhea And What Can Be Done for It

However, this in by no means the case. What really happens In py orrhea is that there is some Inflam mation of the gums and « separa tloo of them from the teeth so that pockets form.

Those young people will laer work in such farflung home lands as Turkey, China. Iceland. Egypt and the South American republics. Such contacts lead to Increased use of American products aboard, and in general stimulate foreign trade. Such spreading of the American way of life to other countries through youth of those countries Is indeed a sound framework for tin- growth of friendly understanding toward th> United States. The trade and commerce value U great but the good will results are vastly more significant. .. 3 -<» o New York is probably the only late in the union that has a rent control law, the law being pan M-d by the legislature last March. H'-re in Indiana, Governor Gates considered calling a special session of the state assembly to pass similar legislation. In the meantime he has been advised that a special rent control act will be approved by Congress, retroactive to July 1, which will solve the rent problems for the slates. These stories about boosting rents to abnormal peaks are the exception. If an apartment rented for |3O a month and a landlord boosted It to 3300, a renter would have Io be obtained before any profit would secure. In other words we don’t see why anyone would pay such an exorbitant rental.

— • the development of the condition. Pyorrhea occurs most often during the uuddle-agx period. Pale Gums In pyorrhea the gums appear pale and shrunken, in between the gums and the teeth there are deep pockets. Practi ally ail of the teeth are effected. There is some wasting of the jawbone around the teeth and the teeth are loose. Thick, infected material may come from the pockets. An X-ray examination is help ful in making a diagnosis. The treatment is best carried out under iht directions of a specialist, gccording to Dr. J. I). Hamilton JainitMon of Kdlnburgh. However, the treatment is always lengthy. He suggests that those with py-

orrhea avoid the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, extremely hoi or cold foods and highly seasoned ones. The next step in the treatment is the removal by the dentist ot all sources of Irritation such as tartar, hopelessly loose teeth and rough edges on crowns or on I fillings. The patient is given a mouth I wash mad*- up of a soap solution . with hydrogen peroxide. This is used lot at least two minutes after each meal.

Fisher said Walker was u pat- ( lent at the hospital several times ( In the last lit years.

A federal grand Jury indicated four attendants at the hospital on charges of cruelty to patients. 1 They were named on counts which included striking patients with soaked sheets and throwing lighted cigarettes In their mouths. Mrs. Walker told the sheriff that Walker's aged father. William Walker of Churubnaco. Ind., visit I rd his son on July 3rd and suggest-: ed to her that she return him to ■ the Marlon hospital because he : was a tremendous care. "When I told him yestetday. he got mad and broke a Imltle of wine,” Mrs. Walter recounted, "he begged for me to shoot him." "I got Ilia shotgun from a clos< t ’ and load it. He was silting dn the I bed but rolled 011 his side. I stood ! near his head and pulled the trigger." she said. "Goodbye, mon.” Mrs. Walker said he muttered. The bullet entered the pit of his stomach, the sheriff said. Mrs. Walker said she laid down on a davenport and slept for several hours before calling her son by a former marriage, Lawrence Wolfe, who called the sheriff. Mrs. Walker said she and her husband had "had several drinks of wine to celebrate the fourth." Earlier in the evening. Walker had fired the shotgun through the window into the backyard "Just to celebrate," she said. Fisher said Mrs. Walker, “a fast- 1 talking woman" had made several "changes" in her story" "I don't think thia is the true story,” the sheriff said. 0 The man who shout* the ioudist is not always the most patriotic.

Her words went through Corbett’s ears without touching his brain. Numbness had begun to crawl through him, In which the one thing alive was his craving for liquor.
