American Dentist in Europe.

But let me tell you about the American dentist in the European war. The hospital physician told me that he noticed early in his war work that many of the soldiers were suffering from toothache more than from their wounds. So every wounded man was examined by a dentist before he was taken to the ward, It was discovered that a large percentage of the men <fflbm the trenches had swollen gums, and that by treating their mouths they were cured and ready for the front ten days earlier than in cases where their teeth were allowed to go. The English, he said, had the worst teeth, the Arabs the best. —"Here and There in Battle-Scarred France,” Peter MacQueen, in National Magazine.
