FIVE MINUTES' ADVICE ON THE TEETH.
FIVE minutes is about as long as anybody should be permitted to give advice. In that time, every thing can be said that ought to be said, more especially on the subject of the Teeth. Probably all that need be advised, is written here. It is not much : we think we could say all that is necessary on the subject of the teeth in three lines. Wash and brush them after every meal, and at night and morning : if they ache, take a dose of aperient medicine : if they decay, either stop them with gold—or, extract them. It is quite unnecessary at any time to write chapters on the "Value and Importance of the Teeth." They who neglect their mouths, in- sure the decay of their teeth, and invariably disgust their friends, and mayhap diminish the force of nearer ties. Sound this into the ears of old and young, and it will perhaps be found more es- sential than any thing here ; though we are far from denying that the little work has sense and truth in it.
