CARE OF THE TEETH.

Desirable as sound teeth are, there is no part of the bodies of young children that is so much neglected by parents. Scarcely one child in a hundred has regular, sound teeth, and the proportion of those that are covered to a greater or less extent with an unpleasant looking coating is equally great. The daily use of the brush, without any other dentifrice than pure white castille soap, the removal of a tooth or two, would, in most instances, not only give whiteness, but regularity, both combining to greatly enhance beauty. An offensive breath is often remedied by a careful attention to the teeth and thoroughly washing and rinsing the mouth after each meal in water in which a few drops of tincture of myrrh is put.
