There is no doubt that the teeth occupy an eminent place in the world of beauty. And it is a crime to begrudge them your full attention, quite apart from the grave position they hold in determining the state of one's health. The books of anatomy have said that when the teeth go wrong, they bring upon their owner unbearable ailments and afflictions: among them, disorder of the digestive system, poisoning, headache, and the nervous breakdown that follows from them.
Thus it has become incumbent on every person not to neglect the matter of his teeth. Here are some counsels on how to preserve them:
1 - You must have your teeth examined by the doctor at least twice a year.
2 - Clean your teeth first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Better still, clean them after every meal. And eat nothing after the evening cleaning.
3 - Use a small brush with stiff, well-spaced bristles.
4 - Brush your teeth for five minutes, cleaning them thoroughly on every side, and pass the brush from the gums over the teeth, not from side to side.
5 - Make your cleaning include the inner surfaces of the teeth, for if deposits of acidified saliva accumulate between them and are left there a long while, it becomes impossible for you to be rid of them easily.
6 - Choose yourself a toothpaste of the good kinds.
7 - Rinse your mouth well with salt water morning and evening - a teaspoon of salt in a glass of lukewarm water.
8 - Gargle with salt water to clean the throat, the tongue, and the tonsils.
of these two regions have busied themselves with diving to the depths of the sea to gather the pearl-bearing shellfish every year, from the most ancient times down to our own age, beginning in the month of June and lasting to the end of the summer season. Hundreds of boats and ships set out each year for the home waters of these creatures, every ship supplied with the necessary divers and diving gear — still the very same their ancient forefathers used. A single ship remains two weeks on its voyage, then returns to its base, its divers having gathered a great quantity of these pearl-bearing shellfish. When they reach shore they set about extracting the pearls, of which there may be more than one in the body of a single creature — or there may be nothing at all. The most famous world market for pearls is the city of Bombay in India, to which
the pearl merchants come from all parts of the world. The strange thing, Madam, is that you may spend a matter of years searching for the pearls suited to complete a pearl necklace, or to find a single pearl to match one in your possession from which you wish to fashion a pair of precious earrings. And stranger still, pearls by their nature do not take kindly to being kept and stored away, for they lose their splendor and the beauty of their color — as though their tongue were saying: I wish to display my beauty and my radiance always, to put to shame with them the beauty of the other gems and jewels. So do not hide me, Madam, from all eyes, but display me always upon your neck or upon your wrist, that I may exchange beauty and enchantment with your tender skin, and take from it what keeps me ever radiant, and add to your enchantment enchantment and splendor.
