to the mouth, eat through the bone, and appear on the gum like a small lentil; and some remain latent upon the roots within their sac, and this is what we call

a blind abscess (Blind Abcess). This may sleep in its place for years, unfelt in the way of pain or ache, but it breathes out its poisons to wherever they settle and begin their deadly work; and the patient knows nothing until one of his eyes has reddened — it may pain him or it may not, and these symptoms return to him from time to time — or until there is a pain in the soles of his feet or in the joints of his hands; and he knows no cause for all this save the well-worn saying: medicine was baffled, so they said, 'It is nerves.'

A girl in the bloom of youth had borne grievous pains and been given all manner of treatments and medicines, but to no avail. I was called to treat her molars while she lay bedridden, unable to make the slightest movement, and I found in her mouth four molars whose nerves had been killed and which had been filled in the customary ways; those dangerous circles had settled upon the roots, sending their dangerous radiations at that poor victim. The four molars were extracted, and it was not long before the girl was cured...

I know a man of middle age who complained of pain in one of his eyes, with a white film over the dark of the eye. He went to an eye specialist and laid his case before him; he was given treatment, and pain and film vanished together. At the very same time the fol-lowing year the man complained to his doctor of the selfsame first symptoms, and in vain the doctor tried to cure him with all sorts of medicines; so he in turn referred him to me, that I might examine his molars, and the aforemen-tioned symptoms proved to be the result of an abscess in one of the

molars of his lower jaw, and they vanished after its extraction.

A lady entered one of the great hospitals to be treated for a disease we call bint al-hara in one of her legs; after a period of treatment she was cured of her disease and returned home. After a while the same disease came back, and she returned to the hos-pital for treatment until she was cured — and so on to the third time. Then her doctor asked me to examine her molars, and her disease proved to come from two abscesses in her teeth. There are many examples like these which there is no room to mention now.

There are certain doctors who hold a theory different from this one and follow the well-worn saying, 'Pull the tooth and pull its ache.' I am prepared to bring forward names and offer several proofs to establish the first theory and condemn the second — for what we fear in the second case is the sending of the infection to

all parts of the body by the blood-stream, and there lies the great catastrophe. If we follow the easy road, clear of every danger threatening our lives, and arm ourselves with a little patience and endurance for a few days, we can treat the acute inflammations and ease their pains.

And if you cannot visit the dentist's clinic for treatment and the relief of pain, then treat yourself in the following manner:

Use ice externally on the aching side, and beware of replacing it with poultices or hot compresses as some prescribe, for these smooth the way for the pus to break out through the face, leaving an ugly, disfiguring mark. Use the following rinse with hot water inside the mouth once every quarter hour: boil poppy and nutmeg and take the extract to mix with the hot water. And there is no harm in using sedative tablets such as aspirin, Aspro, Veganin, and the like.
