The next morning Mrs. Leach was fully

Nevertheless, she knew that the end was

tirely by dentists in filling tooth; gold
leaf is used in gliding. boolrbindiug and
operations of that sort. besides the show
that is made of acres and acres of gilded
signs spread before the public in one way
and another.
“The quantity of gold used in gold leaf
is at least twice as great as that used in
foil, in spite of the fact that the leaf is so
much thinner than the foil. A skilled
man can hammer out 20 ounces of gold
foil inn day, while it will take him is week
to make two ounces of gold leaf, because it
is so much thinner. This Work has always
been done by band, and probably always
will be. A single thickness of gold foil
such , as dentists usev—to the ordinary ob-
server that seems thin enough in all cell-
sclcnce—will make on entire book of gold
leaf."
“How much gold foil do the dentists.
use?" I inquired. .
“Well," replied Mr. Henry, “I should
think that they use on an overuse about 50
cents’ worth of gold per cavity, as teeth
go. Some are bigger, Mine are snmllor.
This hottle"-—uild lio lwld up u viul such
as dentists hoop their gold foil in—“bulds
some N worth of foil, and that would
make ubont eight fillings of the average
size."
if the average cavity bored out by the
industrious American dentist with such
extreme discomfort to the suffering patient
contains 50 couts' worth of gold, how
much gold do all the million cavities so
constructed employ?
It is u question.
There are 70,000,000 people in the coun-
try. One of the oldest dentists in New
York tells me that at least 75 per cent of
the people in his vicinity employ dentists,
not only to extract teeth which have be
come useless, but to fill cavities. Probably
the percentage would be considerably low-
cr, taking the country as a whole. Louv-
ing out of the reckoning the babies, who
have not yet made acquaintance with this
particular form of suffering, and people
who are too old to limo unyxecth at oil, it
seems likely that tlu-ro un- 23,(nil0,()00 or
3o,01m,00ll people in the Foiled States who
have enjoyed those sweet sermons of C0!“-
muuioii with the bum whose soft easy
chair and hard. uneasy boring implements
are so thoroughly appreciated.
Sixty per cent of the people in New
York, Brooklyn and other large cities
have oil, or poorly all, their fillings of
gold. Practically nil patrons of dentistry
have the fillings in at least their front
teeth of this costly material. You will
scarcely meet a person upon the street who
has not from 1 to 20 ouvitios filled with it.
There are pmpic so lizirhurous our] of
such magnificent nerve that they have on-
tirsly sound tooth bored untouiy that they
may have gold fillings inserted for purely
oriiuincutni purposes.
