TEETH AND SANITY.
A woman living in Spencertown. N.
Y., lecame inept-[Iv unbalanced. Her
husband had decided that he would
have to send her to the state hospital
for the insane. when the family doc-
tor suggested that maybe the dentist
could help her. The~htrsband couldn't
‘ee much connection‘between sanity
and dentistry, but he seised the for-
lorn. hope bud called in a dentist.
It was found that the doctor's sur-
misc was correct. The woman had
several molars with bad ulcersat the
roots. Even when she had not con-
