490 The Teeth of the Nation [Feb. 10, 



causes of disease and its prevention. Much is being done at the 

 present day, and having no axe of his own to grind, the lecturer was 

 able without bias to urge early attention before it is too late, by 

 visiting responsible dental surgeons for advice and treatment. 



But much remains to be discovered in reference to many points, 

 and in his concluding sentence the lecturer ventured to forecast 

 an era in the not distant future when the teeth of the nation would 

 be its pride and not the source of lamentation and pain.
