EARHART, Agent MURRAY, NEBR. 7 John, Mary and Jack DENTISTRY and" PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER XLVIII Mr. Reynolds had just returned from a two weeks' buying trip. To celebrate his homecoming Mrs. Rey nolds had prepared several of his favorite dishes for dinner. Apparently, her husband had no appetite. He ate his soup and drank a glass of milk, but the fried chick en and crusty rolls lay untouched upon his plate. "Why don't you eat your dinner, John?" exclaimed his wife. 'Doesn't my cooking appeal to you any more?" Mr. Reynolds pushed his chair away from the table. "I'm sorry, Mary." he said, "but I can't eat. My mouth has been so sore for the pait three days that even the sight of food is painful." "You poor dear." said Mary as fhe left her chair and. walking around the table, sat on his lap. "Let me sec your mouth." John opened his mouth and push ed back his upper and lower lips. Mary gave an exclamation of dis may. "What in the world is the mat ter with your gums?" she cried. "No wonder you can't eat. Why didn't you tell me? Your mouth looks as though it were poisoned. Do you mean to tell me your mouth has been like that for three days and vou haven't done anything about it?" "No." answered John, "it began to get sore day before yesterday. Yesterday it was worse, and today it is really bad. Beside3. I couldn't do much for it on the road, jump ing from one town to another." "Well." said Mary, "you can do something for it now," and with her characteristic decisiveness, she tele phoned Dr. Young. Fortunately the dentist had not left his office for the evening and he told Mis. Reynolds to send her husband in at once. In less than a half hour. Mr. Reynolds was under treatment. "What in the world did I pick tip. Doctor?" asked Mr. Reynolds at the conclusion of the examination. "Picked up. is right." replied the dentist. "You've picked up a case of Vincent's infection." Mr. Reynolds looked bewildered. "What's Jhat?" he asked. "Did you ever hear of trench mouth?" countered the dentist. "I've heard of it." replied John, "but I don't kwiw much about it." "Don't worry." said the dentist dryly, "you're going to learn all about it in the next few weeks." As Dr. Young's assistant had left for the evening, he had to prepare his own medication tray. During this preparation, he explained to Mr. Reynolds a few more facts concern ing the disease. "Vincent's infection." he said, "is a disease which affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. Sometimes it affects the throat and tonsils, in which case it is call ed Vincent's angina. "It is commonly called 'trench mouth.' because so many of the sol diers in the crowded camps and trenches became infected with it during the World War. It is caused by the combined efforts of two micro-organisms known as Vincent's spirochete and the fusiform bacillus. These particular germs are peculiar because they live and thrive in the absence of oxygen. They enter the mouth and lodtre between the teeth. They burrow beneath the gum mar gin. They hide beneath the margins of fillings and crowns and grow In and about decayed teeth. Usually, unclean and unkempt mouths are the most easily affected. However, clean mouths, such as yours, can be come diseased. "Vincent's infection is a very con tagious disease. It is easily trans mitted from one person to another by the use of common drinking glasses and improperly cleaned eat ing utensils, and by coughing, sneez ing and kissing." By the time this discourse was finished. Dr. Young had his modi cants ready and he pave Mr. Rey nolds' mouth a thorough treatment, at the conclusion of which he gave him a prescription to have filled with instructions as to how to use it. "Come in tomorrow evening for another treatment." he said. "I will want to see you once every twenty four hours for several days. I'll tell you some more about your disease tomorrow night."
