A good formula for an antiseptic
mouth wash is one part thymol,
twelve parts benzoic acid, sixty
parts tincture of eucalyptus, three
parts oil of peppormint, and four
hundred parts alcohol. Add a few
drops of this mixture to a glass of
water and use for rinsing out the
mouth night and morning.
The frequent contact of the tooth
brush with the animal and vpo-Rtnhio
substances in the mouth makes it
particularly necessary that it should
bo cleaned and disinfected; yet how
seldom do most people take the
trouble to clean the tooth brush! It
ehould be -washed every two or three
days in soapy water and let soak in
some antiseptic solution fnr imif
hour. Every time after use it should
be washed and rinsed and laid to
dry.
Ammonia -will in time destroy the
bristles, or any kind of hair, and
should not be used in cleaning
brushes. The effects may be slow,
but the brush will bo ruined through
the rotting of the bristles.

A raw egg is not so easily digested
as a cooked egg; the white must
undergo coagulation in the stomach,
and cooking saves the stomach this
work. The notion that raw eggs are
more nourishing and more easily
digested than cooked ones, result's

strain and struggle to force down a
raw egg now and then, when, if a
cooked egg were eaten with other
food, the result would be much more
satisfactory.
