HOW ONE MAN FOUND HEALTH IN A CITY DENTIST'S CHAIR Symptoms of Illness That Frequently Mislead Physicians - Into Incorrect Diagnoses Causing Misery and Suffering Due to Condi tion of Teeth. This is the hrst time in sixteen years that I have allowed myself to years ago, after a great specialist had assured me there was "nothing or ganic the matter with me, 1 made up my mind that, however much my ill health might spoil my own life, it should not spoil the lives of others. I am breaking that resolution be cause I think I have discovered what is the matter with half the people of the world, who without feeing sick, are more or less constantly depressed and troubled with pains that are not or ganic" and, therefore, apparently be- aescnoe tne symptoms oi ac ieasi a , .i r t - . 1 - million men and women in these United States who will recognize in my story counterpart of their own. ! I come of moderately well-to-do par ents. My ancestors on both sides lived wholesome, self-respecting lives. None of therri passed away much be fore eighty. How it come to pass that . I should "enjoy poor health" seemed a mystery. ,' I passed through the usual succes sion of children's diseases in mild form, and except for -them I cannot remember ever having had the minis trations of a physician in my first fif teen years, tvcan remember being taken by my mother to the dentist when I was 6 years old. ' Long before this I had been initi ated into the use of the toothbrush so long, in fact, that I must have been born with a toothbrush in the place of the traditional silver spoon. I feel it necessary to set this down, partly out of justice to my parents, and partly , because I understand that a late medi cal theory ascribes all tooth decay to lack of oral cleanliness. I am the living ipropf that this theory win not . hold water, s i 1 , Lots of Work Needed. I "can recall my first appointment with a city dentist clearly enough, even to the very words he spoke. I opened my mouth, he poked the in strument here and there for a brief minute, and, turning tq my mother, in accusing tones he said to her: "Mrs. Elkins, there's a pile of work to be done." He began by pulling three teeth. Six or seven years of hard, conscien tious brushing out of eleven years of life and this was the reward! It was during these years of my early teens that I first remember a certain deficiency of .vitality, a lack of endurance that left me tired, and ready to go home and to bed while other fellows were still fresh. It was not sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable to my people, nor to handi cap me at school. So I made my way up through high school and into business, living a vir tuous and more or less unhappy life. 1 had everything that ought to make a man happy a good home, congenial work and the appearance- of splendid health. Indeed, I have never-lost that appearance: it seems to be one of the curiosities of a condition like mine that a man can look the perfect pic ture ot neaitn wnne teeiing utterly miserable. Knowing this, I often won der what, tragedies are hidden be hind rOsy, cheeks and eyes almost clear. ;' My trouble was, first of all, that I was never really rested. I slept fair ly well, but I would get up in the morning almost as tired as when I went to bed. My wife sometimes leaps to the floor and stretches her arms above her head to greet the new day, and exclaims, "I could eat the world!" I have never in my whole life felt that way. ; .'Generally I have risen rather blur-eyed, with a Rind of grim resolve to make my strength equal to the day's burden, somehow or other. I And many a morning I have lain on my pillow, watching the rays of the sun push their way through the, window and spread and dance, vand hive pictured the sunlight as a kind of implacable enemy. Down to Mere Nerve. Usually this tired feeling would pass off by the time I had eaten breakfast, and I would reach my office with a . fair amount of energy and determina tion tor the job. But after an hour . or two, all that energy would have used itself up and I would be down to mere nerve again. It was as though'jNature had given me a man's size body, and a brain for a man's size job, but had equipped me with a reser voir that would hold only a child's energy, ; ' , '. .. , ', My people had never believed much in doctors. I complained to them once or twice about my feelings, and they brushed the complaint aside as being' a product of an unduly active imagination, ihey had no time or money to squander on the health of a boy who- cost as much to feed as I did and who looked so perfectly ; well. , We had moved from the city to a suburband our new dentist, a con scientious young fellow, was hon estly concerned at the way in which , my teeth persisted in going to - pieces, in spite of , all his care and my vigorous consumption of tooth powder and washes. He asked me questions afcout my ) health, and sought by putting litmus paper in my mouth to determine whether the saliva was acid or alkaline. So far as I could see, there was no reaction visible on the paper, but he believed that there was something the matter .with my stomach which caused an acid condition of the mouth. , My people listened to his report, though they paid no attention to my dwn, and on his suggestion I was taken to doctors Of various sorts. v.- ' More Fresh Air. Looking as well as I did, I re ceived a .superficial examination, a lfln ntl th hartr and n tniifnfinn fn get more fresh air into my lungs, drink more water,; and think less about ' my, health. So my youth passed, and manhood came to me, and found me with several hundred dollars' worth of dental work in my mouth, a tired body, a chastened spirit, and a conviction that I suf fered from some disease such as no . man had ever had before, since the , doctors seemed unable to locate . ... T ii i n t ii. . i even inougni in inose aays oi ? willing my body to a hospital, in or der .that an autopsy might be per- i; formed and the obscure disease dis covered and charted. '-, Many men who start out in life with frail constitutions crow strong and heartv between the years of twenty and thirty, so I cherished latent hope that my experience might be of this character. My early . twenties passed, nowever, witn no visioie in orovement. I srot on in business rea sonablv well, but I was far below real efficiency. I limited myself rig idly as to pleasures and even as to hu man contracts. Every conversation with another mark, every meeting ot every Kina, in volves the expenditure of a certain amount of energy. There must be thousands of men and women in the world who bear the reputation of be ing: unsocial and unresponsive whose fault lies in the fact that they simply have not the health to be otherwise. To See New Doctor. As my income increased and I be gan to have money of my own to spend, the impulse would come to me occasionally to try what some new doctor might do. I remember one such impulse especially, because it was born of a violent love affair. I met the young lady at a summer re sort. We paddled on the lake after supper and talked of many things, and among others of sports. She asked me what games I played at school, whether I had been good at football, and whether I didn't simply adore golf. It was dark, but even under the friendly covering of night I could not summon up courage to lie. I had to confess that I was not much on sports, and the confession cost me bitterness such as only youth can know. At that moment I determined that I would be well if it took all the money I could earn in a lifetime. The following day I made my way back to the city and started on my profitless round. I visited first a doc tor whose reputation was known throughout the city as a diagnostician. It was his business to find out the hidden diseases that escape the prob ing of less expensive men. I told him my whole story how I had been "born tired" apparently, how, with out being really sick, I was' never wholly well. He went over me carefully, I will say that for him; and when he con cluded his examination, he said sharply: "Nothing organic the matter with you. You've overworked; you're nervously tired," you haven't reserved power enough to carry you. The thing for you to do is to see a good nerve man. A man like Coburg, for instance. I'll give you a card to him; he'll fix you up in short order, if I'm not mistaken." Hammer for Reflexes. So ,1 journeyed to Coburg, who rolled back my eyelids and looked at my pupils, tapped my knees with a little hammer to see how my "re flexes'! responded, asked me question-,! various sorts, and concluded by giving me a prescription for two kinds of tonic, and a suggestion that I see an eye man. I felt a good deal encouraged after my visit to that nerve man. He is one of the two or three leaders in this field in America;, the prescriptions which he gave me were very expen sive, which increased my faith in their potency; and, finally, his sug gestion about an eye specialist sounded promising. When the eye man gravely informed me that he had located a "slight astigmatism" and that I must wear glasses, I could have leaped for joy. The hope that sprang into my heart after my visits to these three very great and costly men vanished rapidly, leaving me sunk even lower in the slough of despond. Until then there had been some possibility that wiser doctors would discover trou ble where the general practitioners had failed. Now I had been to the very best men, and they, too, had found nothing. There was no use in hoping further; the only thing. left was a dull, dead determination to stick it out and to do a mans work, with health or without it. All the world, as someone has said, is divided into, two classes those who have rheumatism and those who are going to have it. It was a year ago last spring that I had my first visit from the common enemy of man kind. Only a preliminary twinge in my right knee, but it was enough to plunge me into gloom. It was while I was in this state of mental depression that I ran into a friend at the club who had been a notorious sufferer from muscular rheumatism, and was amazed to find him apparently well. What About Teeth? ' "Those baths must be great things," I said, 'for I knew he had been b'uried in mud for a month. ''There all right," he replied; "but it wasn't baths that did for me. It was teeth." "Teeth!" I exclaimed. "What do you mean? Teeth cause rheumatism?" "Among many other things that they cause, rheumatism is not the least. There is hardly anything they don't cause, as doctors have just dis covered." "That sounds crazy enough to me," I said. "Why, look at me I I have rheumatism, and I've been to a den tist twice a year regularly ever since I was 6 years old." "Ever have your mouth X-rayed?" he asked. "No." "Well, take my advice and go and do it. Do it this afternoon." I spent that afternoon in the office of a dental X-ray specialist who does nothing but photograph jaws all day long. When- about 4 o'clock he handed me the films on which my oft-filled teeth were pictured, he looked at me with surprise mingled with something almost like pity. "I've kept a duplicate set of these," he said. "I want to show them to our dental society. To look at you, one would suppose you are perfectly well yet those pictures uncover trouble enough to have put a horse to bed." ,r . t, ... nut i ve never neglected my teetn, l exclaimed; "I must have a thousand dollars' worth of dental work in them this minute. What do you advise?" "I advise you to take those pictures to the best dentist in the city," "he answered. "Have him open up every tooth in your head. and see just what is the condition of the root. Some he'll have to pull; others he may be "Hot Soup" for Boys on Way Broth That Sammies Say iLMif" few AMOUKD THfi SOU American soldiers enjoying a hot meal on the march able to save. I've noted my conclu sions on my report; you can take it to him and see what he says." What Report Showed. On my way up-town I read his re port. Here it is. One does not have to be an expert to see that it meant a pile of trouble: Upper Jaw, Left 1st molar: Par tial canal filling. 2d molar: Test for vitality. 1st and 2d bicuspids: Par tial canal-fillirig, abscess condition. Upper Jaw, Right Central and lat eral canine: Partial canal-filling, ab scess condition. Bicuspids: Partial canal-filling, with cystic area extend ing to 1st molar. 2d molar: Please test for its vitality. Lower Jaw, Left Molars: Tartial canal-filling, pericemental irritation. 2d Bicuspids: Partial canal-filling. Canine: Partial canal-hlling, abscess. Lower anteriors: Considerable ab sorption process, abscess condition about all, partial canal-filling. Central. Lower Jaw, Right 1st Bicuspid: Partial canal-filling and abscess. 2d Bicuspids: Test for vitality. 1st and 2d molars: Partial canal-filling, ab scess condition. I hunted up the best dentist in New York. His prices were twice as high as any I had paid before, but when he beg?n work I realized why they were high. There may be a lot of bluff in the learned professions, there may be isolated cases where lawyers and doctors and dentists are charging exorbitant fees, not because they have unusual ability but because they have unusually high rent. There doubtless are some such cases, I say, but my experience has been that where a man is getting big money for his work it is generally because he knows a whole lot more than the man who is doing the same work for less. Secretions Formed Poisons. All my life I liad been paying for what I supposed was first-class dental Work, only to discover now that it was so imperfect as to be the root of all my trouble. Crowns in my mouth were leaking and secreting food that formed poisons; root canals, as the X-ray showed, had been only parti ally filled, resulting in abscesses. There were at least six so-called blind abscesses at the roots of my teeth called blind because their presence was hot indicated by any external swelling, and could be discovered only by the X-ray. Yet any one of them was draining sufficient poison into my blood to corrupt tny whole sys tem. I Scratch your finger; let a dentist I infect it with even a tiny particle of pus, and it will swell and fester. What, then, must be the effect of pus continually generated and constantly being drained into the system .from a half-dozen infected teefh? It is not pleasant to talk about: and I need not go into any further de tail. Suffice it to say that I had every crown in my mouth removed, every dead tooth opened up and re-treated (four could not be treated and had to be pulled), and new work put in from start to finish, every bit of it checked and tested, as we went along. by the A-ray. That was two years ago. almost. and from the day that the work was completed until now I have never had the slightest touch of rheumatism. I eat more heartily, sleep better, and have far more vitality and joy in living tnan ever Detore in my lite. A woman came to my dentist while I was being treated. She suffered from neuralgia. There were no cavities in her teeth apparently, and she had been examined by various physicians, none of whom could locate the cause of her trouble. I saw the dentist take an X-ray of her teeth on the side of her face where the pain oc curred, and watched him develop it. There, as plain as day, lying across the roots of three of her teeth was a fourth tooth that had never come through. It was a bad job removing that tooth, but the woman has had no trouble since. Suffered From Bad Teeth. A man in an office near mine suf fered for years with his eyes. He had been treated by a first-class spe cialist, but in spite of everything his eyes would become terribly inflamed once or twice a year. Finally, as a last resort, the doctor sent him to a dentist The X-ray showed that four of his teeth were causing all the trou ble. They were to all appearances perfectly sound, and he hated to lose them. But he has had ho eye trouble since they came out, Les Darcy, the Australian prize ring champion came to this country as a perfect physical specimen. A few months after his arrival he had an attack, of rheumatism. He was taken to a hospital, examined, and it was found that every tooth in his mouth was decayed. He died two weeks later. I could go on citing instances al most without number. They have all tended to form this conclusion in my mind: If I were called upon to find out what was the trouble with a fail road, I would start to look first at the terminal and freight yards, where all the traffic enters the system,, and if I were ever to suffer from ill health again I would begin first to inquire whether, perhaps, the trouble did not originate in my mouth, where all the food and air that gets into my system is received. Doctors themselves have KITCHEK 243 STUDENTS TO GET DIPLOMAS AT OMAHA CENTRAL Girls Are in Majority; Com mencement Exercises Will Be Held June 7; Seniors Choose Colleges. There will be 243 students gradu ated from the Central high school on Tune 7. The girls are in the major ity, with 141. Nebraska has been chosen by 75 of the students as the institution where they will continue their educa tion. Several will remain in Omaha. More than 100 seniors have not chosen their college or intend to dis continue their education. Dr. Charles H. Judd, head of the college of education at the University of Chicago, will deliver the com mencement addresj at the Auditorium Friday night, June 7, to the graduates of the four high schools of Greater Omaha. One to West Point. Daniel Longwell, lieutenant col onel of the cadet regiment, will enter West Point. Leland Potter will make application at Annapolis. The Univer sity of Nebraska will enroll the ma jority of pupils prominent in school activities. Only 38 Central high graduates will go to eastern schools. Austin Smith and Eugene Maxwell, athletes, will enter Nebraska Uni versity. Floyd Paynter, an all- around athlete, will enroll at Creigh- ton. Ilda Langdon, assistant editor of the Register, has chosen Smith col lege. The graduates are: Boys. Adam, Clarence KJpIlffaard, Ilolgor C. Alexander. Will E. Kline. Maxwell Allison, Charles Knlb. Kdward Andenon, Roscoa Kratz, Kenneth B. Balbach, Carl Kuhna, Barton Hay come only recently to recognize the importance of the teeth; and to many laymen the claims that are made for the possible effects of bad teeth must seem wildly exaggerated. Who could imagine, for example, a pain in the knee being cured by the extraction of a bad molar? Yet I know just such a case. Indeed, I am ready now to believe almost anything, haying proved by my own experience that one may have been faithful to the dentist all his life, and yet find under the X-ray condi tions sufficient to cause any disease from dyspepsia to housemaid's knee. If you do not know what's the mat ter, and if the doctor, wagging his head wisely and telling you that there is no organic trouble, doesn't know what's the matter either, go and get your teeth X-rayed. This is my ad vice; it cost me more than thirty years of suffering and hopelessness. I pass it on in the faith that to many others, in whom hope is fast evapor ating, it may prove a guide to the Promised Land; that they may dis cover, as I did, that the health they seek is waiting for them in the den tist 8 chair.
