Excerpt from The Mouth and Teeth What do we mean by anatomy? As we shall consider it, anatomy is the science which treats of the structure of the body. While we know in a general way that the body is composed of minute particles, or atoms, we should learn as much about the composition, development and use of these structures as is pos sible, so that we can keep the body in good health, as nature intended. We think our young readers will agree with us, and that they would tell us, should we have the pleasure of talking with them in person, that their bodies are made up of bones, muscles, fat, nerves, arteries, veins, blood, hair, nails and teeth. But to tell how many bones, nerves and blood vessels there are, and how they are distributed throughout the body, would be a difficult and useless task. So we are going to tell you something about your body, to give you a better idea of how it is made up, but we will pay more attention to the mouth and teeth, as the mouth is the main entrance to the body and requires great care to maintain good health. We know that the framework of the body is made up of bones, but no doubt you never thought that this framework contains two hundred bones of all shapes and sizes, classified according to shape and use; namely, long, short, flat and irreg ular. They are all very important, so that if one of them were missing we would be crippled or imperfect. The face contains fourteen bones, and the head eight. You will learn about the rest of the bones of the body as you advance in your studies, but the bones of the face and head which form the cavity of the mouth will be the starting point, or foundation of our study in this book. And even of these, there are too many for you to learn of at this time, so we will begin by telling you about those which form the lower part of the face and the mouth, or the upper and lower jaw. These bones are placed in such a manner that they form a cavity or hollow place called the mouth, which contains glands, teeth, tonsils, the tongue and other structures. There is a very soft, delicate lining in the mouth called the mucous membrane, which has somewhat the same duties to perform as do the skin of the body. The lips Open or close the mouth at will.

Excerpt from The Teeth: Natural and Artificial The mouth - the organ of speech and mas tication - is not only the most expressive and characteristic, but also the most im portant, of all the features. It is connected by means of its lining mucous membrane witlbthe pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and intestinal canal, and with the lary nx, trachea, and bronchi being thus vitally related to the economy of respiration and digestion. This close relationship and sym pathy of the parts are manifested in disease by perceptible changes in the tongue, gums, lips, and mucous membranes while through the nerves, with which the mouth is so abundantly supplied, sympathetic relations are established with the eyes, ears, and, in fact, with every part of the body.

Excerpt from Popular Essays Upon the Care of the Teeth and Mouth This edition has been revised throughout, and a few additions made to the text. I have reason to congratulate myself on the fact that my work has been so favorably received, sev eral large editions having been rapidly exhausted. I do not assign this result so much to the merits of this little volume as I do to the fact that the special study of the mouth and teeth has been recognized as essential to a comprehensive knowledge of hygiene; and it is very gratifying to note that among the first to acknowledge this truth were the Board of Edu cation of New York City and the normal schools of New England.

Excerpt from Teeth, Their Natural History: With the Physiology of the Human Mouth No part of the human machine, comes so home to the regard and attention of all, as does the condition of the teeth. Our comfort, our health depend mainly, upon their correct and sound state. The loss or decay of teeth implies loss of health, consequent loss of appetite and good digestion. Indigestion must accompany any deterioration of their function. The performance of this function of diges tion properly can only be effected, and is a secondary process to a sufficient division of the particles of food, by effective trituration, and mastication in the mouth. Thus the food having already become reduced to a pulpy condition by admixture With the saliva during the process of mastication, is received into the stomach fit for digestion. The food in this state of division, is in a condition to be acted upon by the juices secreted in the stomach, becoming forthwith converted into What is called chyme, the first state arrived at in the process of digestion. This process commences the series of functions of assimilation, and nutrition; Without a correct performance of which, severe and painful ail ments supervene.
