“it would be a good thing for dentists if smoking had never been invented,” writes “Forceps” in a London journal devoted to dentistry, adding: “Tobacco smoke is one of the very finest preservatives of the teeth. It may discolour them sometimes, but it frequently prolongs their usefulness to old age. Sweets, on the other hand, are the dentist’s best friends. Children and women, who are always munching them, very often suffer badly from defective teeth, and I never pass a lollyshop without wanting to take off my hat to it. But tobacco smoke assuredly prevents decay.” So it does. But the tobacco should be of special quality. “Toasted” is ideal for the purpose, because, owing to the comparative absence of nicotine in it, it can be smoked so freely without affecting the health. All five brands of the genuine toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Pocket Edition, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are splendid teeth preservers, and more fragrant and delightful tobaccos are simply not to be had, whatever price you may pay.
