He said tnat in li.dia c> en the humblest coolie cleaned his teeth even if he used only his forefinger with some powdered charcoal on it. The cleansing of the teeth was not to be done in a hurry and in privato in his coiir.try. People often spent half an hour sitting on their verandahs and chatting tho while they cleaned their teeth. Aftor eaoh meril tho mouth was carefully ringed. "If you go to India," he exclaimed, "do not get tho toothache, as you will not be ablo to find a dentitst. There are none in India, oxcept in one or two tig cities."
