Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rights reserve d. NOTHING BUT THE TOOTH I am thirty-eight years old, have curly brown hair and blue eyes, own a uke and a yellow roadster, and a m considered a snappy dresser in my crowd. But the thing I want m ost in the world for my birthday is a free subscription to Oral H ygiene, published by Merwin B. Massol, 1005 Liberty Avenue, Pitts burgh, Pa. In the event you have been repairing your own teeth, O ral Hygiene is a respectable smooth-finish technical magazine cir culated to your dentist with the compliments of his local supply company. Through its pages runs a recital of the most horrendous and fantastic deviations from the dental norm. It is a confession al in which dentists take down their back hair and stammer out th e secrets of their craft. But every time I plunge into its crackl ing pages at my dentist's, just as I get interested in the story of the Man with the Alveolar Dentures or Thirty Reasons Why Peopl e Stay Away from Dentists, the nurse comes out slightly flushed a nd smoothing her hair to tell me that the doctor is ready. Last T hursday, for example, I was head over heels in the question-and-a nswer department of Oral Hygiene. A frankly puzzled extractionist , who tried to cloak his agitation under the initials J.S.G., had put his plight squarely up to the editor: I have a patient, a wo man of 20, who has a full complement of teeth. All of her restora tions are gold foils or inlays. She constantly grinds her teeth a t night. How can I aid her to stop grinding them? Would it do any good to give her a vellum rubber bite? But before I could learn whether it was a bite or just a gentle hug the editor recommended , out popped Miss Inchbald with lipstick on her nose, giggling, T he Doctor is free now. Free, indeed--running amok would be a bett er way to put it. I had always thought of dentists as of the ph legmatic type-square-jawed sadists in white aprons who found rele ase in trying out new kinds of burs on my shaky little incisors. One look at Oral Hygiene fixed that. Of all the inhibited, timoro us, uncertain fumble-bunnies who creep the earth, Mr. Average Den tist is the worst. A filing clerk is a veritable saber-toothed ti ger by comparison. Faced with a decision, your dentist's bones tu rn to water and he becomes all hands and feet. He muddles throu gh his ordinary routine with a certain amount of bravado, pluggin g a molar here with chewing gum, sinking a shaft in a sound tooth there. In his spare time he putters around his laboratory making tiny cement cupcakes, substituting amber electric bulbs for ordi nary bulbs in his waiting room to depress patients, and jotting d own nasty little innuendoes about people's gums in his notebook. But let an honest-to-goodness sufferer stagger in with his face o ut of drawing, and Mr. Average Dentist's nerves go to hell. He ru ns sobbing to the Ask Oral Hygiene department and buries his head in the lap of V. C. Smedley, its director. I dip in for a typica l sample: Question-A patient of mine, a girl, 18, returned from school recently with a weird story of lightning having struck an upper right cuspid tooth and checked the enamel on the labial su rface nearly two-thirds of the way from the incisal edge toward t he neck. The patient was lying on a bed looking out an open windo w during an electric storm, and this one flash put out the lights of the house, and at the same time, the patient felt a burning s ensation (like a burning wire) along the cuspid tooth. She immedi ately put her tongue on the tooth which felt rough, but as the li ghts were out she could not see it so she went to bed. (A taste a s from a burnt match accompanied the shock.) Next morning she f ound the labial of the tooth black. Some of the color came off on her finger. By continually brushing all day with the aid of pero xide, salt, soda and vinegar she removed the remainder of the bla ck after which the tooth was a yellow shade and there was some ro ughness on the labial surface. Could the lightning have caused this and do you recommend smoothing the surface with discs?-R. D. L., D.D.S., Oregon. Well, Doctor, let us take your story step by step. Miss Muffet told you the sensation was like a burning wi re, and she tasted something like a burnt match. Did you think, b y any chance, of looking into her mouth for either wire or matche s? Did you even think of looking into her mouth? I see no mention of the fact in your letter. You state that she walked in and tol d you the story, that's all. Of course it never occurred to you t hat she had brought along her mouth for a reason. Then you say, s he removed the remainder of the black after which the tooth was a yellow shade. Would it be asking too much of you to make up your mind? Was it a tooth or a yellow shade? You're quite sure it was n't a Venetian blind? Or a gaily striped awning? Do you ever take a drink in the daytime, Doctor? Frankly, men, I have no patien ce with such idiotic professional behavior. An eighteen-year-old girl walks into a dentist's office exhibiting obvious symptoms of religious hysteria (stigmata, etc.) She babbles vaguely of thund erstorms and is patently a confirmed drunkard. The dentist goes t o pieces, forgets to look in her mouth, and scurries off to Oral Hygiene asking for permission to smooth her surface with discs. I t's a mercy he doesn't take matters into his own hands and try to plow every fourth tooth under. This is the kind of man to whom w e entrust our daughters' dentures. There is practically no prob lem so simple that it cannot confuse a dentist. For instance, thu mb-sucking. Could you suggest a method to correct thumb and index finger sucking by an infant of one year? flutters a Minnesota or thodontist, awkwardly digging his toe into the hot sand. Dr. Smed ley, whose patience rivals Job's, has an answer for everything: E nclose the hand by tying shut the end of the sleeve of a sleeping garment, or fasten a section of a pasteboard mailing tube to the sleeping garment in such a position as to prevent the bending of the elbow sufficiently to carry the thumb or index finger to the mouth. Now truly, Dr. Smedley, isn't that going all the way arou nd Robin Hood's barn? Nailing the baby's hand to the high-chair i s much more cozy, or, if no nail is available, a smart blow with the hammer on Baby's fingers will slow him down. My grandfather, who was rather active in the nineties (between Columbus and Amste rdam avenues they finally got him for breaking and entering), alw ays used an effective method to break children of this habit. He used to tie a Mills grenade to the baby's thumb with cobbler's wa xed thread, and when the little spanker pulled out the detonating pin with his teeth, Grandpa would stuff his fingers into his ear s and run like the wind. Ironically enough, the people with whom Grandpa now boards have the same trouble keeping him from biting his thumbs, but overcome it by making him wear a loose jacket wit h very long sleeves, which they tie to the bars. I have always been the mildest of men, but you remember the old saying, Beware the fury of a patient man. (I remembered it very well and put my finger on it instantly, page 269 of Bartlett's book of quotations .) For years I have let dentists ride roughshod over my teeth; I have been sawed, hacked, chopped, whittled, bewitched, bewildered , tattooed, and signed on again; but this is cuspid's last stand. They'll never get me into that chair again. I'll dispose of my t eeth as I see fit, and after they're gone, I'll get along. I star ted off living on gruel, and, by God, I can always go back to it again. ., Modern Library, 2000, 2.5, Reed. Near Fine. Hardback. 2000. revised edition. full-color photos throughout, 5 x 8.

Professor Gregory and the other scientist s involved are all first rate. A major point in favour of the pro ject is the high level of competence that is available for quite a diverse range of subject matter. Wide ranging and comprehensiv e topics with jargon-free scientific explanations... an excellent book for an introductory planbt science or horticultural science course.

The place he has chosen for his 'ca tching up' is a rural township called Waitapa, and here, encourag ed by Terence whose assurance he envies, he rapidly gains confide nce. His growing awareness turns towards one of his pupils, and h e looks forward to the chance of dancing with her at the school s ocials. But Melva has problems of her own. Urged on by her father , who wishes she were a son, she is too desperate trying to catch up, not only in the classroom and on the sports ground, but also in her barely-grasping understanding of adult life and relations hips. It is Terence, seemingly detached from the schedules and pr essures of life, who takes over the final stages of her education ; and after the last, shattering lesson (who is teaching whom?) M elva is left- as is Graham- to settle for what is attainable, and second-best. Set against the magnificent scenery of New Zealand. ., Faber & Faber Ltd, 1971, 3, Edition Kunst der Comics, 1992. paperback. gebraucht, wie neu . 20,80 x 20,60 x 1,80, Edition Kunst der Comics, 1992, 0, Paperback.
