Pagina 3 - This high and divine endowment should never be lost sight of in our reasonings on the human structure, and the physiology and habits of our species; as it is only with the allowances and modifications, which the possession of a quality so infinitely higher than the instinct of other animals necessarily supposes, that the actual habits of man can be viewed as compatible with his organization. Although these habits, — now essentially arising from, and combined with, a state of civilization, which,...
Pagina 71 - ... nervous, diseases. When we add to the list of those diseases the morbid effects of the acrid and putrid matters which are sometimes discharged from carious teeth, or from ulcers in the gums created by them, also the influence which both have in preventing perfect mastication, and the connection of that animal function with good health, I...
Pagina 4 - I think, going too far to say that every fact connected with the human organization goes to prove, that man was originally formed a frugivorous animal, and, therefore, probably tropical, or nearly so, with regard to his geographical situation. This opinion is principally derived from the formation of D his teeth and digestive organs, as well as from the character of his skin, and the general structure of his limbs.
Pagina 71 - When we consider how often the teeth, when decayed, are exposed to irritation from hot and cold drinks and aliments, from pressure by mastication, and from the cold air, and how intimate the connection of the mouth is with the whole system, I am disposed to believe they are often the unsuspected causes of general, and particularly of nervous diseases.
Pagina 63 - Thii ornament is equally attractive in both sexes : it distinguishes the elegant from the slovenly gentleman, and diffuses amiability over the countenance, by softening the features. But it is more especially to woman that fox teeth are necessary, since it is her destiny first to gratify the eyes before she touches the soul, and captivates and enslaves the heart.
Pagina 22 - When the disgusting effects of its accumulation are considered, it would appear impossible that any persuasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance, even on their own account ; or, if they are too debased to procure their own comfort and cleanliness at the expense of a very little care and trouble, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves.
Pagina 62 - If sloth or negligence the task forbear Of making cleanliness a daily care; If fresh ablution, with the morning sun, Be quite forborne or negligently done ; In dark disguise insidious tartar comes Incrusts th.e teeth and irritates the gums, Till vile deformity usurps the seat Where smiles should play and winning graces meet, And foul disease pollutes the fair domain, Where health and purity should ever reign.
Pagina 38 - Since in childhood the first sufferings begin, in childhood also the foundation of a good or bad constitution is laid. It is at this critical time that the greatest attention should be paid to the state of the gums, to mark the protrusion of the teeth, as well as the after changes; for it is only by knowing the steps and order of their progress, that proper aid can be given to the efforts of nature, during the years of childhood.
Pagina 3 - ... we may be led, by a careful examination of the structure of the different organs, and by an analogical comparison of them as they exist in man, with the same organs in those animals which most nearly resemble him in structure, but which are still found in a perfectly natural state, to a plausible supposition, at least, of what were originally his natural habits ; and which would have still continued so, but for those changes which have arisen from the possession of this very endowment.
Pagina 3 - The endowment of reason, that greatest, best gift of the Creator, appears, if we consider the perfection of human organization, to be particularly, and, in its highest degree, even exclusively, adapted to the conformation and requirements of man. This high and divine endowment should never be lost sight of in our reasonings on the human structure, and the physiology and habits of our species, as it is only with the allowances and modifications which the possession of a quality so infinitely higher...
