Veterinary Dentistry.
The causes of numerous diseases and disagreeable habits heretofore
ascribed as constitutional, have been traced directly 10 the teeth
Blindness, drolling, stopping short, starting suddenly, frothing,
loss of flesh, weak eye", driving on one rein, bad breath, turning
head sidewise while chewing, qt:idding hay up and spitting it out^
and nasal discharge are very often due to diseases ami irregulari-
ties of the teeth. Rough edges and sharp corners of the teeth
lacerate the mouth and produce nervousness and irritability; un-
even and elongated molars and incisors prevent the proper masti
cation of the food, producing indigestion and general debility.
Decayed molars cause necrosis of the bone, abscesscs. nasal gleet
fiistula of the jaw, etc.
