“The chewing gum is generally re

are addicted to it as a pernicious hab

dentist. “And yel, in certain cases,

on more than one occasion have 1 ad
vised the parents of children whose
facea were narrow and whose jaws
were not suficiently developed to
make them chew gum. The constant
exercise has a tendency to widen an
otherwise narrow jaw and thus make
room for teeth that show evidence
of crowding each other out of shape.
The constant chewing of gum for two
hours every day is sufficient exercise
to bring about a most desirable result
in the dwarfed formation of a child's
jaw. Even when no such treatment
is necessary 1 sed no reason why the
children should be forbidden to chew
gum. It can do no harm and may pos.
