THE HUMAN TONGUE.
It Is Very Inquisitive, With a Strong |
Will of Its Own.
The curiosity of the tongue does got |
cause the human being so much trou- |
ble as the curiosity of the eye, but the |
tongue, within its limits, is the most |
curious of all, |
Let the dentist make a change in the
mouth, let him remove a tooth or re- |
place with his admirable artifice one |
that has long been absent, let him |
change the form of a tooth by round- |
ing off a corner or bullding up a cavity,
and see what the tongue will do. It
will search out that place, taking care-
ful and minute account of the change.
Then it will linger near the place. If
it is called to other duties, it comes
back as soon as they are discharged
and feels the changed place all over
again, as if it had not explored and
rummaged there already,
It makes no difference that these re-
peated Investigations presently cause
annoyance to its supposed master, the
man. The tongue in nothing more
than in this matter proves that it is an
unruly member and will not be con-
trolled.
It seems to have an original will and
consciousness of it own, and nothing |
will serve it except the fullest satisfac-
tion of its curiosity. It will wear itself
out, perhaps, but it will find out all
about the strange change. — Boston |

HairGerms|
Recentdiscoveries have shown
that falling hair is caused by
germs at the roots of the hair.
Therefore, to stop falling hair,
you must first completely de-
stroy these germs. Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, new improved formula,
will certainly do this. Then
leave the rest to nature.
Does not change the color of the hair.

Recent discoveries have also proved that
dandruff is caused by germs on the scalp.
Therefore, to cure dandruff, the first thing
to do is to completely destroy these dan-
