7. Take great care of the back teeth or grinders, and see that all
of them are present and in perfect order. Dentists should be employed
to make good any defietences. Money spent on the teeth will bring a
greater return than any other investment.
8. Avoid bolting imperfectly masticated food This bad habit can
be cured by not drinking during a meal. Liquids may be drunk in
small quantities at the end of a meal, or in larger quantities between
meails.
9. Do not delay when cancer is suspected. Early recognition and
prompt removal deprives cancer of its terrors. The mutual assistance
of the public and the medical profession is essential to early diagnosis,
and a grave responsibility rests on both. Thousands of lives of women
suffering from cancer of the womb and of the breast could be saved by
early diagnosis and operation.
10. Avoid constipation. This is to be done by judicious diet and
exercise; and should these fail, by physical and medicinal treatment.
