Infant-feeding in its relation to health and disease, by Louis Fischer; containing 54 illustrations, with 24 charts and tables, mostly original . he following table will show the usual rule followedby normal dentition in the average child:— 19 | 11 | 13 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 14 | 9 | 17 20 | 12 | 15 | 7 | T | 2 | 8 | 16~|~T0~ |~18 The milk-teeth are twenty in number; thus, 1 and 2are the lower incisors, usually first teeth; then follow 3and 4, upper incisors. Normal children usually teeth in pairs, and not singly,whereas rachitic children usually have an eruption of (299) 300 INFANT-FEEDING. single teeth, and distinct backwardness in their appear-ance. Deciduous teeth, commonly called milk-teeth, re-main until a child is six years old, when the permanentteeth appear. Baginsky emphasizes the fact that enough stress is notlaid on the clinical importance of carious teeth as indi-cating tuberculosis and scrofulous conditions. In the sec-tion on treatment of rickets I have mentioned the value ofa nitrogenous diet, especially proteids (albuminoids), toaid in the formation of bony structures. The teeth arealso included in this Fig. 48.—Two Middle Lower Incisors. Three to 10Months; Average, 7 Months. Thus, when such drugs as glycerophosphate of limeor iron and hygienic measures are indicated for the treat-ment of rickets they are of especial value where back-wardness in teething exists. 771 am indebted to Dr. Dillon Brown for the illustrations, whichhave recently appeared in The Nursery.
