Second, there are particles of blood made from a food which is of the same nature as the still slops of the chVy-fed cow. And this slop makes blood clots in the arteries, and produces ulceration. Do you desire to have good blood ? To continue to have good teeth ? The blood must continually be in good order. To eat good food, such as will nourish the body, is one of the essentials of good teeth. Are you careless about your personal appearance and do not care whether you have good teeth or not ?
