Pyorrhea

"Pyorrhea seizes 4 out of 5."

--FORHAN'S (dentifrices)

"Only 1 in every 20 has pyorrhea."

--LYON'S (dentifrices)

To these antithetical declarations of rival tooth cleanser manufacturers, Dentist Leo M. Lubliner of Brooklyn added another last week: "About 60% of our population over 40 years of age suffers from pyorrhea."

Dentist Lubliner has been peering into mouths, sometimes fetid ones, for 17 years and has seen many a case of pyorrhea. But, like other dentists, he has not known the cause. Nor does he know yet, although, he said last week, he has developed a treatment which has seemed to cure more than 200 cases. Just what the scientific basis of his treatment is he planned to tell first to the Clinical Society of Unity Hospital, Brooklyn, where he is the attending dentist.
