Eureka!

Dr. Samuel George Barker, a Jefferson, Iowa dentist, was happy as an autograph collector who has just discovered a Button Gwinnett in his own attic. In last week's Journal of the American Dental Association, he told all about it:

"I have examined the teeth of approximately 25,000 people. Out of that vast multitude, I have found but one person whose teeth have fulfilled all the specifications. . . . Miss Lois Price, 18 years old . . . came to me as a dental assistant, and has worked by my side every day for six months. . . . The first day that she entered my office, her teeth fascinated me.

After a few days, I asked her to permit me to examine her teeth more closely. . . .

I asked her questions about her family, her life and her diet.

"Here is the rare and almost unbelievable part of the story: she has never in her lifetime consumed pastry of any kind, candy, ice cream, fruit (except oranges), soft drinks, coffee, tea or commercial vitamins. She has merely tasted them and just cannot eat them. The case was so rare and unbelievable that I took the matter up with her boy and girl friends, asking them what Lois ordered when they went into the ice-cream parlor for cokes, banana splits, chocolate sundaes and so on.

They told me that sometimes she drank a glass of milk or a glass of water or ate a dark bread sandwich. . . .

"I took Miss Price into the clinic at the Iowa State Dental Meeting. The interest shown by the dentists of Iowa was far be yond my expectations. They were of the opinion that she was in a class by herself."
