ETHEL.—Show your teeth to a dentist. We regret that we could not give
you a recommendation of the kind. Your medical man would do so. The
loss of an eye-tooth does not affect the sight. It is believed that
eating very fine white bread has tended to injure the teeth. Wholemeal
bread is the best for producing good bone.
SARAH BROWN.—You cannot re-silver a good looking-glass yourself.
You must send it to a manufactory for the purpose. Any furnishing
upholsterer or looking-glass seller would undertake to do that for you;
but you must make a bargain before you send it, and you might obtain a
good secondhand glass at less cost.
DICK.—Dentists usually have a medical man to see and attend to the
patient when gas is employed. It is not dangerous to take it.
“IN GREAT TROUBLE.”—Yours seems a case for a doctor’s advice. You
had better consult one. The word “silly” is not spelt “scilly,” like
the islands of that name, and “disappointed” should not be written
“dissapointed.”
DOROTHY DRAKE.—You will find the answer to your question several times
repeated in our correspondence columns.
EVELYN.—We do not place ourselves between our young readers and
their parents, by expressing an opinion respecting the punishments
they inflict. If severe, we imagine that their statement of the case
you describe would be of a different character from yours. Probably
there were attendant circumstances which aggravated the misdoing on
your part. What business had you to go out without leave, and not
fully dressed for so doing? Besides, you may have been disobedient or
impertinent.
DITTO.—You will find instructions in riding in the monthly part for
October 1st, 1881, page 3, vol. iii., and, as we told you before,
at page 131 in the same volume. You cannot read figures, one would
suppose. There is a picture of a girl on horseback on the same page.
Look again.
JO.—Perhaps you could receive some little pupils daily for two or
three hours at your own home, and teach them the rudiments of an
English education—reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, and
needlework.
MOTHER OF SIX.—The Paddington Green Children’s Hospital might suit
you, boys under twelve years of age and girls under fourteen being
eligible, and no letters of recommendation being required. Write to
the treasurer, George Hanbury, Esq. 21, Portman-square, W. There are
also the Belgrave Hospital for Children, 77 and 79, Gloucester-street,
S.W.—lady superintendent, Miss Munro; The Eveline Hospital for Sick
Children, Southwark Bridge-road, S.E.;—secretary, T. H. Chapman, Esq.
All three are free.
