And it does them a world of good, e.g., in Newburgh, N.Y. it has cut cavities among children by 30%. The cost would be negligible (about 10? a month for each householder). No fewer than 194 communities are using fluorides already, and 70 or 80 more are preparing...

To act as "control" for the test, the city of Kingston (pop. 28,869), 32 miles up the Hudson, went without fluorides. In both towns, schoolchildren between the ages of six and twelve were methodically checked for signs of cavities...

Hilleboe, state health commissioner: the children of Newburgh had 33% fewer cavities than those of non-fluorinated Kingston; the number of Newburgh youngsters reaching the age of six without any cavities at all had more than doubled. Dr. Hilleboe was confident that fluorination had proved its worth, recommended that other New York municipalities-including Kingston-put it into effect. The cost: about 10? per capita a year...

Dr. Schemm learned that many medical men had suspected that the way to get rid of the water in dropsy was to give more water, not less. Cautiously he began to test the theory on heart-disease patients bloated by dropsy...
