    PNEUMATIC TIRE PATENT
    December 20, 1892 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent issued for a pneumatic automobile tire that could readily and easily be detached or mounted to the rim of a wheel. The inventors were Alexander T. Brown and George Stillman of Syracuse, New York (No. 488494). They claimed as their improvement a wheel with an exterior grooved rim with flanges to retain a tire with an inflatable tube. Peripheral metal bands embedded in the tire are designed to form a bead that will be forced by air pressure upon inflation to be seated and retained in the grooved rim. Thus no permanent connection between the tire and the wheel is necessary, and no tools for tightening are required, other than those used for inflation.

    by Meredith Grey

But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

Natural, safe ways to preserve dental health and oral hygiene.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

HOLISTIC DENTISTRY People often talk about preventative medicine and mention, quite rightly, the need for correct diet, exercise and certain nutritional supplements. But many pathogens and subsequent conditions can originate in the area of the mouth. Whilst the enzymes contained in the mouth's saliva are powerful enough to fight off many toxins, they cannot eradicate all unwelcome visitors. In addition, many people have amalgam fillings which contain mercury. If this mercury leaks into the body's system there can be a host of unpleasant consequences, the most common among them being Candida.

As mercury is essentially a poison, any presence of it in the blood can also increase the workload of the liver, which again may have a number of ramifications. Dentists who embrace a natural approach to oral hygiene and dental health are, in general, in the minority. The field of complementary medicine can provide a huge number of options for the dentist seeking to augment his approach and achieve a higher degree of efficiency. From homeopathy to natural detoxification products, most holistic dentists have found that introducing natural medicinal regimes into their practices has paid dividends.

One particular practice,in Bedfordshire, England, has been utilizing this approach now for almost twenty years. The Luton Holistic Dental Practice use everything from homeopathy to herbal formulas to augment their natural, mercury-free approach to dentistry. Their main dentist, Thomas Nyerges, says, 'We have noticed that recovery time and general response to treatment is remarkably improved when we include natural medicinal supplements as a part of overall treatment.'There are, additionally, numerous testimonials extolling the benefits experienced after mercury removal. Little by little other mainstream dentists are now also beginning to incorporate a more natural approach to treatment, good news for everyone who dreads those visits to the big leather chair!
