The gravest damage to teeth is done'

during these' years that the teeth are
most susceptible to decay. This is
due to the fact that they are still
growing or undergoing development
and have not acquired the hardness
and resistance that they will have

From a London coffee-house keeper,

name, •
Towards the end of the seventeenth
century those interested in shipping
matters were accustomed to meet at
a small coffee-house in Tower Street.
This was•;itept by a man named Edward
Lloyd, who subsequently removed to
the corner of Abchurch Lane and Lom-
bard Street. -

In 1696 Lloyd started a newspaper,
which gave a list of ships arrivals and
sailings, The newspaper, which he
called "Lloyd's List," succeeded until
its founder published an article ques-

Lords.
Edward Lloyd was censured and his
paper was suppressed. It was not un-
