Adenoids.
Jim, nlnu. years old. thin, pale. Irrit
able and distinctly deaf. two years
be bind -children of his ace at school;
partly because he lost time form many
Bore throats; partly because he wa*
dull lu i.U icrsona.
When 1" bis sixth year he wns ex- >
amined by the school doctor, who re
ported "enlarged tonsils and adenoids;
moulh breather; underweight. " His
mother was told that he would have
frequent colds and soro throat, would
probally catch all the diseases going,
which he regularly did, and would not
grow up~t? be a strong man, unless
these defects were corrected.
His mother said he would outgrow
his tonsils, that it was better to have
a sick child thati a dead one, that she
knew of a child that had never been j
well since he had been operated on ]
and, that even if she were willing,]
the fright of it would kill Jimmy. She
could not even get him to a dentist,
though his teeth were bad. Moreover,
a doctor had told Jimmy's father
when achild, that he should have his
tonsils out, but his parents wouldn't
have it, and he had outgrown It.
It Is true that Jim's father was a
good provider even though he was
chronically catarrha.- snored habitu
ally breathed through his mouth, was
a poor mixer and had been sickly all
his life.
One day Mrs. Williams, referred to
by some, as town "busybody," called
upon Jim's mother to give her a "piece
of her mind."
Mrs. Williams believed In Women's
Rights, In mental garbage cans, with
closed covers, in babies protected
from flies ?nd other things, and spar
ed neither herself or anyone else In
her efforts to attain her ideals.
She opened tho Interview by re
marking In her sometimes pleasant,
always forceful way,, "What right
have you to keep Jimmy sfck and
miserable and make him a weak and
useless man?"
Jimmy's mother, bristling with re
sentiment, replied, "I spend nearly all
my time trying to keep him well."
"What did the doctor tell you?"
said Mrs. Williams.
"He told me he was a delicatc child,"
"Whydid he say he was a delicate
child?" <
"Well, he said Ire couldn't be well
unless he could breathe through his
nose and that he couldn't breathe
through his nose unless his tonsils
and adenoids were taken out, but that
Is a dangerous operation and I won't
have it done. My husband had tonsils
and adenoids, but he has outgrown
them."
"Was your husband in tho army?"
asked Mrs. Williams.
"No, he tried to go, but t'uey would
not have him."
"Why wouldn't they have him?"
"Well, because he has always been
delicateand he can't hear out of one
car ar.d has a small chest."
"Was l:c a delicate child?"
"Yes, and Jimmy inherits it, but
I not form my side. My people have all
been strong."
"When he was a child did they try
to lake out his tonsils and adenoids?"
? The)- did. hut his parents wouldn't
allow it."
"Does he like to be deaf and carry
his mouth open like a fly trap and
I have a sunken che3t?"
"Xo, but his father was delicate,
too."
"Do you know that if Jimmy has
his tonsils taken out and ills adenoids
cared for that in six months he will
be as strong as any boy on thiB street.
He v. ijl catch up in hi3 school and he
won't get sore throat any more :md
his hearing, at any rate, will not
1 grow any worse, but if you don't
| have it done, he may be as deaf as a
post and he will never grow up to be
a real man. Did you know that?"
"That's what the doctor said, Ifut I
don't believe 'it.''
"ftecause your husband was depriv
ed of his rights is no reason why your
son should be denied his. Give Jimmy
0 chance. I am afratd you are think
ing of yourself and not of Jimmy's
good. How do you think he will feel
when he grows up ana realizes be
cause you were selfish he didn't have
his chance?"
"Do youreally think Jimmy will
ever think that?" _ '
"I dont think it, I know it. Now
what are you going to do about It?"
In many children the tonsils are so
large and the tissue In the back of the
nose (adenoids) so overgrown that
the child has to breathe through his
mouth: some children always, some
only when these structures are swol
len by a slight cold. As "they grow
older the tendency to blocking by this
tissue becomes less marked. In the
meantime they often suffer damage
which cannot be repaired. Habitual
mouth breathing means chronic ca-|
tnrrh. |
Most of the contagious diseases are
? Implanted In the throat. v Children
J with these enlargements am parties
larly subject to these diseases, such as
diptherla, cerebro-spinal meningitis,
Infantile paralysis, measles, scarlet fe
ver. They are subject to frequent sore
ttroatB which arejlkely to Involve the
ears and make them hard of hearing.
These children breathe through
their mouths, are weak physically and
their minds are not as t>r:gtit . They
cannot be as big or as rtong or as
fine men and women as they would
It they had not this condition of the
throat. '?
This condition can be safely, quick
ly and ensliy remedied by a throat
specialist, who by a simple operation
enables the child habitually to breathe
through the nose.
