They are in rcl-ftt on to the rest of the tissue of the throat,, which doctors call lym ohuid tissue, that is the adenoids and lingual tonsils. And it may be said that when the tonsils are enlarged there are adenoids present also. Normally, the healthy tonsils are . ? :n;- measure a protection against ?invasion of microorganisms; pvotect've power, however, is ? ! ruul w'vn this limit is passed :h y ire a positive source of .dnnirer^ For when a tonsil has been infected, it- Iiecoiiies enlarged and cryptc like ] ?a ypniipe with many small pockets ! in its surface and these pockets get j fik'.."./'d up with, food particles form- ; in% . regular trap for bacterial in- ! r?:!ii,ions.

Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Galloway vis the possble indicat ions for lonsd fectoiny. Mill it is well known that infected tonsils may give rise to un usual symtoms, such as periodic at tacks of vomiting, certain gastro intestinal disturbances and poor ap petite. And for the present the Koneral consensus of opinion is that tlx re are too few vat her than too many tonsils beiny: removed. As for the operation, the tonsils may be rehiaved at any ago and at any season with.in. two weeks after :Vii miite attack. Hut more than ever, we are ju.-tif ed in considering tpn sillcctomy a hospital procedure and most of us are inclined to depi'-i-at? the practice of operating in the home or office unless competent assistants and adequate equipment are avail able. This is not always a simple op eration and a few complications will occur under the most favorable con ditions. So consult your family physician and have him send your chilil to the hospital of your cho re or to one of the hospitals specialis ing in tonsil work, or ear, nos,> and throat work. There are many well equipped ones here in New York C'tty : Tpei vised by competent sur geon.: who are (raped alone; this jii.i ticnlar Hup. 1 ii the year 1 '.'00. there were one thousand tonsils removed from pa tients in ,\V?' Vitriv City. I.a.-l year, there were over one hundred v'ious ahd' removed. This statement in i: self should be an indication of ts importance and as a result there are many mure h ; lthy, happy and use fur citizens. Again, let ih'e repeat, that if your child is suffering from mouth breath ing or. foul breath, attacks of sore throat, runn'ng ears, frequent colds and sinus trouble, then consult your family physician" today, not tomor row.
