Second growth tonsils sorr\etim?s cause serious trouble, authorities discover. ? By Or. Jam?> W. Barton"-1 A PATIENT consulted hia physician about a sore throat. The physician informed him that it was his tonsils that were likely causing the symp toms. The patient smiled and stated that if it were his tonsila he must have grown another pair as he had had his tonsils removed when he was 10 years old. The physician made no re ply but he knew that the ton sils had not been completely removed at that age or they would not have returned. When tonsils are lier age than six years, our throat specialists tell us that they may some times return. There are many patients with arthri tis who have their teeth carefully ex amined by X-ray and other methods who never think of Or. Barton their tonsils being the cause because they had their tonsils removed in childhood. They admit that they have remnants of tonsils, or tags, still present in the throat, and also that they sometimes have a sore throat but there is such a small piece or pieces of the tonsils left that they could not possibly cause the arthritis or rheumatism. Infection Often Hidden. The great amount of scar tissue which resulted from the healing of the partly completed operation for removal, seals or covers the sur face of the piece of tonsil left in, and underneath this scar there may be much infection. Because this stub or tag of tonsil is not a deep or dark red in color, as with the usual infected tonsil, it is not sus pected of having this infection be neath it and so it continues to pour infection into the blood and arthritis or heart disease may follow. The thought then in searching for the cause of arthritis is that not only the cases of inflamed tonsils with frequent sore throats should be investigated but these "second growth" tonsils and tags should be investigated also. ? ? ? Insidious Nature Of Modern Ills "The average person Is not par ticularly interested in the fact that cancer may kill him, nor is he se riously concerned with his death. The average person does not think about his health, but he does think about the impression he will make, his social standing, his capabilities, his ability to beat a neighbor at a game, his chances of promotion and h^s appearance. And there are very few' men and women, whatever they say, who, in their hearts would not like to meet their social circle with a greater confidence, their occupa tion with more proficiency, th^ir em barrassments with calmer self-as surance, their domestic life with more complacent certainty and the world in general with the additional cheerfulness and vigor which ren ders life a vivid actuality rather than a passage or existence." I am quoting Dr. T. Wingate Todd, Cleveland, in Clinical Medi cine and Surgery, because, in the above simple manner, he points out the difference between a life that is a passage or an existence and a life that is a vivid actuality. There is certainly a great difference between simply being free of disease and enjoying buoyant health. The trouble with the average per son and his physician is that neither of them is interested in the other unless some real disease is present. Yet, as Dr. Todd points out, disease today has changed. "It no longer slays ruthlessly in epidemics, but insidiously (secretly) cripples hearts, hardens arteries, ruins teeth, warps and stunts development, shat ters nerves and produces morbid moods and manners which destroy or cripple confidence and efficien cy." Tiredness, fear and despondency are the symptoms of the early stages of disability. The thought then for the physi cian is not to spend all his time and energy on those who are al ready diseased in mind and body (worthy as this may be), but to look more fully or completely into the case of the average person who is restless, discontented and impatient.
