HAVE TONsILS REMOVED.
Advice of Physician to Persons VIII
Desire Long Life.

CHICAGO. May 17.-'If you are a well
developed specimen of physical health
and wish to remain 50 to a ripe old age.
have your tonsils removed"
This was the advice given by DR.. Ira
o. Benman Of Toledo. in discussing a
paper on throat infection. read yesterday
by Dr. M. H. whitlock Of Charleston. Ill.
at the closing session Of the Illinois
Homeopathic Medical Association.
ITO a child between one and five years
of age the tonsils are Q godsend." he
continued, .'but to an adult they are as
dangerous as a rusty nail n the foot.
Nature seems to have placed the tonsils
in the human body as a protection against
infection to which the adult Is not sus-
ceptible.
rheumatic cases often are benefited
or cured by their removal and tuber-
culosis many times has been found to
have had its origin from decayed matter
formed about the tonsils."
