Continuing the discussion of the
question How Frequently are the
Tonsils a Gateway for Systemic In
fectiOn?", we quote some OF the re-
marks of leading physicians and spe-
cialists who took part in the meet
ing of the American Medical associ-
alton at Atlantic City last June.
DR.. c. e. Cooper of Colorado stated
that he found it helpful in learning
whether or not the tonsil is infected,
in chronic cases o. JOINT trOubIe, to
plunge an aspirating needle into the
tonsil and draw a drop or two of fluid
from its center A culture from this
fluid would show what bacteria were
present in the substance of the ton
sill. If streptococci We're found. he
considered removal of the tonsils ad-
visable. He would consider some cases
of acute and chronic nephritis
(Bright's disease) an indication for
such an operation as part of the treat
ment.
DR.. r. B. Scarlet OF New Jersey
said that cheap dentistry, in which
teeth were filled but the roots left in
fected, causes much trouble with the
tonsils, and indirectly with the gener-
al health. An X-ray photograph viii

cheap dentist, by locating an abscess
