ADENOID SYMPTOMS
IN GROWING CHILDREN

CDR. J. w. Shanks, nose and throat
surgeon, New Peck Building, IS Mon
roe avenue, Grand Rapids, Mich, has
prepared series of educational ar
ticles on adenoids, tonsils, catarrh,
and deafness, extracts of which will

gan Railway C0mpany.-Edit0r.
Mothers, fathers, and school teach
ers owe a duty to the children under
their care, and their first duty is to
see whether the child is suffering with
adenoids. This can be quickly deter
mined. If the boy or girl is troubled
with mouth breathing, is behind in
school studies, is restless, lacks am
bition, catches cold easily, and has
earache, it is an indisputable sign that
the child has adenoids.
Adenoids grow quickly and OBJ
struet the nose breathing. 1t is one
of the worst Affections that can be-
fall a growing child, because mouth
breathing retards the development
of the nose and upper jaw. The roof
of the mouth becomes high and mar
row, the upper lip narrow, and the
mouth small. The mouth becomes so
small that when the second set of
teeth come, there is not sufficient
room, and the teeth are irregular.
Parents do not want their children
to be less keen mentally than are
their companions, and teachers do not
want dull pupils. That is one reason
why mothers, fathers, and teachers.
should watch the child closely, and
act quickly when any of the symp-
toms appear. Give the child a chancel
