NOT DUE TO BAD TONSlLS
Theory That Rheumatism May Be-

The prevalent idea that there is .
distinct relationship between the ton.

we're jolt in a report by Drs. 8. J.
Grove, s. Shelton Watkins and Alma
s. Rothholz in the bulletin of the Johns
Hopkins hospital. These investigators
followed up nine cases after the tom
dis had been removed. Only two
allowed Improvement, two showed no
Improvement and five Of the cases are
much worse. Yet in each Of these
:ases It seems certain that the tonsils
we're the source of infection.
Tonsillectomy, as cutting out the
sonsils is called, is always trying OPP

arthritis are generally middle-aged,
and the disease is generally well ad.
yanced when they seek medical advice
There is often marked anaemia and q
distinct lessening of ability to with.
stand pain. Therefore it is doubtful
II they should be subjected to such a

The Investigators express skepticism
as to the efficacy of tonsil removal in
other rheumatic affections
fever and chorea, for instance, but say
that when the tonsils really are the
primary source of infection their re-
moval may materially help the cure by
preventing constant reinfection.

Arrangements have been made to
have barrels placed outside of the en-
theatres in this city where the peo-

ed for by the Red Cross. Gifts in

fering humanity at Paris, win 50 glad
