Diseased Tonsils-SwoIIcn GIands.
 The most common and universal ailmeut Of school children is cular-- ed tOnsiIs. In the larger cities. where medical inspection is followed, chill dren are sent home daily with a note to parents, stating shat the child is defective and cannot properly pro- 'gress because it has enlarged tonsiIs, diseased tonsiIs. adeuoils and poly pus.
 The distracted parents. if able to do so, take the little one to the fam Lily physicians, most of whom will suggest surgery as the only way. op- erauons are a short cut. with litg1e work. The tonsiIs are put there for purpose. They have justly been call ed "the policemen of the throat If tho policeman on the street is in jured in the performance O. his duty of protecting the public, would you cut off his head when you knew that no one could take hls place. If rob bers injure yoEr door while trying ts rob your house, would you re- move the Goor2
 No other organ of the child's body can take the place of the tonsiIs if they are cut out Soothe them, nurse them, remove the iufIamr alton that caused them to enlarge. Ask your doctor to clean out the pockets or crypts as they are called, and give them a chance to set we'll
 Follow the simple directions which I will give you for cleaning and treat ing diseased tOrsils. You can probaO- ly get some good nurse to do it, and if you cannot get a nurso to do it for you, do it yourself. It is simple and easy. Ii will not hurt the child in the least and in 3 short time you will see a decided Improvement and q little later q complete cure
 It is the law of nature for these two little glands there in the throat to fight valiantly to preserve the lungs and to prevent the inflamma- ton from going on to do still greater damage. When they become exhaust ed and filled with the pOisOns they have arrested, their little bodies be- come swollen and inflamed- If help of the right sort is given to them, the inflammation will go down and they will quickly return to a normal size and be ready for another fight. If help is not EEen, the inflammation and the pOisOns may remain and they become enlarged tonsils- If still fur ther neglected, pus may be formed in them and be poured out into the food as 1t passes to the stomach. Lit tie holes are then frequently form ed in them and in these holes or crypts, small particles of food may lodge. It decays, amebic germs spread rapidly in this deCayed food and in some cases pass into the alimentary canal with the food and causes a disease called amebic dysentery. More frequently these germs get into the blood and from that vehicle find lodgment in the joints. Then We have inflammation and pains that we call rheumatism
 The doctor is again cal4ed and he diagnoses it, in the young, inflamma- tory rheumatism; in older people, arthritis In some cases the germs attack the heart and he then calls it endocarditis, all of which sounds very learned and is very terrifying, but medicines and liniments will do no good because the cause is not renov- ed. and this should be done by clean ing out these little crypts and healing them up and by proper treatment re- storing the policemen of the throat to health and vigor.
 The doctor may suggest surgery and tell you that the sufferer cannot get well without if, but in this he is mistaken. Just as logical to cut off your useful foot because it has a boil on it or a corn on your big toet
