Buzzng Noises
I have a buzzing sound in my
ears all the time. What should l
do?
Buzzing and ringing noises in the
ears are usually the result of an in
flammation in the internal part OF
the a (the so-called middle. cary
and this in turn commonly comes
from chronic catarrh in the head.
The condition is often successfully
treated. but usually requires the
services of a nose and throat spe-
, cialist. The trouble a. subside
spontaneously. If you do not get
better soon. it is suggested that you
have your family physician refer you
to some first class specialist.
Growth i'm Nose
My little girl. Z, has a growth in
her nose. 1t is zeal hard. red and
very sore. 1t is the size of a large
bean, has been there five or six
months. 1 had her. adenoids and ton
sils taken out three weeks ago. 1t
causes her to talk through her nose.
Doctors said it was caused from the
adenoids, and would probably take
care of itself.
1t would be impossible to say,
without seeing 1t, just what the OBJ
struction in your little girls nose
may be. 1t may be IN ~overgrowth
or outgrowth of one of the bones in
the nose, or it may be a polypus.
The late spring or early summer is
the best time. for the removal of a
growth of this kind. and if your
physician finds an ope t.tion is neces-
sary he will probably advise you to
have it done. In the meantime he
will. I am sure, be very glad to &C.

other palliative treatment that the
