LEARN OF ADENOIDS

BY u. 8. Public Health Service

AZURE intends that we
N should breathe through the
nose and has so arranged
that the air is strained. warmed,
and moistened as it passes
through the nose This is very
important. Unfortunately, about
10 per cent of all children have
adenoids which interfere with free
breathing through the nose: and
since 80 many serious results fol-
low such condition, parents
should learn something about
Ad"ncids and their treatment.
Owing TO their position and
structure. adenoids are not only
specially subject 10 infection and
inflammation. but they also in.
terfere with breathing. II Is easy
TO understand, therefore. that
their harmful effects are pro.
duced in two ways: First, by the
Absorption into the system OF
poisonous material when they are
infected; and, second. by mechan.
tcally interfering with the free
passage of air through the nose
In fact. one OF the first results OF
the growth of adenoids is mouth
breathing. which is Usually aSSo
ciated with a discharge from the
nose.
When this condition develops.
the air breathed in reaches the
throat and lungs in an unpurifled
condition. Moreover 1t is not suf
ficiently warmed or moistened
The child is unable to blow his
nose. In a short time children in
such condition begin TO suffer
from repeated colds the nasal
discharge continues and takes on
the character of a chronic nasal
catarrh. Unless proper treatment
ts now undertaken. the condition
soon grows worse. and the child s
nasal breathing becomes more
and more obstructed.
This ia by no means all the
harm that is done by adenoids
