300 CHILDREN IN
THIS COUNTY NEED
TONSILS REMOVED
Health Officer Says Tonsils Are of No
Use Anyway-LOcal Surgeons
Offer to Remove TOnsils
For Minimum Charge.


DR.. v. d. Guittard, County Health
officer, makes this instructive and in
teresting statement on tonsils:
If the tonsils perform any useful
function in the human body, no shark
in physiology, savant or weisenheimer
has ever found 1t out.
Some vague theories have been pro-
pounded to account for their presence,
but the fact remains that they are
about as unnecessary and useless as
the vermiform appendix and just as
dangerous.
The single, solitary function ever
conceived for them was that they Sc
creted some secret, baffling-to-science
fluid which was necessary to the
growth Of the human body, an "inter-
nal secretion" so-called. This theory
has been relegated to the limbo of for
cotton and unproven fancies and spec
ulatlons.
The fact OF the matter is that these
superfluous appendages are situated
in the throat on either side at a stra-
tegic point, just like the Pillars Of
Hercules. They do not guard the en-
trance to the lungs and stomach as
their position prominently fits them
10 do, but they do gather in their warm
embrace any luxury loving germ that
meanders along. And then they nour-
sh this aforesaid germ and coddle it,
until It becomes lusty and deadly. The
tonsils are veritable hothouses for OBJ
noxious germs. And then again these
tonsils are closely connected with
other glands and chains OF glands, and
any infection can easily and readily
spread TO them and then onward to the
great organs of the body.
| We hear a great deal about focal
Infection" as a cause OF disease and
general impaired condition OF the hui
man machinery. BY this infection is
simply meant, local infection, a col
lection OF pus or broken down tissue
that eventually finds its way In the
blood stream and thus poisons the
whole body.
Focal infections" do undoubtedly
cause disease and other septic condi-
tions. The tonsils are famous, even
notorious for the seat Of such infec-
tions. A pus pocket in them will grad
ually drain from them through the
above mentioned chains OF glands, and
create bad conditions generally.
AS many as three hundred school
children in the county have been found
upon inspection to have enlarged and
diseased tonsils.
Arrangements have been made with
a group of bright and skillful surgeons
who have up-to-date equipment tc
have these tonsils removed wherever
desired II you do not feel able to pay
a high fee for the operation, no mat
ter, pay what you can. If you are un
able to pay anything at all, 1t will b.
done free.
This is being done for the welfare o
your children. The surgeons know l
will be of immense benefit to you
child and are willing to perform thi
operation at minimum charge.
Notify the County Health Office an,
the time and place for the operation
will be arranged.

Smyrna times., 1922-11-15

1t is not to early for Smyrna to get
plans in shape for having its town
charter amended by the coming Leg
islature. One thing should be done and
that is to do away with wards or dis
tricts and elect our Councilmen at
large. If a three commission system,
such as our school board, is the thing
for Smyrna, let's have it! Closer
working bodies can accomplish more
by always having a working quorum,
and with the salaries of seven dis
tributed among three,it makes it more
worth their while to be working mem
bers. There are a number of changes
needed in our charter and it is time
to discuss these changes and be ready
when the Legislature meets to present
a bill for consideration.
Smyrna times., 1922-11-15

in order to bring in the revenue ac-
cruing from it? What that revenue
will be for the first year of the laws
operation has not been officially dis
closed, and will not be until the col
lector presents his report to the gov
ernor. 1t has been supposed the gross
revenue would be more than $25O,OOO,
but what the costs of collection have
been is a matter of conjecture.
"To a great majority of our hard
pressed taxpayers the ready answer
will be that no substitution should be
made, but that the loss of the net
revenue by the repeal of the law
should be met by reasonable economy
in expenditure. There is most invit-
ing field for economy, and there is no
doubt an intelligent consideration of
this subject would result in economies
that would affect a saving much great
er in extent than the net filing fee re-
ceipts.
"Still, the one valid purpose of the
filing fee imposition-to compel all
citizens to contribute some amount
each year to the public revenues
should not be lost sight of. 1t was not
the exaction of three dollars that ere
ated such a strong opposition to thi;
law, but the iniquitous manner of it
assessment and collection.
"The capitation taX,heretofore tal
in name only, might supply the def
cheney and achieve this purpose. Th
law authorizes tax of this characte
of not less than 25 cents or more tina
, S1.25. Collection has been a ,th
: smaller amount having been gravel
: fixed and then almost entirely ignore
'The legislature could provide for
: capitation tax of two or three dollar
= and arrange for its collection by e2
/ isting agencies, so that the net re
= ceipts might be considerable. 1t migl
a be we'll if it could be imposed as a res
n istration fee, but that would requil
a an amendment to the Constitutio
n But that it could be honestly assesst
f and collected, with good results,
d not doubted"
