SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

TNoNSILs have been removed
Il wholesale during the last 10 or
Is years. This is because many
tonsils have been demonstrated to
be the seats of pus collections,
called focal infections. In many
such instances diseases such as
neuritis, rheumatism, Irregularities
Of the heart and mental disorders
have cleared up following the re-
moval of the tonsils. The opera
ton comprised a great forward
step in medical practice. But UNI
fortunately, as happens in prac-
tically all such examples Of prog
ress, the good thus demonstrated
has led to Alnquestioned abuse and
tonsils are being removed not only
on suspicion but in cases in which
there are no rational grounds to
condemn them. OF course, the
medical profession always can be
relied upon sooner or later to COR
rect its own errors.
A halt on this abuse has been
called by DIR. Fred Stoker, Of the
Royal College of Surgeons. He
calls attention Hancet) to the fact
that the tonsils are the small pro-
truding Jumps at the back of the
throat which swell and get sore
when we have cold. The term is
sometimes used to include adenoids
as we'll; these are collections of
uir,aS1an ftoS,.1 (HI,,Y,a y1Inof5 k;-.,,a,JN
collected at the back of the nose.
When this latter mass gets swollen
it prevents proper nose-breathing,
and the child becomes what is
known as mouth breather,"
with the lower lip hanging down
and the mouth always partly open.
This in itself gives a stupid,
loutish look to the face, but it is
made permanent by actual NAL
formation of the bones of the
palate and nose. II a small child
always breathes through it's mouth
instead Of its nose. the structure
q the face is badly laid down and
the features are marred for life.
Tonsiis and adenoids, DIR. Stoker
explains, are part of an almost
complete circlet of this, lymphoid
tissue which guards the entrance
10 the gullet and windpipe.
Smaller collections Of lymphoid
tissue are placed between the ade.
mold group and the tonsil group
and also on the hack of the
tongue. They are there to filter
germs from food and air, SO that
they do not reach the delicate
internal organs. They have
therefore a very important func-
ton in preserving the health of
the individual, especially during
the early years when the child
has not had time to develop blood
immunity to the common disease
germs, which it is constantly
meeting. Too many doctors are
overwhelmed to condemn tonsils
just because they happen to be
enlarged, and to blame them for
obscure ailments, "Toxaemias, -
when neither the teeth nor the
bowels are at fault. Parents are
often responsible, for they ask
anxiously, "Is it the tonsils?"
when they are dissatisfied with
the intelligence, the speech, the
physique or even the habits of
their children. The tonsils are
constantly removed on suspicion
for complaints of all kinds. from
rheumatism to mental disorder,
and the surgeon is comforted by
the thought that, even II the
operation does no good, 1t will at
any rate do no harm

An X-ray apparatus has been
perfected which will photograph
the heart at the instant of pause
between pulsations, insuring a

With the aim of outwitting
smaller dealers who retail copies
of their gown creations as genu.

The dairy industry in the United
States uses the X-ray to examine
the location of the holes in cheese.
1t has been found that this is an
important factor in the proper
aging and seasoning of cheese.
