Chronic Hoarsness Is
Worthy Of Close Attention
Continue Huskiness may be Diph-
iberia, Throat TumOrs or Tuber-
culOsis, medical authorities say

Hoarseness is not to be lightly
dismissed as My Old laryngitis in
view of the serious significance
given this common symptom in a
bulletin issued by the Educational
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association today.
It accompanies several fatal di-
seases, the committee declares and
may be a sign of diphtheria, tuber-
culosis of the larynx and cancerous
tumors of the vocal cords.
In children, particularly, diph-
liberia of the larynx or oncoming
Group are to be thought of and in
chronic cases small tumors of the
vocal cords, the bulletin says. The
particular form of diphtheria
which attacks. the larynx demands
immediate attention examination
and treatment. The death rate is
actually 95 per cent in untreated
cases. OF course the immunity con-
ferred by toxin anti-toxin and avail
able from any physician or health
department is effective for this.
Chronic hoarseness in children
may be due to enlarged adenoids
or diseased tonsiis. But if it is due
to tumors of the vocal cords i'm
mediate treatment is important
since the tumors are apt to grow
progressively worse. Diagnosis of
such a condition is made by exam
ination of the larynx directly or
indirectly by mirrors.
