of the chronic cases get well or are
relieved. You probably have heard
the story that tonsil operations on
adults are very dangerous. There is
not one particle more danger for an
adult than for a child. An older per-
son may not feel as good as the
child for the first few days after the
operation because his recuperative
powers are not so good Yet tonsil
operations are major operations and
should not be considered lightly or
as being a minor procedure. They
should be performed by a competent
specialist, thoroughly trained in his
work.
Now just a few more words in
closing. If you are suffering from

Doctors are often confronted by
this query from patients: "How is it
that our parents or grandparents
did not have all this trouble with
their tonsils? No one ever heard of
these things years ago."
Yes they did, but in those days
neuritis, rheumatism, heart and kid
ney maladies, ulcers of the stomach
and some forms of blindness or
deafness, were considered vista
tions of Providence, and were more
or less taken for granted as inevi-
table. Now we know that they are
preventabIe because we can trace
their causes.
Rheumatism is rapidly passing the
way of other preventable diseases,
due largely to the removal of ton
sils and adenoids from young chill
dren during the past few years. This
decline has been so marked that
many prominent medical authors
and teachers have written about it
and produced hospital records to
substantiate their conclusions. In a
recent article reporting a series of
10000 children who had their tom
sils and adenoids removed and 28,-
900 children who were not operated
on, the author concludes that the
child without tonsils has a decided
ly better chance to escape rheumatic
infection than the child who still
has tonsils. Heart complications are
very common following rheumatism,
and this article shows that in 1870
the condition developed before OPP
