REFORM IN AMERICAN SURGERY
In this column Aug. 3, 1926, I

said:
Readers frequently INQUIRE about
electric treatment in lieu Of
surgical removal Of diseased ton
sis. All I can say about that Is
that II my tonsils were concerned
there should be no electric"
treatment.
On May 16, 1929, said:
Even II 1t (diathermy) were Of
no other service than the desicca-
ton or coagulation treatment Of
diseased and enlarged tonsils,
should still classify it among the
great advances Of modern unedi-
cine.
Obviously my opinion six years ago
was based on ignorance. No doubt
the inquiries about electric" treat
ment referred to diathermy, but as I
then knew nothing about diathermy
I assumed that the inquiries referred
to an old discarded practice Of des-
troying tonsil issue with the electro
cautery. which was equivalent to
burning with red hot iron.
The modern method of extirpating
tonsils with diathermy is not cauter-
ration. The instrument, the applica-
tor used by the physician never be-
comes hot at all. This simple fact
distinguishes the diathermy method
from the electro-cautery. I mention
1t now because there are still too
many physicians who. like myself four
or five years ago, are ignorant Of the
character of the diathermy method
and condemn 1t under the misappre-
hension that 1t is revival of the
crude electro-cautery which achieved
oblivion after brief vogue thirty or
forty years ago.
Altho the instrument. applicator or
electrode used in diathermy treat

the resistance Of the tissues to the
passage Of the current. The current
being absolutely under the control
Of the operator, II the physician has
the necessary technical knowledge and
training for this work he can pro-
duce precisely the degree Of heat he
desires and moreover he can confine
its influence precisely within the lin

tically pasteurized: 1t may be desic-
Gated; or finally 1t may be coagu-
lated. But NEVER charred or burned
The chief objection that has de.
tered physicians from adopting the
diathermy method as the method Of
choice for removal Of tonsils has been
the fear that it would leave too mucl,
scar tissue, which Is commonly called
"adhesions." But this fear, as I have
explained, was based on misappre.

face between his two hands,
- holding it upturned like Z

ness, the dark anxiety Of her eyes.
He shook his head slightly, q
little bitter smile on his lips. "Dar-
ling, what are we going to do?
When I want you so. -"
s'Hush. Don't think!"
He ierked his head back nerv.
ously. ''Think" his voice was
rough. "How can I help it? Want
ing you! Years and years stretch
ing ahead. What Of the years
ahead. Ardeth? What about
them!"
The roughness Of that throbbed
through her with mingled pain and
joy. She was listening to his voice,
not his words.
"A web, Ardeth. I can't ret out.
Did you hear that? Not . chance.
She said that-Cecile said that
"Cecile!" That startled through
70 her hearing.
"That other time when-when

found one Of the little flowers IN

Cecile recognized it."
Ardeth pushed him away %
sudden binding rage swept down
upon her. Searching her. Shaking
through her body. In that moment
she could have killed Cecile. Could
have flung herself at that beauti.
full, cold face. tearing It with hel

More RESPONSIVE

That faint "quack, quack" which
you heard Saturday may have been
the call Of a duck rushing the sea-
son on . northward journey to his
summer playground or 1t may have
been echoes from the final session Of
the 72nd congress.
For We will have lame ducks with
US no longer. The last Of them
limped from the national scene with
the adjournment Of congress at noon
Saturday.
The entire session passed from
the scene without much public re.
greet. Conditions over which they
had no control may have made it
impossible for the nations lawmak-
ers to do much, but that excuse will
bring no Joy to the hard-pressed
citizen.
Not all OF US agree on what con.
gress might have done. to be sure. but
everyone will Join In attacking It for
relatively small record Of accom-
plishment.
Senator Frazier, speaking in the
senate Friday, made vigorous protest
against adjournment without taking
steps to straighten out the agricul-
tural situation, but the protest fell
on deaf ears. The same forces which
blocked action early in the session
were in control at the close. Lame
ducks. expressing the will of the
people by whom they had been re-
pudiated, could not we'll be expected
to carry out the dictates of the cleo
torate.
But 1t will be different in the fu-
ture. Congress, as q result OF the
Norris amendment to the constitu-
ton, probably will be more respon-
sive to the will of the people. The
task and duty Of the people will be
to make that will clear and unmis-
taxable.

food value of peanuts, and whether
they are good for person. q. A. K)
Answer-Yes, peanuts are good for
anybody. A pound of the edible por-
ton yields over $500 calories, or about
three times the nutritive or energy
value Of beef steak. People should
use peanuts more freely in the fam
