In rare cases Of malignancy. On
the contrary, there is good reason
for leaving some tonsil or adequate
! tissue in the throat when we are
striving to eradicate infection. The
normal tonsil or adenoid tissue
probably serves a useful purpose
in the line of defense against SUBJ
sequent infections.
The trouble is that the brass spe-
cialists are not concerned much
about pathology, but rather with
the number of operations they can
do. Not all nose and throat spe-
cialists, but the brass boys; doctors
who launch themselves as special
lists from the day they receive a
license to prpactice; SO bright that
they require no years of experi-
ence in general practice to At them
for their chosen speciality. Brass
| specialism Is a swell racket. The
A. M. A. and the American Col
lege Of Surgeons foster and pro-
mote it. The brass specialists find
easy picking among the newly
rich and the snobs in his country.
| There are lot of morons in Amer
lea, you know, and they like to be
attended exclusively by specialists.
The alleged dangers" and insult
ficiencies of diathermy (electro-co-
agulation) treatment of infected
tonsils are hypothetical objections
conjured up by brass specialists
who know nothing about the meth
cd.
The mortality of surgical tonsil-
lectomy in the hands of the best
nose and throat specialists is scam
dalous, in view of the unassailable
record that has been achieved by
progressive physicians who use the
diathermy method in the treatment
of infected tonsils.

Q.-The slope OF my single roof
is very gradual, and the rain
seeps into the valley. How can i
remedy this?
