in recent years a new problem Of
sinus infection, sinusitis as it is
called. And physicians are telling
us that there is more sinus infection
now because of the early removal
of tonsils which were doing some of
the work done by the sinuses. The
increase in the amount of work to
be done by the sinuses-filtering
blood and air-preventing nose,
throat and chest ailments, is in
creasing the number of cases of
sinusitis. Ne
An examination of school children
with and without tonsils by DR.. Kay
ser, Rochester, N. Y, who has done
so much research work on tonsils,
found that sinus infection occurred
more often in those whose tonsils
had been removed during their ear
ly years. h'.fsss's + II r 'ss
Allergy Sometimes the Cause.
That sinus trouble is not always
due to infection is pointed out by
DR.. E. c. Mitchell, Memphis, Tenn,
in West Virginia Medical Journal,
who states that allergy sensitive
ness to various substances) can set
up an irritation in a sinus which
the patient, and sometimes the ply
stefan, may believe due to infec-
ton. He points out that if allergy
or sensitiveness is causing the dis
turbance in the sinus, the material
dropping into the throat is liquid
or fluid and the lining of sinus and
nose is pale, whereas in infection
Of the sinus, the material is a thick
mucous and the lining Of sinus and
back of nose is red and DOGGY.

Relief for the
Hard of Hearing

MOST physicians dislike recon-
AvA mending new remedies or
forms Of treatment to those who
are hard of hearing because they do
not wish to raise false hopes in
these patients. The hard Of hearing
patient, because he misses so much
of what is going on around him,
gradually grows moody, keeps look
ing inward instead of outward, and
to have his hopes raised only to be
dashed down, increase his mental
depression.
The use of prostigmin-an ovary
extract - has given some help in
cases Of hard Of hearing due to ca
tarrh.
From the Ear, Eye, Nose and
Throat Monthly, comes the report of
another series Of cases of partial"
deafness in which prostigmin was
used.
Twenty-eight patients with head
noises and acute or recent blockage
Of the eustachian tube Cube carry
ing air from back of throat to inner
side of ear drum), most of whom
had marked deafness, were given in
jections of l cubic centimeter of
prostigmin methyl-sulphate, / to
1000 solution, at intervals of from
three to five days, together with the
opening up of the eustachian tube
by the use of an instrument and
massage. There was rapid relief
from the annoying symptoms and
few patients required more than five
injections even where there had
been loss of hearing for as long as
one month.
Thirtythree chronic cases of deaf
ness were treated by similar injec-
tons two to three times weekly, with
resulting gradual improvement or
very slow improvement.
Remember, prostigmin is gland
product and should be given by, or
only under the direction of physi-
clan.

Fol some time past, wide-awake.
practical-minded educators have
seen that America is preparing
too many of its young people for
white-collar jobs.
This last year has made it even
more evident that the world of the
near future will be ever less a
whlte-collar world; that the great
need at this time is for skilled
workers.
And yet our high schools keep
turning out hordes of young PEG

believe that they will get white.

Their training, while not usually
fitting them for amp specific white
collar job, nevertheless is meant
to educate them for a white-collar
world. They are expected to
stumble into some kind of office
job which they can quickly learn
to hold down.
