The Road to Health
BY CARL G. ROBERTS. MD.
REMOVING TONSiIS

1t was quite q shock when Mrs.
Dolan absolutely refused to con-
slider having four-qear-old jim
my's tonsils removed. Jimmy
had an, older brother and a baby
sister. Each time / had treated
any one Of them before, their.
mother had been intelligent and
cooperative in her attitude.
We were discussing the matter
in my office shorty after Jimmy
mad recovered from another
severe attack of tonsillits. !.
know that the childs tonsils,
tonsiis were badly diseased and
should be taken out, because
they were dangerous to his
health and they would cause adj
ditional future attacks of tonsil-
litis.
Mrs. Dolan told me that she
couldn't see "any good reason"
for the operation now that Jimmy
again had recovered from his
tonsillitis and seemed perfectly
well. She had heard, she said,
that the tonsils were a kind of
protection for the throat and
wondered if they shotQ1 be re-
moved. Besides, she added, she
would worry about so small a
boy as Jimmy going under an
operation
stated that although normal
y the tonsils may serve as a
protection for the throat against
infection, when they become en-
larged and chronically infected
like Jimmy's they are just the
opposite. They then become re-
servoirs of infections and harm
ful germs and SO can be the
source of the spread of disease
and poison throughout the body.
| Jinmy's tonsils, diseased as they
We're, endangering his health and
even his life.
! I sympathized with the mo-
theirs natural worry over her
child's having an operation. But
l assured Mrs. Dolan that the
removal of tonsfls was a very
common and safe operation to-
day and there was no reason why
JiInmy's should not be complete
ly successful.
AS l talked, | could see Mrs.
Dolan was gradually giving in.
Before she realized it, she was
actually helping me to plan
Jimmy's, visit to the hospital and
was concerned over such things
as whether or not Jimmy could
bring his fayorite stuffed animal.
OF y course, not every sore
throat 7or every case OF tonsilli-
tbs means diseased tonsi1s. that
must be removed. But by careful
examination of. the tonsils be-
tween attacks the physician can
tell whether or not they should
come out.
Doctors do not advise a tonsil
operation to be performed at the
same time that. the patient is.
suffering from tonsillitis. Such
an operation at that time might
be dangerous and might cause
the infection to spread to other
parts of the body. Instead, doc
tors recommend that the opera
ton be performed after the
throat is no longer inflafned and

though the fight itself was terrible
letdown after the terrific scraps the
two boys put on in their previous en-
counters, it did settle one thing had
often wondered about and that was,
how accurate is Don Dunphy in his
broadcasts of the New York fights?
We saw the fight on the television
set, but we listened to the descrip-
ton on a radio set up alongside it,
with Dunphy at the mike, and his
blow-by-blow account was as near
perfect as anything could be. While
Bill Corum, in his between the
rounds chatter gave you the inn
preston that Williams was pacing
and would come on in the
later rounds-although it was obvi-
Gus to any real student of boxing,
after the seventh round, that
Gavilan couldn't lose unless he was
knocked out--Dunphy's unbiased re-
port of almost every blow was as
accurate as the human eye could
make it, and anyone scoring the fight
Just on Dunphy's blow-by blow re-
port, would have come up with just
about the same decision as the
referee and the judges did Gavilan
