SHOULD TONSILS COME OUT?
There is substantial evidence
that in about '20 per cent of child
ren the tonsils are either enlarged
or diseased and therefore have an.
unfavorable influence on the phys
ical development of the child. Such
tonsils should be removed.
The tonsils have assumed an im
portant role in the economy of the
child during the last '30 years. The
beneficial results following remov
al of tonsils in selected cases has
well justified the procedure.
It has been shown that markedly
hypertrophied tonsils and tonsils,
that are repeatedly inflamed, giv
ing rise to attacks of tonsilitis and
swollen neck glands, frequently im
pair normal physical development.
When such a condition exists after
four .years of age it is advisable
to have the tonsils removed, with,
the expectation that-at least 50 per
cent of children so treated will be.
materially improved, .
It is undeniable that the child,
population of the country has ex
perienced better physical develop
ment with fewer interruptions due
to mild and prolonged illnesses in.
the last 30 years. Infant mortality
has 'been reduced and fatal illness,
in the School age occurs less often.
While ths Wide-spread application
of public health procedures such as.
pasteurization of milk, the safe
guarding of Water supplies and care*
of foods,* and the health education
of the public has had the .most in
fluence in this direction, it must be*
admitted that eradication of un*.
healthy tonsils has played a non-*
siderable role in the physical im
provement of the race.
The single question to be de
termined in respect to the tonsils of/
a child is: Ate these tonslis dis*
eased? If go, they shoutd be-
promptly fremoved*
