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*
