BE_MOVING TONSllZS BY X-BAY TREATMENT

Physicians and surgeons are agreed that the most satisfactory method of removing infected or enlarged tonsils is by surgery. Under a local or general anaesthe- tic there is no disturbance by the patient and the surgeon is usually able to lift out the tonsils from its bed as-he would remove the ker- nel fronn a nut.

However there are cases where the patient, the parents and the family physician do not wish the tonsils removed by surgery and other methods mustbemused. I have spoken before of tIils “electric? or eleotrocoagulation of the tonsils which. while it may require many visits to the physician's office, is a safe and antiseptic method of_re- moving tonsils.

The objection to this method is that sometimes scar tissue, formed by this method. may partly cover up e piece of the infected tonsil and if this has to be removed the surgeon has considerable difficulty in renwving the scar tissue.

If surgery is not used, Drr. E. M. Uhlnlanxl, P. Roseniblum, and S. J. Perlman. in "Archives of Pedia- trics" report that X-ray treatments can be successfully used in remov- al of tonsils and sdenoids. During

Perllapsit was because of her recent letter to the folks at Alder- lea. bearing nAWlJiLJhe babe. and her new home that Judy's face came to mind as keeping an ear to the out of door affairs we clear- ed the breakfast table. Whenever work became too insistent for com- fort "Let's leave it awhile, Mrs. Ellen" Judy was wont to say "and for inspiration. let's have a little music!" And so leaving all else. we came to the piano in the room. Perhaps too it was because a hymnai chanced to.be open at that N“. or maybe unconsciously we had o it there, in any
