Georgia Health Board Describes Ter*
rible Results of Disease if Not
Properly Treated.
Atlanta, Ga. —If one of your chil
dren is backward in its studies or
sickly looking, get a physician to look
at its tonsils at once, is the advice
given by the Georgia State Board of
Health. The whole trouble may be
there. A chronic or acute disease of
the tonsils is a serious and dangerous
thing.
The enlarged tonsils may permanent
ly stunt the child's physical growth
and retard its mental development.
The State Board of Health urges pa
rents whose children are so suffering,
to have them examined and operated
on, if necessary, by a skilled physi
cian or surgeon. Operations in near
ly all cases result in complete cures,
while failure to operate may leave an
otherwise normal child stupid ahd
sickly through life.
Many a boy or girl has been put
down as lazy and "good-for-nothing,”
and has been unjustly punished at
home and at school, when the real
trouble was nothing but enlarged ton
sils.
Other children suffering in the same
way have sometimes been considered
half-witted because of the open-hang
ing mouth and silly expression, which
often results from the obstructed pass
ages in the throat and nose —their
whole life marred for the lack of a
comparatively simple operation. The
parent who fails to inquire into such
symptoms and to have the child prop
erly treated, is guilty of neglect that
is almost criminal.
Is a Contagious Disease.
The second most important thing
for the public to realize about tonsili
tis, says the Board, is the fact that
acute tonsilitis is contagious, and that
patients suffering from it should be
isolated and some precautions taken
to prevent its spread, as are done in
case of other contagious diseases. One
case of acute tonsilitis may not justi
fy an operation. It is in chronic cases
or in cases where the acute form re
curs frequently, that operations are
abo)utely necessary.
In addition to the acute and chronic,
there is also u third common form of
the disease, called suppurative tonsir
litis or quinsy.
_ Acute tonsilitis frequently comes on
rather suddenly. Children and young
adults are most susceptible. The pa
ttern first complain of sore throat
with a failing of sweHing jn the throat,
or ;uay first* feel* chTITy or even have
a decided chill, soon followed by ach
inj Jjig a, }d back and violent
headache. These symptoms may be so
severe that the patient may feel like
he is going to have a very serious ill
-IR>SS. The temperature rapidly rises
and may reach 103 degrees to 105 de
grees within a very few hours. The
odor of the patient's breath is very
foul, and unless the room is well ven
tilated the odor may fill the room. An
examination of the throat shows the
tonsils and neighboring tissues to be
swollen and congested. The tonsils
may be so greatly swollen as to touch
each other, and they may be covered
by a grayish substance that may re
semble the membrane which is pres
ent In cases of diphtheria. The glands
in the neck usually become swollen
and painful, and the neck muscles feel
sore and stiff.
Symptoms of Quinsy.
In suppurative tonsilitis, or quinsy,
the local symptoms in the throat cause
the greatest amount of distress, al
though the general symptoms named
above may also be present. In quinsy,
pus forms in and around the tonsil.
Usually only one tonsil is affected. It
may become greatly swollen and seri
ously interfere with the patient’s
breathing and his ability to swallow.
The patient opens his mouth with con
siderable difficulty as every movement
of the jaw causes great pain. In quin
sy the tonsil is seldom covered by the
membrane as in the follicular form
or as in diphtheria. Instead the tonsil
1s usually smooth and shining in ap
pearance.
In acute tonsilitis and in quinsy a
bacteriological examination should be
made of the throat and the patient
kept in isolation, until it is determin
ed whether or not the inflammation is
caused by the germ of diphtheria. The
State Board of Health’s laboratories
will make these examinations free of
charge upon request.
In the chronic! form of tonsilitis,
there is no danger of spreading the
disease, but it is this form which per
manently injures the health and mind
of the patient. Children are the most
frequent sufferers. The tonsils some
times become so large that they touch
each other; there is usually nasal ca
tarrh, sometimes earache and deaf
ness; the child usually breathes with
its mcuth open. This not only gives
the child a silly expression, but is
harmful because air taken through the
mouth instead of the nose is not prop
erly sifted of dust and germs. The

the unfortunate child. As the result
of the difficulty in breathing, the
child's growth is stunted and the chest
often becomes deformed. Such un

They are especially liable to tubercu

No Escape.
A southern congressman re
lates how whe)n he was once mak
ing campaign tou r through the
interior of Mississippi, he came
upon a negro cabin, across *he
threshold of which lay a darkey
ajnd a picaninny of perhaps eight,
years of age.
The child was voraciously de
vouring a plate heaped high! with
chicken, vegetables, corn bread
and other bits of food in a man
ner, it was plainly to be seen.
that commanded the elder negro's
hearty admiration.
“Is that your child?” asked
the congressman.
“Yes, boss; lie’s shorely mine,
answered the father with a broad
grin. ; )
“He’s got a pretty fair appe
tite” remarked the eongress(man
after a moment’s silence, dur
ing which the picaninny finished
tlie plate and produced a huge
section of pie.
“Purty fair, boss; purty fair,”
said the father. “Jes’ look at
him goin’ after dat pie.” Then
after a further period of silence,
the proud parent added:
“Boss, it .ain’t, no use a-talkin, ’
dat cliil’s got a pow’hful influ
ence over food. Once he gits
his upper lip ovali a piece o’ pie
it’s his pie, boss; it’s his pie.—
