a necesity. According to Dr. McK.cn
zie, professor : of ! laryngology ,4nd
rhiriology in. John Hopkins university
many of the operations perfonr.ed for
tonsilitis are unnecessary. They are,
he says, part of the general craze 'o
remove supposedly superfluous parts
of the human anatomy.
"Never in the history of medicine,"
he writes, "has the lust for operation
on the tonsils been as passionate as
it is at the present time. It is not
simply the surgical thirst from which
we have all suffered in our earlier
days, just as at a still earlier period,
we suffered from the measles; it is a

has infected not only the general pro
fession but the laity." .
The article is too technical for the
average reader, but the gist of the
opinion of this authority is that the
tonsils are not the trap for infection
which they so often are said to be.
He irives it as his view that the en
larged tonsil is not necessarily dis
eased and where it does ntt interfere
with breathing and swallowirtg should
not be removed". ' The doctor, 'too, is
not the only well known1 specialist
who holds somewhat similar views.
The craze for surgery in this coun
try is one of the symptoms of the a!
most universal desire to have the body
tinkered with in some way. The doc
tors are by no means entirely respon
sible for the tendency. Many ; con
servative surgeons today are advising
against operations except in cases
where the need is absoltuely appar
ent to their skilled eyes, but often in
such cases foolish parents insist that
the knife be used. The cutting out
of tonsils is but one instance of what
almost has come to be a habit among
the American people.' It is time that
good sense is used or soon everybody
in the land will be mutilated, i
