Our knowledge has spread and broadened from this starting-point, until we now know that adenoids are the chief, yes, almost the sole primary cause, not merely of mouth-breathing, but of at least two-thirds of the injurious effects which have been attributed to this habit. Mouth-breathing is not simply a bad habit, a careless trick on the part of the child.
"Have you ever been examined for adenoids, Eleanor?" she asked suddenly. "No, ma'am." "Say, 'no, Aunt Beulah. Don't say, 'no, ma'am' and 'yes, ma'am. People don't say 'no, ma'am' and 'yes, ma'am' any more, you know. They say 'no' and 'yes, and then mention the name of the person to whom they are speaking." "Yes, ma'am," Eleanor couldn't stop herself saying it. She wanted to correct herself.
The examination of any public school quickly leads to the discovery that much which is taken for impaired mental activity, for lack of attention, for stupidity, or laziness may be the result of defective hearing or sight or abnormal growth of the adenoids.
"I was right," thought Roger complacently. He laid in a stock of fine cigars and some good port and claret, too; and on evenings when Baird came to dine, Roger by a genial glow and occasional jocular ironies would endeavor to drag the talk away from clinics, adenoids, children's teeth, epidemics and the new education.
Unfortunately, however, many people have an erroneous idea that children will "grow out of adenoids." Even if this were true it is extremely unwise to wait for so desirable an event. Adenoids may continue to grow, and during the years that they are present they work great mischief.
She had been afflicted doubtless with adenoids in her own childhood, but at that time they were not generally considered removable. At all events, she now confused her M's and B's intermittently, as she always had done, and never troubled herself about it, being an easy-going person.
"Why," he exclaimed to his assistant, "that must be Appleby, the pedestrian fellow you read so much about the Indianapolis paper said just this morning that he was some place in this part of the country you know, the fellow who's tramped all over Europe and Asia with his wife, and is bound for San Francisco now." His one lone clerk, a youth with adenoids, gaped and grunted.
Gretchen Lieberwurst zu Schweinen-Kalber made of Juliet a woman a pulsating, human woman, with failings like the rest of us, the chief of which happened to be adenoids. To trace this soul-stirring actress to her obscure birth has indeed been a labour but withal, a labour of love!
The changes in the emotions, for instance, may lead to the recognition of a heart disease; lack of attention may be a hint of the overgrowth of the adenoids; irritability or apathy or delirious character of the mental behavior may indicate whether uræmic acid is in the system or an infectious disease: anæmia and undernutrition may be diagnosed and the psychology of fever demands too a much closer analysis with the means of the psychological laboratory than it has received so far.
Here they are forced to sleep with their windows open, to bathe, eat good food, instead of mortifying the body for the sake of filling the family stocking; and they are doctored intelligently, their teeth filled, their tonsils and adenoids taken out, their chronic indigestion cured. Those who survive the war will never forget the lesson and will do missionary work when they are at home once more.
