' 'ohn Spuhler, A net. i i WHO iS TO BLAME? 1 -—1 Some time ago a little boy of twelve I years of age was taken by hie father i to consult a great specialist in Chi- < cago in regard to his hearing. The ' father, a well-to-do hard-working farm- 1 ' er, noted for his raising of fine horses i 'cattle and hogs, had been advised by I ' the home physician to take the boy to 1 this great man as the laat resort. 1 The great specialist admitted thol wealthy farmer and Ms little son into i his private room. He spoke kindly to | <

the boy, and asked him some informal 1 question, but the little boy only looked —he did not hear. Before he began the careful examina- • tion of the ears the great specialist looked the boy over carefully. He noted the boy’s slight frame, his small muscles and pale face; his dull eyes, his open mouth and projecting upper , jaw. The boy was a reproduction, to the great specialist, of a picture he had seen time and time again, and he could have easily diagnosed the trouble without any further examina j tion. But this great man who never | guessed, nor took anything for grantt ed, began and made a careful, searchi ing examination of the little boy’s ’ears. He left nothing undone that I would give any light to a full under-! . standing of the pathological condition ’ I present. After using all available means of diagnosis and understanding j ’ the case fully, he turned to the father ■ and said: "This boy’s hearing is very poor and the ears are in a very bad ■ condition. The right ear is practically !: deaf, while the left is not one-third 1 i normal. The disease has gone on so : 1 long, with treatment neglected, that i the results will not be as good as we 1 would like. Os course you will want 1 to know the cause of this deafness. ' 1 Look here in this boy’s throat. See 1 those enormously enlarged tonsils, 1 with their little crypts full of cheesy-! 1 like matter, aud the general inflamed ’ condition. | * But the worst is here —up behind the ' palate. You see this space which ’ should be free and open to breathe £ through, is full of little growths call- * ed adenoids. They obstruct the space 1 so he has to breathe through his * mouth. Now notice what a catarrhal ( c condition exists. Now you can begin T to see how his deafness is caused. ' From the hack of the throat two little ' tubes run, one to each ear. These . tubes serve to drain the middle ear j and also allow the air to travel up I there so as to keep the air pressure 1 on each side of the ear drawn equal. 1 Now these adenoids aud enlarged ton-. s sils caused thia catarrh in the nose and throat. It extended to the little tubes and they swelled shut, thus making the middle ear a closed cavity. As the air in this cavity is absorbed, the vacuum thus formed causes the serum to fill the space. This with the pressure of micro-organ-isms, causes on abscess and as you say it "gathered and broke." Now this has happened time after time in your I little boy’s ears and ruined them, — hence his deafness. The father, being a man who grasps things easily, fully understood the* condition as explained, and he anxious-1

ly asked what could be done. The great specialist continues: “If | you had taken this boy to me or any other good man when he tirsh snowed signs of hard hearing, when perhaps you scolded him for not listening, then he could have been cured completely by taking out the adenoids and tonsils. Os course we will take them out now, but our results will not be nearly so good because the damage is already too great. But even if we can only increase his hearing a little, it is all j that can be done now, but we can j make a strong man out of him so that I he will breathe through his nose, his ; cataj'rh will leave, he will take on | flesh an muscle, and create good, red i blood. Three months after the operation ! the boy has changed from a sickly, pale I faced, open-mouthed boy into a strong, j j robust child, with bright eyes and a i strong arm—but alas, his hearing, i while much improved, is still very poor > and he misses much of the world's | ! music and happiness. He hears no ' sermons, lectures or pretty songs. His 1 circle in the world is small, for he i stays at home and works daily on the - fine farm, but around him he hears ! not the sweet voices of Nature, such I < as the neighing of the horses, the j sweet lowing of the cattle, and the 4 songs of the birds. Around him his 1 brothers, sisters and playmates are iiv- I ing in a land of music while he trudges I through a semi-silent world. Is not this a sad but true story? Is j it not almost criminal that this boy I should have been allowed to grow deaf? On whose shoulders should the blame be placed? Surely, not the boy’s. How many more fathers are devoting their time and attention to raising fine cattle and perfect stock, while their children are growing up without attention and developing all kinds of physical defects, R.
