PLACEBO Toinsills TONSILS are inherited and not acquired. This distinguishes them from adenoids, which are grown on the premises. Tonsils were not discovered until an operation for appendicitis became too com- mon to confer social distinction. When they were discovered, statis- tics were produced to show that these glands, quietly reposing inside the face with the complete approval of mankind, were the direct cause of rickets, blind stagger, poverty, gall stones and general cus- sedness. Having them out at once became a social duty of some magnitude, for technique of surgeons was imperfect and few carvers knew whether to use a screw driver or pliers. It made little differ- ence anyway, for the patient was sound asleep and little interested in carpentry. The modern age affords the owner of tonsils much more entertainment. He is placed in a chair, his jaws are pried apart and a portion of rubber-boot inserted to hold them ajar and discourage conversation on the part of the patient. Then the surgeon fills both hands with hardware, begins to whistle his favorite tune, and crawls inside. While he is pruning all of your property that fails to meet with his approval, numerous white clad assistants stand about wearing the cheerful look peculiar to people who are watching another man's house burn. i f Grammar and Miediicine Ac.-xrH1As .Al tlzriving daetor sent his san fa school, To gain some lenowledge, should hc prone no fool, But tools him soon away with little warning, On finding out the lesson he was learning.

PLACED!! 5 HANDS D. R. HWWARD, R.N, I think you are while temples turned By seulptor's moulding tool, To hold within deep fountains lr'arnerl, With 'vigor flowing eool. Your fingers fend like eestals fair, Dejt 'oirgiizs in their tnuehg Guarding fliekering pres where Life's flame lies trampled nzueh. Intimate with Birth and Death, You've surely held the veil That separates by sheerest breath, The immortal from our pale. .Yo wonder then, that hands are 'tina' White temples of the Soulg O may you hola' for life, new wine, With a finger toward the goal. 'ffCwOplen'autifon Help one another, the day nurse said, As she rushed along to a patient's bed. There's work enough for one and all, United we stand, divided we fall, There's joy in helping your fellow rnan, So help one another all you eanf, Af' 'Al-Ielp one another, said the nurse that night, To her fellow nurse when she got in a tight If I tried to do all this work alone, l'd be tired out before the night's half gone.
