CHILDREN'S TONSILS.
May I call attention to a weighty article in your Saturday issue in which professors or health and hygiene warned lis against the craze for operations? But there was one point that the report passed over, parents should be told: How it was that fifty years ago there was no excuse for so mutua - ing children. The reason is that we do not nowadays dress them as warmly as our grandmothers used to do. Our boys are taught to take a pride in exposing their whole bodies to the oold air o£ winter, and their mothers and sisters set them an example. Even tne Government doctors go round lecturing ® n these lines, for which there is no analogy Nature. In one case the "unnecessary ana unhealthy" clothes were actually removed sent home in a parcel —and that cm developed consumption. I would very mue like to dress boys' fathers as their soils are dressed and sit them in a nicely-ventilatea schoolroom for hours together.
