JAZZ THROAT
DINERS-OUT AFFECTED SHOUTING LIKE DRILL SERGEANTS Those who dine habitually amid the noise of moaning saxophones and tha das)iing of cymbals are suffering from what a London throat specialist calls ‘‘jazz, throai” It is caused through attempting to carry on bright and lively conversation through the indescribable din of modern dance music. "In order to do this,” said the throat specialist, “diners are obliged to 6houf like drill sergeants on parade, and thf result is a crop of 6ore and strained, throats. "A woman patient who came to me recently was so hoarse that she could scarcely speak, and, after examining her iarnx. I said : ‘Mv dear lady, T hope you have not been selling rag 6 and bones for a living?* “A complete rest of the vocal chords is the only real cure, and I can only suggest that diners-out should patronise some restaurant where there is no band, or converse with eeMi other in the deaf and dumb language.”
