16 The Health BtlIvEtin throat, and if tliey become too large, without heh\^ diseased, they may close these openiu.i:s and cause partial deafness. And if the tonsils and adenoids become diseased, the disease can easily go up to the eustachian tubes and produce disease in the ears. When trouble begins in the ear, usually, the first symptom we notice is earache. A doctor should be seen then. If an abscess is forming, the ear-drum should be cut to let the ear run. If the abscess is allowed to wait until the ear-drum bursts, a large, jagged hole is made in the drum, w^hich may leave a hole when it heals, with some deafness resulting. If the drum is cut, the opening is narrow and even, and it will heal again, when the abscess is well, with less damage to the ear, and usually with better hearing resulting than if the abscess is left to l>urst and drain itself. If the infection from the al)scess in the middle ear extends backwards into the mastoid process, the area just behind the ear, the condition becomes serious. From here it can easily spread to the brain, with death as a result. If the mastoid area l)ecomes tender whenever there is ear trouble, a doctor should be called immediately. If mastoiditis is developing, an operation may be necessary at once. Symp- toms for which one should see a doctor, then, are deafness, earache, discharge from the ear, and immediately upon the development of severe headache, wdth tenderness behind the ear. The nose extends from its front openings above the mouth backwards to the upper part of the throat. It is divided into two cavities by a septum, and from each outer wall three curved, scroll-like shelves of thin bone, the turbinates, extend across toward the septum, but not against it. The walls and the turbinates are covered by moist mucus membrane containing many hairs. This makes the nose an irregular, crooked canal, with a warm, moist surface for the air to pass over. All air going into the lungs should be clean and warm, and nature designed the nose to do this, and planned for all air to be taken in througli the nose. In the nose, also, are the special nerves of smell. If there is some condition in the nose which prevents the air from passing through it, and it must come in through the mouth, bad effects may naturally be expected from the condition. Exclusive of bad colds, during which time there is usually more or less temporary obstruction to breathing through the nose, the common causes of nasal obstruction are ade-
