EFFECTS OF REMOVAL OF PHYSICAL ORGAN 191proved by the fact that the voice changes at the time of
puberty; and in many other ways. When the period of
adolescence is past it will be found that these organs
will return to their normal condition and will give no
further trouble.
In acute conditions we have always recommended
the citrus fruits as the finest antiseptics known. This
applies also and particularly to pineapple. Lemonade
made of lemons andhoney will be found to give great
relief in this condition. Oranges, grapefruit, and
pineapple should also be used freely when the child
complains of throat trouble. A cold compress on the
throat at night when the child goes to bed,
supplemented by massage of the throat, will be found
an effective treatment in all throat troubles. It goes
without saying that the bowels should be kept open
and clear. By the use of these simple treatments the
trouble will probably be over in a few days, perhaps
even without the necessity of putting the child to bed.
Do not be afraid if white matter is expectorated during
the process of this treatment. That is just what the
child needs to get rid of in order to be well.
