Summary "Adenoids: What They Are, How to Recognize Them, What to Do for Them" is a scientific publication produced by the United States Public Health Service in 1919. This informative booklet is part of the "Keep Well Series" and aims to educate parents about adenoids—abnormal growths of lymphatic tissue in the throat—that can hinder proper breathing in children. Given its healthcare focus, the book is likely written for a contemporary audience concerned with children's health and wellbeing during the early 20th century. The book explains the significance of adenoids, how to identify their presence, and the consequences of neglecting their treatment. It discusses the physical and health-related issues that arise from enlarged adenoids, including mouth breathing, facial malformation, and various health problems such as chronic infections and hearing difficulties. The publication strongly advocates for the surgical removal of adenoids when necessary, highlighting that timely intervention can lead to immediate relief and improved overall health for children. Through detailed explanations and illustrations, the book serves as a guide for parents to understand the importance of addressing this common pediatric issue.
