Dickson, , | i PORTLAND, OREGON In preparing a paper on adenoid growth—a subject withwhich, no doubt, you are already quite familiar—I do so for thepurpose of calling attention to one complication or result of thisdisease, to which I fear the notice of the profession in general hasnot been strongly enough directed.
