At the Chicago meeting of the American Medical Association last June, Dr. Alice G. Bryant, of Boston, read a paper1 describing a series of cases in which the infection fastened on the so-called adenoid tissue found in the pharynx, and in which there were marked symptoms of infection, with temperature ranging from the neighborhood of 100 to 104 F., and at times a free discharge from the nose of a creamy consistency, masses of adenoid tissue sometimes being found in this discharge. Bacteriologic examination of the discharge in the cases reported by Dr. Bryant showed streptococci in abundance.
