KITAGAWA treated 50 cases, 78 eare, of sten-osis of auditory tube by means of radium and/or roentgen-ray irradiations. Out of 78 eares catarrhal affections numbered 70. Patient's ages ranged from 5 to 67.

The results of the therapy were observed with audiometric readings; inspections of the tubal ope-nings were made through nasopharyngoscope. The author comes to the following conclusions:

(1) Irradiation therapy for tubal stenosis proved to be effective in 46 per cent of adult cases while in children, it was still higher, by 84 per cent.

(2) with radium irradiation children and adults alike showed improvements in 66 per cent of cases; roent gen-aays, 65 per cent. There were practically no difference between the two.

(3) That to make proper diagnosis or prognosis of tubal catarrhal inflammation naso-phaTyngoscope proved to be an indispensable armamentarium.

(4) That in tubal stenosis where tubal tonsils are found concurremly hypertrophied with palato-phar-yngeal tonsils, eithet adenotomy alone or the com-bined adenotonsillectomy should be performed before instituting irradiation therapy.
