THE HUMAN EYE.
1t Is the Seat of More Than Forty Seri-
Gus Ailments.

1t Is the Seat of More Than Forty Seri-
Gus Ailments.
No organ of the human body is liable
to a greater variety of ailments than
the eye. More than forty such diseases
are enumerated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness,
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age. Some are due to other diseases;
some originate with the eye itself;
some are the result of external wounds.
Some are brought on by the improper
use of the eye; some by the abuse of
other organs. Some are partially or
wholly durable; others are not
AS we have two eyes, the loss of one
does not materially affect the sight.
The double provision is a wise and be-
nevolent one'in the case of an organ
exposed to so many accidents from
without and so many diseases from
within.
The value of the sight is never fully
appreciated until it is lost or impaired.
Few persons realize that the eye is an
intricate piece of mechanism, with a
vastly more complex and delicate ad-
justment than the costliest watch.
Even in our public schools the children
and youth are allowed to abuse it in a
most perilous way, the teachers seem
ing to be perfectly ignorant of probable
disastrous results.
To say nothing of the thousands of
hopelessly blind, let anyone go to the
many eye inirmaries of our land and
witness the streams of patients con-
stantly pouring through them, and to
the offices of our numerous oculists, and
see them, forenoon and afternoon, filed
with sufferers patiently waiting their
turn, and he will certainly come to feel
the urgent need on the part of the COM
munity in general of more intelligent
and conservative use of the eyes.
1t is disgrace to our educational in
stitutions that half of our students
bring away with them myopic-short-
sighted-eyes, and that, even in our
grammar schools, children who have
hardly reached their teens become life
long slaves to spectacles, formerly re-
and burden of old age. And it must be
remembered that short-sightedness is
not mere Inconvenience, but disor-
der that tends toward ultimate visual
disorganization.
Some of the graver troubles of the
eyes are liable to extend from one eve
to the other To prevent this, and thus
to save the Sirht it has lOnp been the
practice to take out-enacleate-th
diseased eye, and insert glass one in
its place. But artificial eyes often be-
come sources of irritation, and more re-

the other is believed to take place. OF

idea what brought on the disease ex-
cept that it is barely possible that the
appendix had wound itself around one of
the more useful intestines and had
caused a partial strangulation, which
resulted afterward in acute inf1amma-
tion. 1t is also possible that a grape
seed lodged in this useless part at that
time and caused the Inflammation, but
the operation performed by DR.. Bull
brought me no certain information on
that point. I have had fourteen attacks
of what might be called kind of acute
indigestion. These attacks lasted at
times an entire day, at times an entire
week, and on one occasion fully two
months. The suffering was of a most
uncomfortable kind. In fact, I believe
that another attack would have killed
me-. Every physician whom consulted
abroad told me that the thickness of
the abdominal wall would make an
operation almost certainly fatal. But
almost every one Of these men of
science advised me to go to America.
where there was more surgical daring
and where it was undoubted that the
physicians were better trained to per-
form surgical operations than those of
Europe.

months ago, accompanied by my wife,
and at once placed myself under the
care of DIR. William T. Bull, the con-
sulting surgeon of st. Lu1e's. was
operated on at once, the appendix was
entirely removed and I believe that I
am as well and strong to-day as ever
was in my thirty-seveu years of ex-
istence."
The most recent case was tn at of vice
Chancellor II. G. Pitney, of Morristown,
N. j., on whom DIR. Charles McBurney
operated. He is the physician who per-
formed similar operation upon Lyman
Gage, the Chicago banker.
Physicians tell of two cases in the
care of DR.. Lange, Of Lexington ave-
uue, in which the danger was about as
great, but in both the operations were
Bridgeton pioneer., 1892-03-03

successful. The operation performed
on Lyman Gage, the Chicago banker, by
DIR. McBurney, was not considered an
extremely dangerous one, as the ply
sique of the Chicago financier gave
easy access to the diseased part.
In the case of Chancellor Pitney, who
was performed upon late in JAN
uary, there was more difficulty and dam
ger. In this case the vcrniform appen-
dix had been turned completely about,
and had not the operation been per-
formed in the nick of time death from
strangulation would have taken place.
The thickness of the abdominal wall
which had to be cut through in this
case was over three inches. Drs. Bar
ker, Pierson, Owen and IIalsted assisted
in this operation.
DR.. Willy Meyer is another New York
surgeon who has within the last year
had several cases of appendicitis to deal
with, all of which were successful 1t
is said by physicians of known repute
that America has no greater surgeons
than the four named, Drs. Bull, McBur-
ncy, Langes and Meyer, and DR.. Senn,
of Milwaukee, whose fame is world
wide. DAVID WECHsLER.

known to swallow pins which found
resting place in that intestine,
causing inflammation and death.
Physicians have been unable to at
tribute any function to the appendix.
1t is found in man and few apes about
as pictured here, while in rodents it
has been known to develop to size ex-
ceeding that of the stomach of the ami
NAL. But in these cases it is always
known as a glandular organ and has a
definite function. In rodents also the
valve which separates the c@cum, one
Of the larger intestines, from the ap-
pendix is well developed and works
with the regularity of all vitals. In
man this valve is undeveloped and is
given the name merely because it has a
resemblance to such a part"
When it is diseased the only escape
for the patient from death is by the
operation which was performed on Capt
Rose.
The operation lasted little over two
hours, and the captain was kept under
ether all the time. Assisting DR.. Bull
in the operation were Drs. Francis A.
Kinnicutt, McBurney and all the other
consulting surgeons of st. Luke's hos
pital. When the first cut was made it
was found the knife would have to go
through a thickness of almost four
inches, and would possibly have to
pass under the c@cum, as the appendix
was found almost imbedded and bent
iato the large intestine. 1t was at this
juncture that one of the physicians in
attendance advised giving up the case
at once, as an incision into the larger
intestine would undoubtedly prove IA
tai With an undaunted courage the
young surgeon kept on. The jarring
of the knife the least fraction of an
inch to either side might give the fatal
cut. The diseased part was reached,

lCoPYRIGHT 1892.
Have you ever thought that you have
a vermiform appendix, and that if you
are not careful it will be the death Of
you? Almost every week it brings
some new victims to the surgeons
table. That is because we have lost
all our respect for this useless organ,
and the moment it begins to make
trouble we have it cut out. Formerly
men suffered and died without know
ing just what afflicted them. Now,
thanks to the nerve and skill of Ameri-
can surgeons, the vermiform appendix
rarely kills its possessor.
went to see DIR. Bull Immediately
after his successful operation upon
Capt. Rose, of the British army, a son
of the late Sir John Rose.
This man, Bull, is one of the greatest
surgeons living to-day, but he is still a
young man. He is handsome fellow,
tall and rather stout, with blue eyes
and heavy mustache. He doesn't like
to talk about himself or his work.

absolutely useless. Darwin claimed
that it's existence in the body was one
proof that we are the evoluted result of
ape development. On this point scien-
fists hesitate to agree with him. The
appendix varies in length from two to
six inches, and is about the diameter of
goose quill. 1t is hollow throughout
its entire length, and the unattached
extremely is blunt. 1t has been known
to adhere to the liver, and to complete
ly destroy the functional capacity Of
that part. In many cases it becomes
knotted about the intestines, causing
strangulation. 1t is this little hollow
tube of skin into which orange, date,
