THE APPENDICITIS FAD.
Popular Errors About Grape Seeds f
ploded by a Pr ointment Surgeon.

Popular Errors About Grape Seeds Ex-
ploded by Pr ointment Surgeon.
A prominent doctor, who has per-
formed score of successful opera
lions for the removal Of that trouble
some and inexplicable part of the
human anatomy, the vermiform ap-
?cnd.x. says that the general impress
son that appendicitis is caused by the
presence in the appendix of a cherry
stone or n currant seed. or seed of
any Kind. is entirely erroneous. Il
have not found a seed in the appendix
of Il single one of my cases" he sad
"A small bit Of digested matter gets
into the little sac, if the neck of it
is open far enough to receive it. 1t
may remain there for years and cause
10 trouble, and then again it may
bring on appendicitis almost immed!-
ately. Where the patient is in good
health. in tour cases out of five the
operation for removing the appendix
is successful. There is great diff
ference in the length of time taken by
surgeons to perform this or. in fact,
any delicate operation. There is one
surgeon in the city who has perform
ed the operation in eighteen minutes,
which included the time from the mo-
ment the patient was brought in on
rhe operating table. This is half the
time that it requires the majority of
SIX llful surgeons to do it. OF course,
speed is not everything.
''rhe appendicitis fad. as the craze
among rich people to have their vermi-
form appendices removed is called,
still cont nuPs undated. and there
are few surgeons of prominence now
who are not familiar with the per-
fornmnre Of the operation. A story
is told of a doctor who is constantly
ordering the removal of the vermiform
appendix for patients. He was called
20 see Il gentlman one evening who
had been rather seriously injured. The
gentleman. when he recognized the
doctor. said:
"Oh. it is you; then / must have ap-
ncndic:tis!
doctors who have allowed the ap-
Imndic It's fad to carry them away
have performed the operation upon a

appendices We're in good condition.

! am very glad to explode that story
about the grape seeds and other seeds
especially a@ the grape season is just
coming ON. People who have heard
about appendicitis have given up the
luxury of small fruit in fear of ap-
lHndicitS. and some of the extremely
sensitive ones have even been con-
$tantly worried lest some seed that
they had swallowed in the past might
give them this disease-which is
among the rarest of diseases, any
way."-New York World.

Capital and Confidence.

"Evcrybody who has money is tired
Of getting l per cent. or no per cent
for t. Every business man who has
been lying on his oars is crazy to do
something or engage in something he
understands. Every enterprise which
has been dormant is feeling its way
for capital and confidence. Labor is
everywhere eager for work, and en-
rloErrS still more eager to open Their
works. 1t only requires the normal
machinery of the country to move in
Il normal way. for consumption to
again make demands upon production.
When the history of this panic
comes to be written and the troubles
incident to it. one of its remarkable
features will be the effect upon rail
way traffic and upon all business Of
G1.ooo.m0 people. of those who had
10. and to those who had no need to
econ me-. but did so in every pos
$blr way. When one family uses the
old stove. with the cracked Eds. and
paStrS paper over the broken pane of
glass. and does not renew any of the
Turn ture or crockcry; when they wear
last years clothes and go from food
which might be luxuries to food which
simply support life. the economies are
demon Stratcd which follow total or
partial loss Of income. Precisely that
process has been going on for two
th'llS of Il year among 80 per cent. of
our population. 1t has made clear
the fac, that the American people
who are charged. and probably justly.
with the being the most eXtravagant
people in the world, can live as close
ly us anybody when it becomes ne
crS$ary. But the effect upon mer-
chants. m,ddlrmcn and carriers in he
volume of their business and their
profits is disastrous beyond any pro-
cess which has ever effected the bust
ness of the country. "-Chauncey NJ.

sgantic proportions. Through the Grim:
ainal carelessness and neglect Of the
