DRUGGISTS READ ANYTHING.

They were standing on the corner Of
Seventh and Vine streets not many nights
ago. One of them had just received a
telegram, and he was making a great
effort to read it. He tried it for several
minutes and then handed it to his friend
with an air of disgust. The second indi-
vidual gave it up after struggling with it
a quarter of an hour. II never saw any
thing to beat that" he remarked, as he
handed the message back, land I've seen
some pretty bad writingin my time, too"
"Well, l can't read it; and I'd like to
know what it says, badly" LET me
see. All! l have it. Drug clerkscan read
most any kind ofwriting. Let us go and
see." They went to the nearest pharma-
cy and handed the message to the pre-
scription clerk. Before an explanation
could be made he darted to the real of
the shop and disappeared behind a screen.
After an absence of fifteen minutes, during
which time both of the men grew very
restless, the clerk appeared, and, as he
handed a bottle to one of the men, he
said; Sixty cents, please" Rather
stunned for awhile, the man opened the
package, and read on the label-"One
teaspoonfult to be taken three times every
hour" When an explanation was made
the clerk set up the soda water Evans

Inflammation. Sudden colds and wet
feet have brought on attacks of the
disease.
Within the last year or more de-
cided progress has been made in the
diagnosis and treatment of the dis
ease There are three principal symp-
toms which are said to be infallible:
First-The sudden onset of acute alb
dominal pain in any one previously
we'll second-The rightly ofthe right
side Of the lower abdominal walls,
and, third-tenderness Of the site OF
the appendix. The disease is often
COMPOUNDED with typhoid fever, and
precious time is lost before the error
is discovered. Many fatal cases of
appendicitis have no doubt been re-
corded as %peritonitis, inflammation
and obstruction of the bowels.
Whether or not the surgeons knife
or the physicians potion is the proper
method of treatment depends upon
which standpoint the argument is
made. Cures are effected both ways,
and the physician often resorts to
surgery when he believes the cast de-
mands it. The surgeon always be-
lieves that it is slwaysbe best to remove
the appendix, and in the paper read
by DR.. Denver it is stated that in the
statistics Of 200 cases where the OPP.
Grafton was performed between the
attacks there were but two deaths,
and they occurred in the first hun
dred. AS to the proper time for oper-
ating, he believes with Macbeth, that
"If 'twere done when it's done, then
'twere we'll it were done quickly"
and an operation should be performed
as soon as the disease is diagnosed.
Also, II an acute or o case is
apparently cured the appendix should
be removed before the occurrence OF
another attack.
The physician demurs to this opera
ton upon a well mai who may never
have another attack. 1t is believed,
too, by many physicians, that a large
majority of patients with appended
tbs will, if properly treated, get well
without an operation.
A record of cases shows that the
disease is most common between the
ages of ten and thirty years. Phila-

Jane came back with a pale, hard
face. All the boots seemed to be still
in her bag, AT which my wife heaved
a premature sigh of relief.

ma'am," she said presently, in a
purely conversational style, sitting
in our little kitchen, and scrubbing
the potatoes land such a lovely day
for them. 1t was all extremely re-

a coat like a clergyman, and a lovely
chrysanthemum. And there was red
carpet down, just like forgentlefolks.
1t was a real kerridge they had-not

there was rice throwing, and her
two little sisters dropping dead flow

to try again. All the little boys

The potatoes ere more than fin

and raped the basin down on the
table.

care a rap. He will find out his mis-
take yet. 1t serves me right. l was

got herself as to let Jane sob out
some of the f~ullness of her heart on q
sympathetic shoulder. My Mariana

grasped the Importance of keeping
up her position"
Since that fit of weeping much o
the accent of the bitterness has gone
out of James scrubbing-brush work
Indeed, something passed the othel
day with the butcher boy, but tina
scarcely belongs to this story.
However, Jane is Young still, ant

APPENDICITIS.

A paper was read last week before
the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons by DR.. John B. Denver on the
subject of appendicitis, to which he
has devoted much study and upon
which he had before read several
papers.
1t is now over twenty years since
the Ledger published a notice of a
death by supposed violence, which
was investigated by the corone and
found to be caused by what is now
known as appendicitis. Atthat time
the coroner's physician stated that
such cases were rarely met with, but
within the last three or four years
there have been so many in this city
that the disease bids fair to rival
nervous prostration"in the number
of victims.
1t is now more than sixty years
since the disease was first described
by Albers of Bonn, under the name of
typhlitls. 1t has not been generally
understood, however, until within
the last twenty years, and even now
there is great diversity of opinion as
to what constitutes a correct dag
nosis of the disease. There is also
considerable difference of opinion as
to whether the disease should be
treated medically or surgically, or
when the surgeon should perform the
operation.
The vermiform appendix Tor ap-
pendage, as it was formerly called) is
a narrow tube attached to the inner
and posterior wall of the cacum. 1t
has no particular Office and is to be
found only in man and some of the
higher species of apes. Its length
varies from one to nine inches, with
an average Of four inches, and is
about the size of a goose quill. 1t is
hollow, and has an opening into the
cecum, which is guarded by a valve.
The disease is an Inflammation of
this appendix, which produces alb
scesses, the pus from which sets up
an Inflammation in the surrounding
tissues.
The great majority of the acute
cases are caused by foreign bodies
getting into the appendix and having
no way to get out, ferment and set
up an Inflammation. These are often
the seeds Of small fruits, or pins and
buttons swallowed by children. 1t
is often caused by catarrhal iniam-
nation or an inflammation of the
mucous membrane, and to this cause
is attributed the very large number
of cases noted within the last three
or four years since the advent of the
grip. All cases begin as catarrhal

Selected Story.
THE LAST PARADE.

They were days to be remembered,
When at the sound Of trumpet call,
Young recruits we left the village,
Bent on glory one and all.
And the music round us flashing
Made us feel that evermore
our lives were worth the living
AS they never were before.
! remember the day
When we all rode away,
TO the dreams that the music made,
And our hopes one and all,
When the old trumpet-call
Rang out clear for our first parade.
II was glorious while 1t lasted.
But the wears went by too soon
Youth should stay a little longer
When a lads a bold dragon.
Then, like shadows from us drifting,
Comrades fell in foreign land.
Home again! the roll call found us
But a broken little band.
AS we rode down the street
TO the old measured beat,
IT was tears that the music made,
And il seemed like a prayer
For the lads who would ne'er
Stand again by our sid on parade!
But the marching days are over.
Veteransl now at ease we stand,
Till the order comes for marching
TO the last and restful land.
Only when the troops are passing,
our ninety years we all forget,
And the old familiar music
Makes us feel we're soldiers yet.
And we're young once again
AS we bark to the strain,
Till the sounds in the distance fade.
SO we wait one and all
For the last trumpet call
That shall sound for the last parade.

In a Vermont granite-quarrying town
many Italians are employed, and are
much liked by the Vermonters who boss"
them. Last year one of the Italians, af-
ter trying in vain to eat some of the beef
furnished by the corporation, gave up in
comical despair, and began to wrap it in
a scrap of tinsel paper that he drew out
of his pocket. What are you doing
there? ?" asked the foreman from the head
of the table. "Isenna heem to de Worlds
Fair" answered the Italian, indicating
the beef. "What for?" Because l be
