APPENDICITIS CAUSED BY SIT
TING CROSS-LEGGED.
Monroe Journal.)

Another eminent physician has come
10 the front. He says that appendicitis,
the dreaded disease that so often oe-
ours now, is produced by the habit men
have of sitting cross-legged. This, he
saws. restricts the action of the digestive
apparatus, and especially the lower
intestine, causing stagnation and the
stretching of the opening of the appen-
dix. As proof he cites the fact that
women seldom have the disease.

head downward and out of the chute.
but her struggles we're so sudden and
SO fierce that her neck was broken be-
fore any relief could be offered. She
was one Of the finest bred animals in
the state, and it was this that attracted
