they be allowed to close up certain
streets and open up new ones, which
would be of more advantage. and it
was their purpose to do the work free
from all aid from the city, pave the
streets and keep them in repair. The
mayor said that no action would be

nearly completed and asked that he be
allowed three hundred dollars to have

the city with the original and fifty

very elaborate affair, but Alder

Appendicitis
Its Nature And Cure.-The
Operation Not Dangerous
If Done In Time.
With An FL QaSO SURGEON.

| There has been SO much talk of ap-
pendicitis in Ell Paso lately and sc
many successful rs we'll as q few un.
successful operations have been per-
formed to relieve those suffering from
the disease, that the HERALD conclud-
ed that talk with the leading sur
geon of the city-the one who has per-
formed number of successful opera
tions here curing the past year-would
probably make interesting reading for
| the masses.
| The surgeon in question was found
in his Office early til is morning and ask.
ed to throw q little light on the disease
which has puzzled medical science un-
| til recent years. He said:
"According to statistics gathered in
all parts of the United States there are
than any city in the country. You
probably hear of more operations being
performed here, but the majority OF
those operated upon come from the sur.
rounding country and are not residents
of this city.
THE fact Ia there have not been
more than 20 residents of Ell Paso
operated upon at the Sisters hospital
during the past IL months, which
gives percentage of about one case
to every 1000 of the population of this
| is one case to every Two or three hun
| dred of population in other cities.
THE disease, SO much dreaded by
the ordinary person, is not caused by
grape seed, as it was SO long believed
by the medical profession, but it is due
simply to the Inflammation of the YER
inform appendix. Fetid matter, how
ever. often forms in the canal and
sOlidifes, and At first this substance
was believed to be a seed.
"Ordinarily, with modern antiseptic
surgery, the operation is not q danger
GUS one and the percentage of deaths is
very small. Formerly it was very
dangerous to make any kind of cut
into the abdomen, and about so per
cent of the persons receiving such
wounds died, but with modern surgery
almost all danger is eliminated.
Taking it for granted that you are
appendix cut out without the slightest
danger if a modern surgeon did the
work.
"Ths danger in operations for ap-
pendicitis lies in the condition of the
patient. Where there is no inflamma-
ton of the appendix al there is lit
tie or no danger. There are several
different forms of appendicitis and the
danger from the operation lies in the
severity of the attack.
''Peritonitis, which results from ap-
pendicitis, is far more dangerous and
it is seldom that patient recovers
After the first attack of appendicitis
chances of not having another are
favorable, but after two attacks the pa
tient is sure to have more.
THE appendix canal is remnant of
evolution and belongs to the lower an
imals. There is no use for it in the
system ex' ept to combat the germs,
which seem to concentrate at that
point. 1t is blind tube ending alb
ruptly and secretes white blood cells
which are believed to be necessary to
kill germs.''
