A Appendicitis.

Appendicitis" said DIR. Able In an
address before the New York Academy
Of Medicine, mas few rivals in the sur
gical field and takes rank today with
typhoid, pneumonia and rheumatism In
medical thought. Surely when the &C
tive surgeon Of today can number 100
operations for diseased appendices
yearly-and there are a dozen such men
in New York and in other cities In the
same proportion-we begin to grasp the
Importance of the subject and its men,
ace to the community.
THE public continues to ask the ply
stefan what was appendicitis formerly,
and he answers, Probably 1t passed
under the description Of inflammation
of the bowels" or '.peritonitis." 1t is
true that less than a generation ago
numberless people in the course of
summer travel were stricken with so
called Inflammation OF the bowels or
peritonitis and died.
Now we hear of no one so reported,
but 1t is said, He had an attack of APP
pendicitis, was beyond the reach of a
surgeon and died. or, 'So-and-so had an
attack of appendicitis, was operated
upon and recovered Hospital statis-
tics show the same changes of tabulat-
ed diseases. 1t is merely a new name,
not new disease"

How Blaine Remembered Henderson.
1t was before General Henderson had
been elected to congress, and Blaine
was speaker of the house. Henderson
was in Washington, and naturally
Blaine was one of the statesmen that
he much desired to meet, and the OPP
portunity came Of a morning just rs
the speaker was passing through the
lobby on his way to the marble ros-
trum. The formal greetings were ex-
changed in q brief moment, and Gener-
al Henderson was left to see the swing
ing doors close on the form of the Re
publican leader. .
Six years later General Henderson
again came to Washington, this time to
get Iowa divided into two judicial dis
tricts. He put up at Wormley's, where
Blaine also lived, it being In those days
fashionable and fiourishing hosiery.
A week or 80 after his arrival from
Iowa, as General Henderson was en-
tering the dining room, he met Blaine
after having passed and repassed him
many times. The Maine man grasped
him cordially by the hand, called him
by name and inquired about Iowa
