Appendicitis Epidemic.

Dr. Lucas Champopniere, of lParis,
is one of the worlds most eminent
physicians He has recently written
an article on appendicitis. /" which
is attracting attention 10 Europe and
America His several propositions
are that appendicitis is really new
disease that it Is a sort of epidem,
ic (; that more frequently than notlit
is merely locsliziug of grip and that
its prime causes are improper purga-
tion of the digestive organs and the
excessive consumption of freshly
slaughtered meat
From extensive research he draws
the conclusion that while appendicitis
is no: actually new disease-for the
appendix always existed and has
always been susceptible to divers
alteratlons-it is so increased in
frequency and virulence, that as far
as tue pbysiciaa goes he is forced to
accept the proposition that re ls
dealing with problem that lever or
rarely troubled his predecessors, and
that. since he must begin at the
beginning, discover causes and in
vent new forms of treatment, be is to
all in,ents and purposes combating 9
pew foe to human health aud life.
Influenza aud meat eating are. be
thinks. the main producing causes OF
this disease He says
"In the old days the farmer and
the artisan, living peaceful. natural
lives, could sustain strength on fruit
and vegetables, with meat relative

meat when their diet should be
purely tactical and have even heard
men beast that they never, uuder any
circumstances, ATE VeSetao'es, 'oii
or nread I"
As there are great many meat
eaters who do not have appendicitis,
this is doubtful statement, but the
doctor declares that be has never
seen or heard of vegetarian attack
