APPENDICITIS, the Malady Of the Day, Due to Meat Eating

Appendicitis is the malady Of the
day; 1t is the most prominent malady
In the course OF the discussions Of the
learned societies. Its causes must he
numerous; In any case, the theories
emitted respecting its appearance are
manifold.
NJ. Metchnikoff, in recent communi-
cation to the Paris Academy Of Medi-
cine attributed an important part In
the development OF appendicitis to in.
festival worms, ascarides and trlch-
ocephsles. especially the last named,
which. by causing eroslons OF the in,es-
final mucous membrane, create an ea-y
means Of infection by the morbid germs
contained In the intestine.
Northern China is, perhaps. Of All
countries in the world, the one In which
hemonthiesis is the most widely
spread. and In a recent communication
presented to the Academy of Medicine
in reply to NJ Metchnikoff's communi-
cation, NJ. Matigpon states that appen-
diclus Is very rare there. even II it is
noticed at all
Among the Celesiials lombricoid
parasites are found among ninety-hye
10 ninety-eight per cent OF the children
and among seyenty-five per cen. OF the
adults. Among Europeans the propor-
ton is only twenty-five per cent In
short. IL is very rare 10 ind a Chinese
whose digestive tube Is not infested
by tlIese parasites. The ascaris lom-
brlcoides Is the commonest form.
trichocephales are also met with.
In spite OF the great frequency Of
Intestinal worms. NJ Matignon during
the four years that he spent In North
ern China never met with a single case
~ appendicitis. either In the French
missions or In the hospital al Nantang.
Nor did he meet any during the same
period among the little international
community OF l20 persons who were un-
der his care. Thrcf~iimes only--in the
case Of a young Russian girl and OF
two Lazarisi missionaries-did he OBJ

with specific properties. This surgeon,
I'm fact. considers that It suiiices TO
keep the finger in a small glass OF
brandy for half an hour and repeat the
bath several times a day TO put a stop
to the pathological processes on the
point OF breaking out
This conclusion led NJ. Filaton TO
have recourse 20 the application OF
congresses Of alcohol in the case OF
a boy twelve years OF age, suffering
from Appendicitis, in which he WIS
sent for In consultation. Here is his
method Of procedure: a compress OF
gauze folded in four, and wide enough
20 cover the entire stomach, Is thor
oughly stepped in alcohol at SO degrees,
slightly squeezed. applied directly on
the skin and covered with flannel. over
all Is placed an ice bag, and the COM
press is changed every hour. as soon as
the alcohol has evaporated Opium is
administered al the same time.
At the end Of two or three days
very very marked Improvement was
recorded. and the child completely re-
covered short time afterward.
! do not think that In this case the
curative role should be attributed TO
the alcohol alone II has happened 20
all physicians who are not convinced

every case to witness the contraction
and cure OF appendicitis under the ac-
ton Of cold congresses and opium. and
II would appear that IN the cnse cited
the alcohol acted as a refrigerant.-

OF a toenia in the intestinal tube, for
they were not reproduced after the ex-

The extreme rarity Of appendicitis

people whose digestive tube Is infested

TO be In conflict with the theory OF
NJ, Metchnikoff. which tends to attrib-
hie TO lombricolds an important part
In the appearance OF appendicitis.

incriminated by Keen, Of Philadelphia.

II Is possible that TO this diet Is due

that the preceding observations strong.

to the stimulating influence OF an ex-

New York, and finally came to the
little settlement Of Shenandoah, YER

Here he stopped TO rest and here on
August 4, 1916, Russell Sage was born.
The house where he was born was
torn down years ago, but the old barn
yet stands and Is used as a tinkers
shop. Two years later the family
moved TO Durhamyille, and here on u
farm, Russell lived until he was twelve
years old. The elder Sage died in 1854.

twice been elected to Congress-
Russell was the youngest Of a family
OF six children and they drfted away
from the farm when he was O boy
From the earliest time he can remem-

once in while young Russell made
a trip TO Oneida Lake, which was but
few miles from the old farm. In
those days the lake was alive with fish,
and the surrounding forests were full
of game. But these periods Of recrea-
ton were few and far between, and
there was little TO relieve the tedium
OF hard work. There were few boys In
the neighbOrhood, and Russell Sage
does not look back with pleasure to
these boyhood days.
At the age OF twelve. when most boys
are at school or at play, Russell Sage
left the farm and went with his broth
er TO Troy. In the winter months he

Erie canal. The state authorized the

Commission of Herbert Pierce, of Massachusetts as Third Assistant Secretary of State Signed-Presi- dents Thanksgiving PrOcIama- ton CabIed to Manila.

Washington, Nov. 16.-It is said at he state department that no authori- zation has been sent to Consul-Gener- al Dickinson to exempt from punish ment the brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone, as one of the conditions of her ransom. In fact, our government has not authorized any promise whatever 10 be made that would bind it's hands in dealing with this subject in the fu- ture, or that would prevent it either from insisting on the punishment of the brigands or from lodging de- mand for full indemnity for the mon- ey which may be paid over as ransom for Miss Stone. There is no disposi- tion to disavow any of MT. Dickin- sons acts, but the officials here are confident that he has not compro- missed the case. Because of his diplo- matic rank it is left to MT. Spencer Eddy, United States charge daffaires at Constantinople, to make any repre- sentations of diplomatic character and that he is exercising his function in that direction is exhibited in the character of the representations he has been making to the Bulgarian agents at Constantinople. These rep resentations make it evident that the United States is laying the founda- tion for claim that Bulgaria is prop erly responsible for what has oc- cured, though for prudential reasons the details of the negotiations are withheld from publication.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Two of Lord Kltcheners Monthly Reviews of Operations in Disputed
 Territories.

London, Nov. 1.-Two of Lord Kitchener's monthly reviews, dated August and September s, were pub lished in the Gazette last evening They are chiefly summaries of wide. sweeping movements through all parts of the disputed territories, with ths results, casualties and prisoners cap tured, as previously reported. An as- tonishing number of horses were cap tured, those in August alone number ing 3,570. About 20 per cent. were fit for remounts and the others are brood mares and foals.
 Though admitting the disappointing results of some of the operations, Lord Kitchener comments on them as follows:
 ''So long as this rate, of progress can be maintained, there can be little doubt of it's ultimate effect, even on an enemy to whom no other form of argument seems to appeal"
 The report further says that the system of chains of block-houses at intervals of mile, and somtimes less, along the railroad was~being eX- tended. Besides extending the lines, these blockhouses hamper communi- cation between different portions of the Boer forces and act as barriers against which to drive the enemy.
 Lord Kitchener says:
 "The influence of the Boer leaders and their organized system of intinl- idation still keep in the field a large number of burghers, who, if left to themselves, would be ready to surren- der"
 The writer favorably mentions sew eral hundred officers, non-commis- toned officers and men.
 A dispatch from Lord Kitchener dated from Pretoria yesterday, says that a strong patrol of yeomanry, while reconnoitering November 3, at Brakspruit Gin the Transvaal colony, surrounded by 300 Boers and lost six men killed and sixteen wounded. Some of the troopers were captured, but subsequently, released.
 The rear guard of Col. Byng's col il1nn was attacked near Heilbron. Or ange River colony, November IA, by 400 Boers, said to be under the com mand of Gen. DeWet. After two hours fighting the Boers retired, leaving eight dead on the field. Of Col. Byng's column Lieut.. Hughes and one man were killed and three off, cers and nine men were wounded.

HE COULDN'T GO IT ALONE.
When His Confederate Died George ZOlleinhOffer Acknowledged
 Their Seedlings.

New York, Nov. 16.-Defalcations amounting, it is claimed, to $6O,oOo have been discovered in the accounts of the Williamsburg savings bank, an institution conducted at Williams burg, in the suburbs of Brooklyn. Gen. J. V. Meserole, the president of the bank, is authority for the state- ment that the parties implicated in the affair are Harry E. Corbett, a former paying teller of the bank, who died November 9, and George Zollein- hotfer, receiving teller, who, it is alleged, gave the first information leading to the discovery.
 The bank is fully protected, it is said, by the bonds of both Corbe tt and Zolleinhoffer. Harry E. Corbett had been in the employ of the bank for IS years. He was looked upon as a man of exemplary habits, and not the slightest suspicion attached to him up to the time of his death.
 According to Gen. Meserole, on Fri day of last week George Zolleinhoffer, one of the receiving tellers, went to the cashier, William Burns, and con- fessed to him that he (Zolleinhoffer) and Corbett had for the past two or three years taken funds from the in- stitution for the purpose of stock gambling, and that so far as he could estimate, the amount that had been lost was between $50,00O and $6O,OOO Cashier Burns had Zolleinhoffer re- peat his confession to President Mese- role and a meeting of the trustees of the bank followed.
 The examination was not concluded that day, nor is it yet concluded, but irregularities enough were found to show that Zolleinhoffer had not ex- aggerated the extent of the defalca- tions.
 Zolleinhoffer, after making his con- fession, placed himself in the hands of the trust companies, and is aiding them in the investigation of the books. He was, with one exception, the oldest employe of the bank, hay ing been with the institution for 33 years. He is 60 years old
