train passing over his body. He was man
gled in shocking manner, his head, one
arm and one leg being crushed. Two ply

New Appendicitis Theory French Physician

NEW Hpp5HuICIIIs Ine0fy-Ffench Fhyslclan
says each attack twists the Affected Organ.
DIR. Routier, Partisan physician of note,
has advanced curious theory regarding
appendicitis. He says that each attack Of
the disease is followed by a torsion Of the
appendix, which explains why attacks
come again and again unless surgical pre-
vention is resorted to after the first attack
In one case that came under the doctors
observation, where a young man had had
four attacks and was operated on just in
time to prevent a fifth, the appendix was
found badly twisted.
