REGARDING MEDICAL TERMS.
Applicable Also to "A Number
of other Words.

How to form the plural of some med
icaI words is a puzzle to many physi-
clans. We have been asked especially
as to the proper form of the plural of
neuritis, nephritis, ETC., and of iris,
formula, etc. 1t seems to us the gen
eral rule must be that if they are Eng
lish words, i. E., written in Roman and
not in italics, they should form the
plural just as other English plurals
are formed. If they are still foreign
words, of course, the plurals must be
those commanded by the language
whence they come. There is hardly a
better proof of the accilmatiZatiOn
than the adoption of the English form
of plural, says American Medicine.
If the Latin form is preserved, then
we should print the words in italics
and use it as little as possible. But in
English we are compelled to use ne
phritis, etc, because there are no other
English words descriptive of the facts.
Such words are as thoroughly angli-
cized as they can be. If not, we should
use the Greek alphabet in printing
them. Why, therefore, preserve the
Latin or Greek forms of plurals? Who
would say lexica instead of lexicons,
factota and ultimate instead of fac
-totRns and ultimatums? In the same
way we think that chondromas, carci-
nOmas, fibromas, ETC., addendums,
ovums, erratums, mediums, focuses,
funguses, formulas, genuses, stamens,
indexes, apparatuses, appendices, cher
ubs, seraphs, bandits, criterions, etc,
are the proper plural forms. In words
ending in is, the change to -es, in form
ing the plural, is so well established
and so simple that it should not be in
terfered with.
In this way we have accepted and
habitually use analyses, bases. crises,
hypothesis, GASES, parentheses, theses,
etc. Why should we not form the plu-

Of all the quaint and varied sights
shown to the passing stranger, per-
haps there is none more attractive than
the officers quarters in the mainguard
of the citadel of Valetta. Long ago
some officer, finding the time hang
heavy on his hands, and having in him
besides a turn for sketching. be-
thought him to draw upon the bare
yellow washed wall of his ungarnished
room a picture in colors. The next
officer probably thought he-could do
as well, or better, and he, too, left his
handiwork upon the walls; and as
years rolled by there grew up a Gus
tom, now firmly established, for every
regiment serving in Malta and doing
mainguard duty to leave behind a re-
membrance of itself in the shape of q
sketch on the walls, in pencil, chalk or
paint. Thus now, instead of plain I'M
lovely walls, exists this quaint irregu-
lar patchwork of pictures, well known
throughout the services and to those
who use this highway to the east

KING edward VERY I'LL
An Operation For an Intestinal
Trouble Performed,
indescribabIe CONSERVATION Prevails
Throughout the Countrywide
Coronation Has Been lndefi-
nitelY Postponed.

London, June 25.-With dramatic
audiences King Edward has been
stricken down upon the eve of his cor
onation. He lies in a critical state at
Buckingham palace. In spite of the
intensity of this tragic interruption,
the lower element of London are maj
ticking" through the fiag-decked
streets, their portion of society in
gowns and jewels has gathered at
what is called a gala coronation din
ner at one OF the fashionable hotels
Indescribable CONSERVATION prevails
throughout the country and this con-
sternation is reflected in the cable
grams received from all the centers of
the universe.
King Edward is in a room facing
the beautiful gardens of Buckingham
palace and far from the street and the
crowd. If Tuesday nights progress is
maintained he will probably tide over
the effects of his severe operation,
which has successfully removed the
local trouble But should any compli-
cations occur, such as septic peritoni-
It's or blood poisoning, it is feared his
majesty's present physical and nerv-
Gus condition would prove unequal to
the strain involved. There is conse-

must pass before the possibility Of
danger can be eliminated.
Quiet and depressed the crowds
waited outside Buckingham palace for
the nights final news of the soveT-
eign. For several hours they kept
their patient vigil, wandering aimless-
ly, but with palpable anxiety, over the
open space which fronts the royal resi-
dence. For some reason or another a
feeling pervaded the crowds that il
the king lived until Wednesday night
he would live to be crowned.
Inside the palace all was quiet.
Queen Alexandra, who had been in the
vicinity of the sick room the entire.
day, dined with a few members of the
royal family. The callers who came
to the palace in the course of the ev-
ening cOntented themselves with driv-
ing up to the outer gates where they
alighted and walked in to inquire at
the eQuerries entrance for the latest
news. There they met only livered
servants and small knots of reporters.
With the exception of these callers,
and the noblemen who have the en-
tree to the court, everybody was rig
idly excluded from the palace by the
police. Lord Gray, a director of the.
British South African Co., and who
recently visited the United States, is
among those having entree to the
court. He said to representative of
the press Wednesday night that he
had good hope for the kings recovery
and that he was sure that every Eng
lishman was deeply touched with the
sympathy of the United States in the
present calamity.
Although" Lord Gray added, ''such
kind expressions of feeling are only
what I should expect after my recent
pleasant experience of American hos
pitality."

greatly distressed.
The pope and the king of italy and
other mOnarchs have cabled anxious
inquiries concerning King Edwards
progress and dispatches received from
all parts of the world reflect the in
tensity Of feeling occasioned by the
unexpected news of his majesty's i'll.
ness and sympathy with the British
nation.
London, June 26.-The following
bulletin was issued after IL o'clock
Wednesday night. The king continues
to make satisfactory progress. He
slept some hours during the day. He
complains very little of discomfort and
is more cheerful. The wound is doing
well. (Signed) Treves, Laking, Bar
low
London, June 26.-King Edwards
condition Wednesday night was even
more satisfactory tnan has been indi-
Gated by the last bulletin. He has
made a decided improvement and the
feeling at Buckingham palace is very
hopeful. His majesty is able to take
nourishment; he had scrambled eggs
and a little hook and soda Wednesday
evening and with his own hands he
opened several kilograms.
The bulletin issued at II o'clock
Wednesday night is regarded as being
the first occasion upon which the
kings doctors have allowed them
selves to express even to a small de-
gree, the hopeful feelings they I'M
doubleday even though privately, en-
terrain. Thirty-six hours have now
elapsed since the operation was per-
formed and the absence of complica-
lions creates hopefulness in all quar-
tiers, although as has been frequently
said in these dispatches several days
