MEDICAL TERMS.
Rules as to Certain Plur; Is Applicable
Also to Other Words.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
How to form the plural of some medical
words is a puzzle TO many physicians. We
have been asked especially as to the proper
form of the plural of neutritis, nephritis,
etc, and of iris. formula, etc 1t seems to
us the general rule must be that If they are
English words, ie., written in Roman and
not in italics they Should form their plurals
just as other English Fplurals 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 acclimatization
than the adoption of the English form Of
plural.
If the Latin form is preserved, then we
should print the words in italics and use X
as little as possible. But in English are
compelled to use nephritis, etc, because
there are no other English words descrip-
tive of the facts. Such words are as thor
oughly anglicized as any can be. If not we
should use the Greek alphabet in printing
them. Why, therefore, preserve the Latin
or Greek form of plurals? Who would say
lexica Instead Of leXiconS, factOta and ulti-
mata instead Of factotums and ultimatums?
In the same way We think that chon-
dromas, carinomas, fibromas, etc, adden-
dums oVums, erratums, mediums, focuses,
funguses, formulas, genuses, stamens, In
dexes, apparatuses, appendices, cherubs,
seraphs bandits, criterionS, etc, are the
proper plural forms. In words ending in
is the change to -es in forming the plural
is so well established and so simple that it
| should not be interfered with.
In this way We have accepted and habit
ually use analyses, bases, crises. hypothe-
| ses, oases, parentheses, theses. etc. Why
should we not also form the plurals of our
/ words ending in -itis in the same way, In
| stead of the Greek -itides? The forms neu-
| rites, nephrites, etc, seem preferable tc
| neuritides, nephritides, etc. We would pre-.
| fer irises to irides and iritses to iritides
| The objections to -itides are so evident thai
they need not be discussed, and -itses i:
scarcely likely to be accepted, although it i:
perfectly proper and preferable to -itides.

A Disorderly Republic.

The republic of Colombia has given the
United States more trouble of late than any
of the other unquiet folk that follow the
pursuits of internecine war instead Of COM
merce Twice it has been necessary to
land American marines and bluejackets.
The last time was only recently as every
body will remember. The affair before that
was in 1885, when McCalla took Colon and
then sent his men across the isthmus In
armored cars and scared the revolutionists
and legitimists alike into stopping it,
whatever it was
In the last seventy years Colombia has
had more than twenty-five revolutions that
are considered big enough to record. OF
small side shows in the same hne, such as
local instructions in separate provinces, no
full account ever has been made. If there
had been, the history of the country would
read monotonously like a police blotter.
The bureau of American republics once
essayed to publish handbook on Colom-
hia and the statisticians charged with the
work nearly lost their minds trying to de-
wise polite way of giving resume of Its
history that should be truthful and yet po-
lite enough to hurt no ones feelings. The
republic itself has published such hand

Possibly 1t was devious Latn-American
politics, and possibly it was merely straight
Latin-American acquisitiveness, that led
certain dark, bare-footed Colombian reVo-
lutionsts under General Herrera to seize,
or to be accurate, to steal, or to speak in
Hererra's language, appropriate, certain
thousands of bags of coffee belonging to
the planters Of Chiriqui. 1t was only
incident in the somewhat wearisome
on for some time in the chaotic affair that
calls itself, between revolutions, the repub-
lie of Colombia.
But 1t was an incident that promises to
awaken lively American interest in the
noisy game. For it happens that most of
the appropriated coffee belongs to Ameri
can citizens; and it happens that Chiriqui
is on the Isthmus of Panama and that the
United States has long had it's eye on the
spot as being just the thing for cOaling
station and base.
So it may be that. in unravelng the
tangle Chiriqui will become a place with
the American flag flying over it.
Central and South American republics
are only just beginning to awaken to the
fact that it is not open season for Ameri-
cans whenever a Latin-American feels like
shooting. A few years ago the arrival of
an American warship was so rare in the
ports along the Caribbean that many
of the night blooming governments did
not know what an American naval officer
looked like. But lately, and especially in
the last few months, the republics and die
tatorships whose coasts front on the great
tropical ocean have not been able to open
their mouths real wide before rapid fire
battery would peer at them from the deck
