TREATMENT OF PeRITYPHlLITlS.
Many Doctors Believe Trouble Can BE
Relieved without Surgery.


Relieved without Surgery.
Perityphlitis is only another name
for appendicitis, or Inflammation Of
the vcrmiform appendix. This little
sac is attached to the intestines
rather low down in the abdominal cav.
ity on the right side. Sometimes the
disease manifcsts itself slowly, and
sometimes very suddenly. The infam-
nation is usually attended with rath-
or severe local pain and a low fever.
It's further effects are variable. 1t Is
not uncommon for small absceSs or
tulnor to form in the appendix. and
this usually, but not always, contains
pus. If the latter should perforate
the wall OF the appendix and leak out
into the abdomen it is likely to pro-
ducc peritonitis, or Inflammation OF
the membrane that lines that cavity.
This is the most serious phase of the
malady.
Many practitioners Of reputc believe
that the trouble can be relieved with
cut surgery, and rely chiefly on ca
thartics. When an operation is under
taken the first step is to make an in.
cision in the abdomen large enough
t. expose the appendix and permit
careful inspection. Should an abscess
be discovered, 1t is usually opened and
drained of its contents. Not lnfre'
Guently the appendix is itself re-
moved. and the lutte opening left in

sewn up. While removal may not be
REGARDED as necessary TO insure re-
covery. it prevents recurrence OF the
trouble. ~
The outcome of an operation de-
penls largely on what is found. III
mild cases, token in hand promptly,
recovery is almost universal. Deata
seldom results unless lIere has been
a perfora,iOn ci TIC appendix, an ea-'
cape Of contents into the abdominal
cavity, and the development OF perl
,onitis. Even then oliy half OF the
cases terminate fatally.
Appendicitis occurs more frequent
" in men than women and the ma
iority Of its victims are between 10
and 80 years old Older people are
rarely affected. A variety of causes
Lave been suggested for the maiady
Few modern students CT the problem
believe that tx presence of Lara OBJ
iects, like grano seeds. in the appen'
dix is responsible for the iliiamma--
ton. The Eotion that other intestl'
raj matter lodging in the appendix
may provoke inflammation has also
BEN generally discarded One of the
LAT er theories on the subject attributes
the disease to a natural change, or
degeneration, which tends to elimi'
nate the appendix from the system al
together. Taking people of all ages to.
gcther, it is estimated that in about
% percent this sac has disappeared.
Among people over 60 years old, 1t IL
said, it exists in only about 80 per-
cent.-New York Tribune.

THRIFTY FRENCH PEASANTS.
Nearly 10000. 900 1.-Two Upon Their Own
Land.

Land.
The proportions in which the Occu-
pations Of French society are divided
between agriculture, industrialism
the professions and the arts is natural
and right. Practically half her popu'
lation is Immediately dependent, as
is a considerably higher percentage
indirectly, upon the cultivation OF the
soil. Above all, nearly 100000 mem
ebrs Of families live upon their own
land, and the employers are more
numerous than the employed-a thing
unique in the world, says the Nine
teenth Century. The salient TACT III
the social structure Of France Is that
she numbers no less than three and
half millions of proprietors who are
their own men, wit the dignity OF
labor added for the most part to that
of independence. They are the sup
mort of the state which loads them
with taxes and is sustained by their
indomitable economy. AS Glass;
paradoXical as it may seem to MAKE
such a statement of the dominating
element of the French people, they
are more valuable and less VOLUME
than any equally broad portion OF So
ciety in any other country. The nun
her of owners of land under the Ihlrd
Republic increases automatically from
wear to year. Nj. Hanotaux falls into
that sober and convincing key by inc
very compulsion of his subject "hei.
he sums up his study of the village Oh
Peaurieux. ITO live among these p
people of the soil (Francais de

as peasants, is to be struck by 'he'f
easy good manners, their pleasantheSs
and courtesy, their common sence'
their r,utual helpfulncss. To tax u
them to take part in their consul'a-
tions, is to find oneself IN uhAues.

tones are seldom raised, where 'he
hereditary prudence OF the peasant

and lends each well-weighed decision
