CURE APPENDICITIS BY KNIFE.
Doctors Consider the Disease Essentially
One for the Surgeon.

1t is generally agreed among the mem
bers of the medical profession of Amer
lea that appendicitis is a surgical dis
ease; that is, one that generally arrives
at stage where the removal of the YER
inform appendix becomes imperative. 1t
Is agreed also that science has made
great progress toward an understanding
of the disease
When arrested at its inception the dis
ease yields readily to treatment, out
when attention to it is delayed the infec-
ton extends TO the surrounding tissue
and chances for fatal results are large
ly increased. VermifOrm appendix means
'wOrmlike appendix" and the name is
suggestive of the form of the organ. 1t
is described in medical works as ''a blind
tube about as thick as an ordinary lead
pencil and varying from three to six.
and even more, inches in length, at
tached to the rear of the caecum," which
is the name applied to the beginning of
the large intestine.
The appendix is somewhat cratic in
its position, and one of the dangers of
the operation to remove it is the diff
Guilty in locating it.
Generally the affection Is indicated by
pain and tenderness in tho right side of
the abdomen opposite the upper portion
of the hip, but surgical experience has
taught that the point of tenderness, as
located by pressure on the abdomen, is
not always indicative of the position of
the affected part. The appendix is poor
ly supplied with blood from a single ar
terry, and is of low vitality. When in
health iii the adult it is apparently with
out function.
Appendicitis may be caused by an in
jury or overeXertion, but generally it re-
suits from the introduction of some for
eign substance into this little tube, which
becoming imbedded there, produces irri-
tation. When such irritation is present
it makes the interior of the tube the
swarming ground of bacteria, which mi
CRATE into the tissues and cause the
trouble, DIR. j. Coplin Stinson of San
francisco in recent article tells of
some of the foreign bodies that have
been found in the appendix either dur
ing operation or post norton investiga-
ton.
In one case 122 bird shot were found
in the appendix of a man who in life
had experienced no discomfort from their
presence. Pins, pieces of bones, bits
broken from the teeth, cherry stones, ap-
pie pits, bits of grass or straw from a
broom, oat husks, date seeds, and kin
dred articles are common irritants.
In many cases persons have recovered
from the first attack of appendicitis
without the aid of an operation and
nave never bttu tIOuDltI dSdlils but III
general such recovery is followed at i'll
tervalS Of more or less frequency by 9th
er attacks, and each recurring attack
makes an operation more imperative.
This operation, if performed in time
and without accident is not considered
dangerous. The fatalities resulting are
mostly in cases similar to that described
as having prevailed with King Edward
where the infection had extended from

The Utilization Of Wastes.

The census bureau has issued a renorl
on the utilization OF wastes ANA by-Drod-
uctS in manufactures The report denies
that the profitable employment of wastes
in manufacture has reached its highest
degree of attainment. Instead it predicts
further developments even TO the extent
of converting by-products into the main
product OF an industry. The most con
spicuous instance Of such reversion i'm
the last decades of the Nineteenth cen
fury IS in the revelations OF coal tar anil
the highly developed utilization of its
many by-products. In the course of a
resume of the subject by industries the
report says, among other things, that
from S3,000,000 to $4,OO0.0OO worth Of
wool fat and potash are run down the
streams and wasted annually in the Unit
ed States and similar lost opportunities
for utilizing waste material are pointed
out.
