REGARDING APPENDICITIs.
Sir Frederick Treves Says Peritonitis
Should Be Encouraged.
CNew York Heraid-)

Sir Frederick Treyes in recent med
ieaI lecture in Liverpool is reported to
have said that peritonitis is now
looked upon as ii thing to be encour-
ged in cases of appendicitis This
statement, in connection with his ope-
ration upon King Edward VII, car
ries with it considerable significance,
but it is true in part only. 1t must
be understood that there are two we'll
recognized forms of this Inflammation
one protective and the other destruc-
tive-depending upon the presence or
absence Of 9tic infection.
IN the majority Of cases of appen-
dicitis, when the appendix Is merely
inaaned or liberated, nature walls IN
the affected parts by an effUsiCn OF
plastic 1ate-ial which limits the proc
ess and forms the boundary of the
future abscess. This is what occurred
to king Edward. and TO this circunl-
stance ne doubtless owed his fortu-

Interesting Items of n Miscellaneous

A second sensation has been created
at the Abbey mine at Kendall, Mon
tana.
Recently another cave was broken
into and it is quite as remarkable as
the one found some weeks ago. The
new cave extends down some IS feet,
and follows the ore body. After the
bottom of the old cave had been ex-
amined and the formation at that point
carefully studied the management de-
cided to run drift around and get the
ore body beyond. 1t was while this
work was in progress that the second
cave was encountered. The new cave
runs down a distance of about As feet.
Then for 40 feet further the cave
pitches to the northeast. The lower
half is much narrower
After recovering from their surprise
over the find the men began an in
vestigation. The upper half of the
cave was inspected, the men descend
ing by means of a rope. Ore was
found all the way, the opening being
along close to the hanging wall. The
lower half of the cave is very narrow
barely admitting the body of man
Water was found at the bottom, the
first encountered in the mine. This
shows the bottom of the cave is on the
water level. That point is $50 fee
from the surface-the lowest depth ye
reached in this district.

and it is increasing in size with ever,
