DROWNING MEN, ONE OF
WHOM DIES.

TYR men were found foundering in the waters
- the East and North rivers last night, and
living for help. One was so overcome when

AT present all the taxes from invisible
property come from a few conspicuously
conscientious citizens, from widows, eXecu-
tors and from guardians of the insane, and
infants; in fact. it is a comparatively rare
thing to find shrewd trader who gives
in any reasonable amount of notes, stocks
or money; the truth is, things have come
to such condition in West Virginia that.
as regards paying taxes on this class of
property, it is almost as voluntary and is
considered pretty much in the same light
as donations to the neighborhood church OF

stages of Inflammation Of the appendix
proper internal medication, and especially
the immediate application of the ice bag
over the seat of the trouble on the right
side of the abdomen as long as the attend
ing physician directs, may avert appendi-
citiS in nine cases out of ten; only milk,
clear, strained broth or beef tea being al
lowed for diet. This is the now recognized
treatment at this stage of the disease.
Later when the pulse and temperature are
very high, and the patient is in a danger
Gus condition, the treatment cannot be dis
cussed in a few lines. Hundreds OF cases
have been advanced to this latter stage just
through misconception Of the true charac-
ter of the disease, and neglect in immc-
diately calling in physician. Once intesu-
nal infia mmation gets started il goes on the
rampage like a prairie fire, and every hour
lost is of the utmost Importance in its con-
troll. In the matter of abdominal pans
people err in taking things for granted that
they are innocuous.
LAS to the ACCESSIBILITY of an operation.
that is matter Of opinion. but in the event
of gangrenous Inflammation. and other
dangerous complications, 1t is Imperative.
Physicians are often blamed for the loss
of case which the operation will develop
that the condition was such that the pa
uent was beyond medical or surgical aid
before the operation was even begun. These
instances are largely the result of the pa
TENTS delay in the initial treatment. Under
the old treatment cases of appendicitis were
largely diagnosed as Inflammation of the
bowels. The public should not forget that
the first operation for appendicitis was per-
formed as late as. L believe. 1887. 1t is
absurd to suppose that medical science may
master a new condition Of disease in
moment. and it should be borne in mind
that where patients once died from infiam-
nation of the bowels they now live through
appendicitis. There is much needless fear
regarding this disease, too. / would much
prefer taking my chances OF recovery from
an operation for appendicitis than from an
attack of typhoid, though ] am OF that
branch of the profession who does not look
with favor upon the theory of operation
at once under all circumstances"

AS TO APPENDICITIS.
Some Remarks by a Leading Wash
ington Specialist.

"a dispatch in The Star recently record
ing the death of the son of a follower OF
the faith healing theory from appendicitis,
calls to mind a point or two regarding this
much discussed disease which may well
be borne in mind by the public" said a
prominent Washington specialist.
THE father of this unfortunate boy sus-
tanned the faith doctor in his methods, and
opposed an autopsy. A compulsory autopsy
was nevertheless held. and it was shown
that the lads life might have been saved
by proper treatment, and that he had died
of peritontiS induced by appendicitis. The
father stated that the neighbors thought
that the boy had typhoid, and that he
thought that the disease was gastric fe-
yer. What the faith healer thought was
not given.
THE successive recurrence of these dis
tressing instances of neglect of helpless pa
tients will, before many years have passed,
cause such a revulsion of popular sentiment
that an adequate law to reach all con-
cerned will be written upon the statute
books of every state in the Union. Expos
ure in the press, local Indignation and aa-
verse opinion seem to have little effect in
leSSening these cases.
Medical opinion is not entirely in accord
in the treatment for appendicitis re-
CARDS time and the urgency cf CT opera
ton but out of several hundred cases
which have come under my personal obser-
walton the seed theory may be dismissed as
ticle of foreign matter, as seed, may OBJ
tain entrance into the appendix and set up
Inflammation, but 1 have never seen but
one instance of what was proved to be Il
grape seed, and only one of what was
thought to be a raspberry seed. Cold set
Ting in the parts is a prolific cause of ap-
pendicitis, as Is habitual constipation, and
intestinal infiamma ton resulting from the
various known causes. Persons who may
be seized with what they may consider to
be cramp or collie which will not respond
to the usual remedies should send imne-
diately for medical aid, as such symptoms
may be the forerunner of appendicitis. For
instance, patient came into my office re-
Gently. and, throwing himself upon the
couch. stated that he had been suffering
for three days with the stomach ache on
the contrary, he vas suffering from severe
attack of appendicitis. and he was then in
such a dangerous condition that he was
hurried to the hospital. where he subse-
quently recovered.
THE point is not to walt In the acu.e
