having her development conventions

How to Prevent Appendicitis.


Joseph Kidd, MD, an eminent English
physician and specialist, deals with the
cause and cure of appendicitis in a manner
and from a point of view which make his
observations of exceeding value and interest
to the lay reader DR. Kidd has had fifty
years of extensive practice in London and
1t is his testimony that appendicitis was
very infrequent until about twenty years
ago. As for the causes of the disease. he
attributes it often to a chill. Hurried eating
and imperfect mdstication he saws are
very potent causes of appendicitis. The eX-
cessive use of aperIent waters and salts is
spoken of as another fruitful source Of
trouble. In the matter of prevention, Or.
Kidd sums up his advice under the follow
ing heads:
% Do not neglect chills when heated by
exercise, especially after games on grass,
or when much fatigued in mind or body.
The actual exciting cause in most cases is
chill. The bacterial forces are very uuies-
cent till the colon is blocked by uudigested
food, then a chill develops the peritonitis
to which the intamed appendix adds greater
intensity and danger to life.
CD Masticate well. eat slowly, do not swal-
low any food that is not perfectly softened
by the teeth. Even salads, fruit. nuts. al
monds, raisins, may be taken freely if really
well masticated. In the haste and hustle of
city life it is better TO take half a meal
well masticated than to bolt the whole in a
hurry.
Far better to let nature do her own work,
undiSturbed by purgatives of any sort. The
doctor may find 1t necessary TO order an
aperient for q sick person, but the Of
the aperient ought gradually to cease and
not become habit With patience and
diet management, nature may be allowed
unhindered to resume her ordinary habit
of health a slow. gradual process.

HYGIENE OF NURSERY
IMPORTANCE OF VENTILATION
AND GOOD MILK.
From the st. James Gazette.

From the st. James Gazette
Hygiene said the late DR.. Parkes-as
able an exponent of the subject as ever
hVed-'is the art of preserving the health
or making growth more perfect, life more
vigorous, decay less rapid, death more re-
mote. Can any study be more important
for mothers than this? On their knowI-
edge of it the future vigor of their chill
dren to great degree depends.
Imperfect growth, physical weakness,
early decay and premature death are too
often the result of disregard of the laws of
hygiene on the part Of parents.
The subject is large; the space at my
command for dealing with it small. Let
me put the principal and most necessary
points before you as tersely as I can
The chief requirements for the rearing
of healthy children are: First, pure air;
second, pure milk; third, plenty of sleep;
fourth, woollen clothing; fifth, cleanliness.
Do not ask which are the most important.
They are all equally So
Children are quickly and disastrously af-
fected by breathing impure air. In the
hygiene of the nursery free and thorough
ventilation is first requisite. The young
est baby is poinSon maker; he expires
carbonlc acid gas and he consumes the OK
ygen of the air as an adult does, but more
quickly, for the flame of life in an infant
is burning at quicker rate than in a
grown person. The pulse beats of a baby
during the first couple of months are 100
to 100 minute, and up to the twelfth year
they are quicker than after that age. Chill
dren, therefore, require plentiful supply
of oxygen and even more urgently than
grown people.
The nursery must possess an open fire.

Goes Back as Ambassad dor.

Upon returning home Barlow was sent as
ambassador by President Madison in 1911 to
France. His diplomatic skill was in request
and Napoleon Bonaparte being perplexed
by negotiations at his time of his Russian
campaign, sent for Barlow, the American
minister, to meet him at Wilma. The fatigue
and privations encountered while upon this
journey gave him Inflammation of the lungs
and he died at a cottage in Poland, before
accomplishing his mission. His last poem,
dictated from his deathbed, was a powerful
expression of resentment against Napoleon
for the hopes he had disappointed.
In 1907 Barlow published a book called
the ''Columbiad," the most costly publica-
ton that had ever been undertaken in
America In its design it was an historical
view of events from the time of Columbus
to the scenes of the revolutionary war and
American independence
Joel Barlow was a cultivated and enter
prising man of affairs and a true patriot.
Some of his descendants still occupy high
social distinction in the national capital
Near where he lived was buried the body
of Admiral Decatur, who was killed by
Commodore Barron at the dueling grounds
at Bladensburg.

Undertaking materially reduces the risk
of these.

While in Paris Barlow still kept up his in

cause of freedom. In 1898 Barlow was ap-

oners. He remained in Algiers two years
