How to Prevent Appendicitis.

From Leslie's Weekly
Joseph Kidd, M. D., an eminent Eng
lish physician and specialist, deals with
the cause and cure of appendicitis in
manner of exceeding value and interest
to the lay reader. DR.. Kidd has had fifty
years of extensive practice in London,
and it is his testimony that appendicitis
was very infreauent until about twenty
years ago. AS for the causes of the dis
case. he attributes 1t often to chill
Hurried eating and imperfect mastica-
ton, he says, are very potent causes of
appendicitis. The excessive use of ape
RENT waters and salts is spoken of as an
other fruitful source of trouble. In the
matter of prevention, Dr. Kidd sums up
his advice under the following heads:
1. 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 quiescent till the colon is blocked
by undigested food; then a chill develops
the peritonitis to which the nflamed APP
pendix adds greater intensity and danger
to life.
9 Masticate well, eat slowly, do not
swallow any food that Is not perfectly
softened by the teeth. Even salads, fruit
nuts. almonds, raisins. may be taken
freely If really well masticated. In the
haste and hustle of city life it is better
to take half meal well mastcated than
