THE AppENp1crTrs swIKDLE

DR.. M. j. Redermund in most inter
esting article in the Medical Brief says
that he las witnessed and assisted in
thirty -four operations of so-called appen'
dicitis, but never saw diseased appendix.
Yet he has seen a number of healthy
young men and women stnt to the angels
just because the surgeons wanted the fee
of three to FIVE hundred dollars.
In one case, man was operated upon
who had nothing, only an irritable
stomach and indigestion, but the surgeon
made him believe he must have that ap-
pendix removed to get well. He had it
removed aud recovered, but the peri
toneum failed to mite, and there was
hernia. lie operated the second time
and the man made good recovery. The
six weeks in the hospital gave his stomach
and general system good rest and, OF
course, he went home feeling pretty good.
The best way to get reputation as sue
cessful surgeon is to operate upon healthy
people, and not get caught at it.
A boy of sixteen years was hurried to
the hospital, after being suddenly taken
sick, and the father was Informed that
the boy had appendicitis. On hearing
that-the operation would cost three hum
dred dollars, the father took bis son home.
On his arrival there the boy had natural
operation aud next day was as well as
ever.
In a case that occurred at Milwaukee,
the family was little sceptical, and
wanted to see tile appendix alter il was
removed OF course, as usual, a healthy
appendix was amputated, so the surgeon
cut off piece OF fat from the wall of the
abdomen, twisted il, SO it looked like q
cork screw, dipped it into blood of the
patient, showed it to the family, and ex-
plailed to them how destruction and dis
intergatioil had taken place, and tnat the
operation was just IN the nick of time to
save the maii's life. The family and
physician are well known and prominent.

INCOME FOR MARRIAGE

E
The Chicago Commons has decided
that an eligible young man who has saved
5000 and met young woman whose
training at home. in school and possibly
at social settlements and similar institu-
lions has fitted her to do her part in the
making of an attractive home, can afford
to pop tlle question" aud ask that the
day be named.
In the absence of exact statistics it is
safe TO guess TINT considerably less than
half the families Of Chicago live on, con-
silerably less than half Of 500 month.
Tie average income Of families in the
United States is less than $500 year.
II is demonstrated by means of tables
aud diagrams that on salary OF 500 a
month married couple can, under The
circumstances named, not only live com
fortabls in a five room flat. but save $500
the first year toward home of their
own.
Really, income Is the least important
thing in happy marriage, aud has been
sucli ever since the red roses Of love FIRST
began blooming III the human heart.
The things absolutely essential TO the
happy home are strangely few. Chiel
among them are labor and love. Neither
OF these costs money. But both Of them

Worked TO Death.

The late Henry Harland is said to
have received $4,000 from one of his
novels. His method of work accounts
for his premature death. When the
desire to write came upon him in 1884
he occupied minor place in the sur
rogate's Office in New York. where his
hours were so long that he found lit
tie time for literary labor. In order
to lengthen the ordinary day he re-
tired directly after dinner and slept
until 1 o'clock in the morning. when
he arose and after drinking large
cup of black coffee wrote steadily un.
til breakfast time. II was under such
circumstances that he wrote his first
stories of Jewish life over the pen
name of Sidney Luska."
