Despite the chemicals compounded

natural" both the compound itself,
rs well as the casing" us the gut 10
now called, are frequently the abode
Of micrO-organlsms.
1t is these ro.organisms that
cause appendicitis.
The word appendicitis means an in
Illumination Of the vcrmiform appendix,
which lies In the lower right hand cor.
ner of the abdomen.
The vermifOrm appendix Is sack
attached to the intestine.
II is into this resting place that the
microbes crawl and cause trouble.
The real trichIna microbe, which Is
very abundant In pork, and for which
10 search Is made by the Beef Trust,
eats through all the human intestlncs,
and, playing no favorites, Is always
fatal.
But the bad meat micrObc, which
causes appendicitis, has not strength
enough to bore through the intestincs.
1t merely crawls into the first and
only stopping place In the bowcls--the
vermlform appendlX-and there 1t
works away until 1t starts inhamma-

caused no trouble.
Most Of the best physicians and the
ablcst surgeons are now convinced that
appendicitis Is caused by bad meat.
The disease, singularly enough, was
never heard Of until Beef Trust meth

and now 1t IL to be found wherever
Beef Trust products have SALE.
According to the United States CEN

citls In 1900. The disease was not even
mentioned In tho United States census

the very day that the city discontinued

sued the following remarkable instruc'

1905:
''The Commissioner has issued the
following instructions to the chief In

"'While actinomycosis Ii usually

In one sense to be a localized disease
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved, believe 1t II

the entire carcass wherever the actl

mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part OF
the digestive or respiratory tract; O.
when the Emphatic glands are invOk
