One of the best known physi-

au unexpected announcement.
He says that on operation for
appendicitis should be put In the
catagory OF crimes.
As Tor the widely proclaimed
benefits which the use of the
knife in such cases is said to pro-
ducs, this eminent practitioner
declares that upon investigation

Among the recent victims OF
the operation he mentions Gov.

Ever since King Edward under

QUEENS HOSPITAL WANTS
ENTIRE APPROPRIATION

On April 1 the Queen s Hospital did
away with its ruling against allowing
patients paying $3.50 per day or less
to have their own physicians, and it
is now said that there will be a strong
effort made to have the Legislature ap-
propriate all it's hospital fund in favor
of the Queens organization, instead Of
splitting the amount up among the vari-
Gus organizations of the city. DR..
o Day, who made a strenuous fight
against this ruling of the Queen s Hos
pital about year ago, said last night
that he would strongly favor the prop
osition of giving the entire approprla-
ton of the Legislature over to the
Queen S Hospital, under certain condi-
tions.
''This week. he said, sta bill is
before the Legislature providing for
a sum of money for the hospitals here.
The Palama Hospital-the old Chinese
hospitaI-has petitioned the Senate
that a part of this be given to them,
as Mrs. Anterior has been paying from
$500 to 500 every month to support
the charity ward There have been no
restrictions placed on the Palama Hos
pital, and the expenses have conse-
quently been rapidly increasing. All
doctors have had free access to the
hospital The burden of keeping up
the charity ward had grown so OF late
that it is altogether too much to ask
of any one person to carry 1t. The
change in policy of the Queens Hos.
pital came at time when Mrs. Ather-
ton was making an attempt to get
something for the Palama Hospital,
and, it seems to me. it would be better
to combine the proposition, having alb
solutely none of the old restrictions on
any of the hospitals of the city.
''The restrictions with regard to pa
tients and physicians which were for
merly in operation at the Queen s Hos
fpital had the effect of turning away
many patients to the private SANTA
RUINS of the city. [ believe that the
Queen s Hospital should be made as
self-supporting as possible, and with
this end in view, the legislative appro-
priation could be after all spent TO fill
in but a small deficit each period. Ii
this idea were carried out. the Palama
hospital might be done away with al
together.
