NEW VIEW OF APPENDICITIS
Boston Phystcian Say Operation for

Appendicitis has popularized itself as a
disease to which universal man is liable.
Science has grappled to eradicate either
the disease or the appendices.
In the outset the disease attacked prin-
cipally the weather. classes. but in It's
later progress it has extended to all classes
and conditions Of life. and Appendices
human beings now daily walk the streets
OF every city and hamlet in the land.
Hence, startling is the information which
comes from Boston. the center OF learning.
that one Of the best known physicians of
that city has declared operations for ap>
pendicitis is the form of surgical craze
which the law should declare criminal.
Hear him: IAN operation for appendicitis
should be called a criminal operation and
as such should be prohibited by law. 1
have been following the records OF appendi-
eitis operations ever since the craze for
this form of surgery started. and 1 con-
fidently believe that the day is coming
when the people will realize that the cut
ting is a criminal operation. After the
widely proclaimed benefits and saving OF
life by operations to cut out tie appendix,
It seems hardly necessary to cite the long
lists Of deaths following the operation"

Darlington would say. If the Boston ply
