DR.. RoAsTs APPENDIX CRAZE.
Doctors OFTEN Remove it to Hide
Their Errors.


Chicago, Feb. 1.-"When in doubt,
saw off the appendix"
This according to DR.. Harold X.
Gibson, physician for the State Fac
tory Inspection Commission is he
policy that Illinois surgeons have
adopted. That the surgeons are in
doubt many times, the doctor declar-
ed in a lecture here, is evidenced by
the fact that over 100 factory en-
ployes he has examined have had
their appendices removed in the last
year when they were not suffering
from appendicitis at all, but only from
"plumbism," better known as stomach
ache.
DR.. Gibson asserted that the whole
sale and promiscuous removal of ap-
pendices must stop; that physicians
have no right to make exploratory
operations upon patients, and then
cut out the appendices when they
find there is nothing wrong.
