APPENDICITIS is NOT NEW.
Egyptians Knew of SO-CalIed Mod
ern Disease 1000 Years Ago.

Chicago.-Dr. Carl H. Won Klein,
after twenty years study and an oudl
lay of $4,000 has translated the
'Papyrus-Ebers" as Egyptian medi-
cal work 1000 years old.
The papyrus was revealed in 1872
by George Ebers, who with the aid
oil Ludwig Stern and some Egyptol-
ogists, published the fact that Hop
pocrates, the Greek, who had been
known as the Father of Medicine" i"
no longer possessed that title. Hip
pocrates died in S57 b. C.
THE Egyptian physicians were the
most learned in all the world" said
DR. Won Klein last night. 1.-THE in
carnations in the papyrus are beauti-
full. They cover all diseases. Even
appendicitis, which we considered a
new disease a few years ago, is de-
scribed."
