SCORES THE KNIFE
FOR APPENDICITIS
Doctor Klein of Berlin Says There
are Too Many Operations.
WHAT THE KNOWN DOCTORS
HAVE TO SAY ON THE SUB,
JECT is INTERESTING. sf

A oablegram from Berlin, Germany,
ito the Chicago Daily News says:
Measures to place a check on the
growing fad for operating for appen-
dicitis are strongly urged upon Ber-
lin physicians by DR. Richard Klein,
one of the local sanitary commission
lers. DR.. Klein issues statement
declaring that popular apprehension
lof the disease is greatly exaggerated.
/ he expects that an official inquiry
just made among Berlin physicians
and surgeons will prove needless the
iapprehensions instilled in the public
mind regarding the prevalence and
character of the malady. ID. Klein
asserts that large number of the
operations are ascribable, either to
the alarm of the patients themselves,
or the excessive willingness of GER
tain surgeons to operate
| When interviewed upon The subject
by reporter, the known Doctors who
have their Oskaloosa Institute located
/ on the second floor of the Herald
Building, 1873 ~ Market ST., said that
they heartily agreed with DR.. Klein
on this subject. y
| The Known Doctors are the first
physicians of prominence to cry out
against the craze for surgical oper-
atoms, which, during the past few
years. has developed into proportions
which alarm the conservative element
OF society. While they have ever
stood champions and, in fact, one of
the chief opponents of surgery, they
have maintained with all the vigor OF
their trenchant pen in The leading
Journals Of the country, that the knife
should only he employed as a last re-
SORT.
In their practice the Known Doctors
have always refrGined from surgical
procedure except when absolutely
necessary, understanding that il is
possible 10 accomplish the cure of
many complicated and deep-3eated
diseases by the right administering Of
Natures neyer-failing remedies with
out any recourse whatever TO surgery.
/ They have concentrated their splen-
did genius toward the cure of disease
by using only pure vegetable drugs
and medicines.
| The Known Doctors are not TO be
daunted by the fact that the patient
may have gone from one physician to
lanother in unavailing quest for cure
| They do NOT measure their own pow
ers by the standard set up by other
men. Some of the greatest triumphs
/ recorded in medical history have dis
regarded the repeated assertions of
contemporaries that certain diseases
were beyond the possibility of cure.

CAPTAIN OF NEW YORK GIANTS
GIVES SOME VALUABLE AD-
VICE 70 YOUNG
PLAYERS.

New York, July 6.-Capt. Larry
Doyle of the Giants, who shapes up
this season as If be would give the
Zinunermans and other sluggers of the
National League a warm race Tor the
championship batting honois, gives li
this article to the readers of The Dem
yer Post his views of the great science
of hitting the Lall.
"One of the first things that batter
should learn is bunting--how To lay
the bail down as the players say
The value OF the bunt can't be overcs
timated. [ think that some teams play
"A bunting game too much, and Man
ager McGraw has always been op-
posed To sacrifice game, but when 4
lunt is wanted. ii is wanted badly, and
while the Giants very seldom use it
only the fast men rs a rule--every
man on the batting onicr Is supposed
to be able to lay dovna bunt when IL
Is called for.
How TO Bunt.
'N hen you want TO liant you hold
your bat In the natural manner but
instead of swinging YOU slip the upper
hand a foot or 81 out along the bat ami
poke Your stick in tho path OF the
rall. The bat is not grippcd as tight
Is as when yor swing and the result
is that almost All the force of the bali
is absorbed. II rebounds only few
.eet and rolls In Whatever direction
you have guided it.
In real hitting, the sober fact is that
much of it is a guessing match between
latter and pitcher You don't have
much time tc change Your mind after
the ball leaves the pitchers hand.
The speed Is so great in big league
pitching nowadays that nearly all bat
ters have found it wise To grip their
bats farther away from the small end
than used to be the fashion, and thus
shorten the swing and increase the ac-
curacy OF the aim.
Swing Heavy.
THE strength of Your swing is, OF
course. governed by Your bodily
strength. but in any ease, swing. Don't

stuff. Don't do 1t on the BAN Held

Hurts on,y Himses.

The latest TRADE of Theodore
Roosevelt against President Taft
ougth to arouse a patriotic resent
ment in every mind.
According to Mr.. Roosevelt, the
president is dishonorable. useless
and a liar. The very words carry
their own refutation. The country
knows President Taft is honorable
and that he has accomplished sub
stantial results In his administra-
ton, Any n who knows him
knows that he is not untruthful.
Nj. Roosevelt gains nothing by be-
ing abusive. When he descends into
billingsgate and becomes a common
scold, he hurts nobody but him
self. The yehemence of his language,
however, betrays the bitterness Of
his spirit, emphasizes the intemper-
ateness OF his character and dem
onatrates the desperate situation in
which he hnds himself.
