USE OF APPENDIX

NEW YORK. Oct 15.-Dr Israel
Feinberg, president of the Board of
Coroners, says that he has arrived at
a. new conclusion with regard to the
history of the vermiform appendix IN
the human being and its utility. DR..
Feinberg spent 15 years in the study
of the appendix, seeking a cure Of APP
pendicitis and to discover the purpose
of the organ in the human structure
The conclusions which he has reached
are novel in medical annals.
Briefly, DR.. Feinberg believes that
the appendix is of vital Importance in
the unborn child After the birth of
the child, Dr. Feinberg declares, the
utility of the appendix is at an end
and the organ gradually atrophies,
until in mature life it stimulates a
rudimentary mass of tissue.
"The appendix is found in an en-
larged state in the child before birth,
Dr. Feinburg said, "As is commonly
know n, the child at that period pos
sesses several organs that differ
greatly from those which are found
Immediately after birth. when he be-
gins to breathe and take nourishment
for instance, the heart, the lungs
and the intestinal tract. In my opin-
ion, the appendix has some particular
action in relation to the intestinal ca
nal until the time Of birth.
From various opportunities for OBJ
servation and experiment l have dis
covered that the appendix has a
valve-like action upon the intestines
which prevents the entrance of for
eign substances into the body of the
unborn child. After the birth of the
child the appendix gradually grows
smaller until at last IL contracts so
that only a small opening is left in
place of the wide mouth which for
merly opened into the intestinal tract

organ. due TO the fact that there is no

that Il, therefore, becomes atrophied.

the unborn child is a rudimentary or
gan 7 deny. After the birth Of child,
when the appendix ceases to func-
ton, another valve known as the ileo-
cocoal takes up its work. so that the
same results are achieved sby nature
through another organ"
Or James J. Walsh, an eminent au-
thority upon medical affairs, express
ed interest in DR.. Feinberg's observa-
tons
"Dr. Feinberg's conclusions are not
only possible. but probable" was the
way DR.. Walsh expressed himself.
"As yet we know very little about the
true function of the appendix. and
any now light upon its place in the
human scheme is interesting. I shall
be pleased to follow DR.. Feinberg' s
deductions further
"If what DR.. Feinberg says is true
about the use Of the appendix before
birth and its atrophication after birth
then the appendix is an organ some-
what analogous to the thymus gland,
behind the thyroid gland in the three
The thymus gland is very large Just
before and after birth but when the
child is two years old the gland grad
ually atrophies-shrivels up-and ap-
parently is of no further use.
But l. for one, must take issue
with DR.. Feinberg when he says that
the appendix, in after life, is a use

very vital place. By forming and
loosing white blood cells into the in
testines it prevents many a serious
ailment"

STEEL POSTAL CARS
NEXT IN ORDER

The day of the wooden postal car is
rapidly passing. Under the federal
law governing postal service now in
force. the railroads cannot hereafter
put any more wooden mail cars into
service. After June 80, of next year,
the railroads must each year replace
25 per cent. Of the wooden mail cars
by steel ones.
Even the wooden cars which may
still be used until July 1. 1917. must
be constructed substantially in ac-
cordance with specifications laid down
by the Postal Department. The law
also states that they must never be
coupled between steel cars or between
a steel car and a locomotive. -

ment.
The investigation into rebating
charges that have been made will con-
tinue Charges, it was said. against

allegations are made under the act

cials of the railroads own and control
in names other than their own certain

Austria meets their wishes in a rea-
