WILL STATE REUNION
DATE Be POSTPONED
Local Veterans Wish Later
Date

The action taken by Camp Sumte.-.
642, of Americas Tuesday, suggesting
to the citizens of Brunswick a post
ponement of the date for the state re-
union of veterans from July until Oc-
tober, will doubtless meet with favor
able consideration at the hands of the
brunswick camp and citizens.
Adjutant H. D. Watts, of the Ameri-
Gus camp, addressed a letter to tbs
Brunswick camp, suggesting the pos :
ponement of the state reunion, and the
subject is now under consideration
there with the prospect that the sug-
gestion will be adopted. The poin,
made by Adjutant Watts, as discuss I'd
by the veterans here, was that the
dates for the Gettysburg reunion and
the reunion in Brunswick, both sched-
u.ed for early July, were so near to-
gether that many veterans who went
to Gettysburg perhaps might not re-
turn in time for the Brunswick re-
union.
The Brunswick camp will soon an
nounce decision in the matter aud will
doubtless select some date in the early
fall, as suggested by Camp Sumter.

A PROTEST AGAINST OPERATIONS

With the large number of operations
that are being performed almost every
day by physicians there seems but Ill
tie wonder that some protest, how
ever radical and extreme it may be
called, has been registered against the
practice. 1t is a notable thing that
many of the most famous surgeons
and physicians are outspoken in their
protest against indiscriminate opera
tons.
There is a growing sentiment among
the people of the country that there
are entirely to many operations per-
formed for appendicitis and similar
diseases. The wholesale operations
performed for appendicitis and similar
upon the tonsils for instance have
been described by a we'll known Johns
Hopkins surgeon as unnecessary and
dangerous. The opinion of this auth
GRITTY is that operations if performe
when absolutely necessary would be
reduced to a very few 1t is his opion-
ion that here are entirely too many
operations performed now. The grow
ing protest against vaccination is an
other indication of the light that is
dawning in the popular mind relative
to some medical practices of to-day.
In this connection it is interesting
to note an article that appeared re-
Gently in the Washington Post, which
is as follows
A bill has been introduced in the
Colorado Legislature BY Representative
E. f. Kennedy providing for fine OF
not more than $4,000 for the removal
of an appendix by surgeon when it
can be proven to have been unneces-
sary. The supporters of this bill say
that not less than 80 per cent of oper-
ations for appendicitis are unneces.
sary. Many physicians hold that the
practice of operating for appendicitis
should be Systematically restrained by
law 1t would be we'll if the Englisn
practice were adopted, requiring that
an operation be performed by surg.
con only on the advice of physician
who is usually not surgeon, and in
the case of major operations the decis
ion Of more than one should be requir-
ed Many operations are necessary
and beneficial, but all conservative
physicians admit that many are I'M
necessary and permanently injurious
