piscoverer of Appendieitia

The late Dr. Reginald Heber Fitz OF
Boston, physician and surgeon of in
ternational reputation in appendicitis.
was graduated from Harvard college
in 1864 and from the Harvard Medical
school in 1868. Then he studied
abroad for two years. On his return
he became an instructor and later a
professor in the Harvard Medical
school and was also attached to the
Massachusetts General hospital. In
1886 he read a paper before the Asso-
citation of American Physicians on the
diagnosis and treatment Of perforating
inflammation of the yermiform appen-
dix. He ascribed the well known ia
tai Inflammation of the bowels to in
fection from inflammation arising in
the appendix and said that the prop
er treatment for such cases was re-
moval Of the appendix. The impor-
tance of his conclusions was at once
recognized. and it was suggested that
the disease that be had localized be
called for him. He objected. and 1t
was at his wish that the scientific
name of appendicitis was given to it.
