ALL WOMAN'S ORGANS
FOUND TO BE TRANSPOSED

ELKINS, W. Va, March 19.--Is
person of reversed anatomy who uses
the right hand as do other folks left
handed? And If such a person gets
appendicitis merely where the ap-
pendix ought to be, what has that
person got?
These are but two Of the questions
puzzling West Virginia physicians
since Mrs. Laura Cassel, OF Widdel,
was operated on at the Davis me-
mortal hospital here. Upon operating
the surgeons failed to find the ap-
pendix. Examination then disclosed
that the appendix was on the left side
and uninfected, that the heart was on
the right side, the right lung where
the left should be and vice-versa, and
liver, kidneys, and other organs just
opposite where they belonged. But
she carried out her principal tasks
with the right hand, it was noted,
and hence the question: 'Is she
right handed or left hander?"
