SAVE YOUR APPENDIX.
This Mysterious Organ May Prove to
Be a Valuable Gland.

This Mysterious Organ May Prove to
Be a Valuable Gland.
The appendix is not a useless organ
undergoing degeneration, as has been
hitherto supposed. but is a valuable
gland, and persons should think twice
before having it removed. This is a
part of a report presented to the
French Academy of Sciences by DR..
Perrier.
Another well known French scien-
fist, the late DR.. ucas-Championnere,
warned the medical world some years
ago that the appendix probably was
nndeserving of present day contempt.
yet he was unable to establish the
possible function of this small and
mysterious organ.
DIR. Perrier's report is based upon
studies made by DIR. Robinson. The
latter collected the mucous secretions
from a large number of appendices re-
moved at the hospitals and prepared
a serum which. on being injected into
animals, was found to stimulate the
c%ontractile movements of the intes-
tines. DR.. Robinson. therefore. was
convinced that the appendix cannot be
cut out without seriously interfering
with intestinal action. although he
recognizes the necessity of operating
