SOMETHING ABOUT
YOUR APPENDIX
Continued.

The first essential to the treat
ment of acute appendicitis is toll
withhold all food, either liquid orI
solid, until every evidence of the
disease has disappeared. This is i'm
line with Natures effort to emp
ty stomach and bowels with vom-
iting and diarrhea. While there is
nausea even water should not be
taken since it tends to prolong the
vomiting. The patient should be
put to bed in well-aired room,
with heat to the feet An ice bag
should be kept over the diseased
organ and refilled frequently When
posi- BILE, hot bath just at the on
set of the attack and once or
lwice day thereafter, will bring
relief from pain and add to the
patients comfort.
The bowels, even if diarrhea
is present, should be cleaned out
carefully with an enema of warm
salt water, a tablespoonful of salt
to a quart of water. However, the
bowels must not be agitated to
any degree or the inflammation will
be increased rather than decreased.
The best plan is to allow only a
few ounces to run in and out OF
the bowels at time, until they
are cleaned out. This treatment
which includes neither food MOI
cathartics, keeps the intestine quiet

that the membership is still dn-
creasing and they being mostly

in Extra until God leads him out
into a larger field.
