SOMETHING ABOUT
YOUR APPENDIX
Continued.


However, it is quite likely appen-
dicitis is increasing in frequency.
fall disorders of digestion are on
the increase, for the reason that
people are eating more food and do
ing less physical work to consume
i the food; and appendicitis, as we
shall show, is digestive disorder
due to cvereating and improper eat
ing. The appendicitis fad" also has
20 do with the increasing number
of operations. The world-renowned
DR.. Osler, in his latest work, ssThe
Principles and Practise of Medicine
says: "There is a well-marked APP
toendicular hypochrondriasis Throug
the pernicious influence of the dali
~ press appendicitis has become a
sort of fad. The worst cases of
CHS class which / have seen have
been in members Of our profession,
and I know of at least one instance
n which perfectly normal appen-
dix was removed The question re-
ally has ludicrous side. A we'll know
physician in a western city having
one night pain in the abdomen,
and feeling convinced that his APP
pendix had perforated, summoned a
surgeon who quickly removed the
supposed offender
The one principle cause of appen-
dicitis is wrong eatin. By wrong
eating we mean not only increas-
ing use of fancy dishes and rich
.oods and drinks, but the use, in
|, sxcess Of the body's needs, of plain
foods, such as meat, potatoes and
breads. These errors of diet along
with ways of cooking and mixing of
foods that make digestion difficult,
leave in the bowels more or less I'M
digested, unused foods that fer
ments, decomposes and keeps up a
constant irritation, which, sooner or
later, results in actual inflammation
of the most susceptible portion. The
appendix is more likely to become
lnfIammed because it is located in
the most dependent portion of the
gut, where the food for the first
time in its passage through the
-ood tube, must travel upward and
against gravity, and where, when
the bowels are overloaded, there
IS certain to be stagnation and accu-
,mulation of fermenting and decom-
posing food.
1t is not likely that any one food
more than another causes append
citis. Meat in itself does not bring
about the disease any more than pc.
tatoes or the heavy foods. 1t is the
use of foods that are difficult of
digestion and the prevalent over
use of heavy foods that causes APP
pendicitis. Usually but little con-
nection is made between the food
and appendicitis; the average man
unless he is stricken with pain or
other serious symptoms in the sto-
mach directly after meals, rarely
thinks but what his food agrees per
fectly. Some other form of digestive
disorder so frequently develops a
year or two after operation for APP
pendicitis for the reason that the
old habits of eating still persisted
in affect another part of the di-
gestive apparatus.

URGES SPECIAL SIS GOLOPECE
PAN AMERICAN COIN WOULD
HELP TRADE.
Design Typifies North and South
American Continents and Should
Prove to Be Popular.

Washington, Jan. 27--Ex- Minister
Horace G. Knowles, who represented
the United States to Bolivia and Mica
ragua, has recommended to the de-
partment Of commerce and labor that
the government, as help to the popu-
lariEation of the dollar In the South
American trade, should coin a special
S. gold piece in connection with the
Panama-Paciffc exposition. so designed
that the Latin-American republics may
later be prevailed upon to adopt it
among their own national coins. II is
the purpose to thus establish a form
of money that will ultimately pass
current anywhere in the western hemi-
sphere.
On the design submitted by Mr..
Knowles to the department the face Of
the coin bears the head of the Goddess
of Liberty and that of an Inca Indian.
Surmounting the heads is en- inscrip-
ton in Latin, Peace, Brotherhood and
Justice" Underneath the heads the
numerical value OF the coin 10 ex-
pressed thus: 20 Dollars s."
Mr.. Knowles says that the design is
the only one that shows the male and
female of the human race together,
with the place Of honor given to the
woman, The design, he also points out,
'typifies the North and South Ameri-
can continents, the forceful Inca head
representing the earliest government
In this hemisphere, the refined Colum,
bian head the most modern" Mr..
Knowles suggested that the reverse
would probably be OF special design
for each OF the countries adopting the
"Pan-Amertean IS gold piece" but that
some compromise might be found even
for that.
