above all, he would try to reform the

THE CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
Sore Throat Germs May BE Rcsponsi-
hlc- According to KcCcnt IhcOry.

~ 80
What produces appendicitis Is SUN
much of a mystery, in spite of all the
supposed causes that have been dis
covered and announced in recent
wears. The idea which persisted long
est was that fruit seeds, or some other
foreign materials eaten with food
made all the trouble. Though II Is
still believed that such foreign matter
does induce a few cases, the proper
ton from his cause is not now be-
lieved to be. large, and the hunJ lor
others is still energetic.
The latest discovery is that there. Is
often an apparent connection between
a sore throat and appendicitis. There
Is some reason to believe that oc-
| c~asionally the germs which make the
trouble in a case of sore throat later
become ambitious and seek to find
other opportunities to stir up trouble,
and land in the appendix.
DR.. e. C. Rosnow Of Chicago, a
leader in the study Of a number or
| diseases, has definitely discovered in
many cases of appendicitis a certain
family Of germs associated with Vari-
| Gus diseases-especially with throat
infections. He has also found that
common germ, b. coli. which turks
in the intestines, in every case of APP
pendicitis.
Experiments by Doctor Rosenow
brought out the surprising fact that
these germs, which may be called
sore throat germs. seem to have
in some instances a noticeable affinity
! for the appendix; so hat many would
hurry to the appendix instead of re-
naming in the infected region of the
throat. The inference is hat APP
pendicitis often may be the second
stage of a throat Infection. IT has
long been known that an unusual
number Of cases OF appendicitis may
be reported at the same time when
sore throats are common in a com
munity.
II the differences from Doctor Rose
now's discoveries are backed up by
further experiments and experience,
immense benefit will follow. Most
people are quite willing to take simple
precautions to preserve health, as was
proved by the national distrust of
grape seeds that followed the theory
of seeds as a cause Of appendicitis.
Therefore, If it Is established that an
infectious sore throat may start APP
pendicitis more prompt attention
will be given to the first trouble; and
so the number of cases of appendicitis
will surely be reduced.-Saturday
