Dust and Iron in the Appendix.

That foreign bodies in the appendix
are often the initial cause of appen-
dicitis is a long-exploded idea; that
is, so far as bodies of any size are con-
cerned. But DR. Carlo Savini of New
York reports to the Medical Record
that in many cases very minute sharp
foreign bodies are found in that
organ and, in some cases at least
were probably the cause of the initial
lesion. Doctor Savini has recovered
from appendices microscopic particles
which prove on chemical analysis to
be slivers of coal containing a small
quantity of iron. sometimes with very
sharp cutting edge
