Pain and AppendicitIs,

That pain at what DOCTORS call "Mc
Burney's point" is not, as generally
believed. proof of appendicitis was
demonstrated before a Texan medica
society recently by DR.. p. L Nixon OF
San Antonio in an address published
in the Medical Record
Dr.. Nixon told he history of severa
cases ILL which operation proved the
diagnosis of appendicitis to have been
erroneous and of one in which an ex
ploratory operation proved appended
tbs to be the trouble when there was
no pain over McBurneys point. This
is situated low down on the right side
of the abdomen.
1t takes combination of several diff
ferent symptoms together to warrant a
certain diagnosis of appendicitis.

what transpires there we can only
guess at. One thing is certain-the

treasury.
The location of this secret city, which
bears the name Of Jof, can be found on

can tell you how the road to it runs.

there or at least has ever returned
