ACUTE APPENDICITIS.
It Is Dangerous Only When There 10
Delay In Operating.

Delay In Operating.
"Acute appendicitis calls for immedi-
ate surgery" says Dr Wesley Grove
Vincent, instructor in surgery ut the
New York POSTGRADUATE Medical School
and Hospital Dr Vincent insisted that
there WAS no medical treatment for
acute appendicitis and that the mortal
lty following operation was always due
to delay. the surgeon being called in
when too late
The percentage of mortality in op'
erations for acute appendicitis under
taken in the early stages of the infiam
nation is shown by hospital statistics
TO be very low. 1t is practically nil
''' The mortality in medically treat
ed cases that are allowed to go ON
TO gangrene and rupture with general
peritonitis is practically 100 per cent
while late surgery in such cases saves
comparatively few
Appendicitis is common among chill
dren between five aud fifteen years OF
age. There is no particular food that
can be singled out as especially liable
to cause it unless possibly fruits hav-
ing small pits or seeds. Delay is more
dangerous in children than in adults.
The symptoms described by DIR. D. Il.
Murphy come in definite order ut ap'
proNimately regular Intervals. They
are; First. pain Ia the abdomen. SUD
! den and severe; second, nausea ana
vomiting within few hours, most
commonly within three or four hours
after the onset of pain; third, general
abdominal seusit,vvueSS. most marked
on the right side ng more particularly
over the appendix; fourth, rise OF
temperature two TO twenty-four hours
after onset of pain. New York World.
