REGULATING APPENDECTOMY

That the newspaper has lost much
of its old influence as an educator
is often claimed and to a great extent
is true. Notwithstanding the fact
its influence is apparently unabated
when it caters to popular prejudice
Prejudice founded upon ignorance
and superstition has governed since
Egypt first became the cradle OF civ
ilizaton. In the days of the Ptolo-
mics, antagonism against medical SCI
ence was so strong that dissection OF
the dead body was punished with
death. Despite prejudice and igno-
rance, in its determined pursuit OF
disease, medicine hes accomplished
more to ameliorate human suffering
than any other branch OF science.
The freak bill introduced in the South
Dakota legislature to regulate opera
tons for appendicitis. is receiving al
together too much notoriety from the
newspapers. As a sample, the fol
lowing is clipped from an editorial
recently appearing in one OF the prom
inent papers OF the State:
South Dakota is getting after sur
geons who have an undue tondness
for operating A bill introduced IN
the state legislature provides that ali
vermiform appendices removed must
be sent to the State Laboratory tof
examination. Ii is further provided
that the Patient neeG not pay the bill
in case his appendix is found not to
have been diseased.
"A good many appe-dixless clti-
zens will syrlpathize with the honest
intentions of the South Dakota law
makers, Anybody who has his ap-
pendix removed, at the earnest solici.
tation OF d carving specialist, is likely
TO have a natural curiosity rs to
whether it was really necessary. Ii
would at least help to console the
patient if he learned that the organ
he'd lost wsn't worth keeping. And
the same reasoning may hold true OF
numerous other forms of operation
that have come into vogue in recent
years"
While the editorial referred to cred
its the profession with its great work
for humanity, yet tie effect OF the ar
ticle is to encourage the prejudice
that exists generally against operative
surgery.
Were it not for the progress OF sur,
gerry and the efficiency of the medlca
corps of the different nations at wa
the loss of life from wounds and dis
ease would be many times greater
than it now is.
Until within the last quarter OF :;
century, or slightly more, appendicitis
was popularity known as inflammation
Of the bowels. The percentage o
mortality from this affection was
least Is. While the percentage
mortality in cases not operated upoi
has been reduced, the death rate II
operative cases has been reduced t.
] per cent.
The discovery of vaccine and anti
toxine has reduced the death rat
from small pox and d;pntheria IN Tx
proportion. The men who know nov
to use these safeguards of life under

LONDON. May l6.-Not long ago
there slipped unobtrusivcly into the
British cabinet an untried ministry Of
food. A British woman reading a news
paper, noted the fact, raised her eye
brows and then became cngrosSed IN
other things She was not troubling
herself about minsteries OF food, but
there was a big war on hand
A Vital Question Now.
Today the ministry OF food ranks in
importance with the admiralty, war de
partment and the ministry OF munitions
In the conduct of the war, Britain now
anxiously reads the doingS and sayings
from the ministry OF food, along with
the news OF the army and OF the navy,
for she has come to the realization that
her stocks OF food are low, that the sub
marine menace 10 her shipping is very
real and that the question of the dura-
tion OF the world conflict and possibly
even the outcome are intcrlocked with
the food problem She depends upon
the ministry OF food to do much toward
solving this problem
Thus far Lord Deyonport's cdctS
