Our Useless Appendases.

About Twenty-Five years ago when appendi-
citis was the height OF fashion group Of
American surgeons couraecously advocated
universal removal Of the appendix in childhood
as measure OF prevention against that
trcachcr"us and then very fatal disease /
say they we're courageous surgeons. for il
does demand courage for surgeon to lay
himself open to the Jibes OF humorists A
surgeon with just an ordinary practice has to
he careful how much truth he tells. Patients
Will stand for more than a reasonable
amount "f truth from a doctor. II tn" doctor
grows careless and tells IN" whole truth a,
all times nc may as we'll look about FOR some
other means OF livelihood. for his patients will
soon select doctors who exercise better judG
ment.
