DR.. Evan Kane, OF Kane, Pa, the
surgeon who last summer cut out his
own appendix without Hrst taking an
anesthetic. has suggested to the Elk
Oounty Medical Society that law
should be passed by the rext State leg
islsture compelling every child to hive
its appendix cut out. Properly per-
formed and with the right hospital care
afterward, he said, the number Of
deaths from such operations would be
few. He contended that many human
ills were directly traceable to diseased
appendix. Chronic invalidism from
rheumatism, dyspepsia and other ILL
nesses are results OF chronic ap-
pendicitis, he said.
