Doctors Assemble in
Conference.

tention in cases of tonsilitiS and APP
pendicitis, two ills which respond read
lily to proper treatment and are sources
of additional complications. was stressed
today before the Medical Society of
Virginia, Maryland and the District,
meeting at the Mayfower Hotel Lead
Semi-annual conference.
Although there appeared TO be some
difference of opinion between leading
specialists attending the meeting as to
the importance of infected tonSils re-
garding certain ailments, information
was furnished to show that in prac-
tically all cases where tonsils are held
at fault for a physical ailment that a
normal condition is restored upon re-
moval Of the tonsils.
DR.. Bailey Gives Paper.
Today's discussion began after paper
had been delivered by DR.. o. w. Bailey
of Aide, Va, on the subject Of optic
Neuritis; the Tonsil as a Factor" De-
claring. in effect, that the tonsil in the
past have rarely been mentioned as a

found to be the cause Of neuritis
DR.. George e. Tribe. specialist of this
city, in StTessing the importance of a
thorough examination Of the tonsils
where a patient suffers from optic nell
ritis, said, in effect, that the tonslls
have been blamed for sciatica and vari-
Gus other ailments, but that too little
attention has been given them in re-
spect to the optic nerve.
Poole Differs With Each.
DR.. T. A. Poole, another washington
specialist, differed somewhat with both
DR.. Bailey and DR.. Tribble, being in
clined to consider infected tonsils only
after various other things have been
taken into consideration in dealing with
optic neuritis.
Some alarm was expressed over IAN
increased rate of mortality in Appendix

Moore of Alexandria, Va, who spoke on
Treatment of Neglected Cases of Ap-
pendicitis." Twenty-Five thousand peo-
pie died from appendicitis and resulting
complications last year, DR.. Moore as
serted. He stressed the urgent need of
quick attention to any symptom which
would probably be indicative of the dis
ease.
The necessity for appendicitis cases
being taken in time also was empha-
sized by DR.. George Tully Vaughan,
Washington physician. DR.. Vaughan
termed any case not taken care of
within "a hours neglected" DIR.

There are five or elk shops in and near Times

added, including a special pair Of trees, made the
