Today the Duke and Duchess OF

But more they want to see the

After all few women since Cleo

that's about all.
They do have some real hopes

an ABSOLUTE impossibility in
the senate's case in 1910, since SEN

Three Fallacies

Three fallacies that remain i'm
bedded in the public mind still
contribute to keeping. the death
rate from appendicitis too high:
The first is the idea that an
acute bellyache is just something
you ate or is indigestion and the
thing to do is TO get rid of it by
taking a cathartic.
The second is that the symptoms
of appendicitis are so plain any
one can recognize them.
The third is that once recog-
nized, appendicitis is easy TO
treat.
The truth is that appendicitis is
one of the most tricky and treach-
erous and irregular of all dis
eases. 1t may appear in nearly
any form of acute abdominal
symptoms. The common mistake
is to suppose that the pain of acute
appendicitis is low down on the
right side, just over where the
appendix is. AS a matter of fact,
the pain Of appendicitis can be
snywhere-high up in the back,
over the kidneys or liver, or
stomach, on the left side, or there
may be no pain at all--only vom-
iting. Last year pointed out that
when Mr.. Dempsey had appendi-
citis, he resisted the diagnosis at
first and said it was just an old
fashioned Dempsey family stom-
ach-ache.
