No Home Remedy
For Appendicitis

There is no home remedy for
appendicitis. If everyone would
learn that sentence by heart there
would be few, if any, deaths from
this disease. The danger of the use
OF home treatment or patent medi-
cines in any case of acute stomach
ache cannot be overemphasized.
The appendix is sausage
shaped organ about four inches
long located on the right side of the
lower abdomen and attached to the
beginning of the large intestine. 1t
is probably of no use to civilized
man, but can cause him great pain
If it becomes infected. Infection
may result when the appendix is
blocked by collection of matter
from the intestine, or it may come
from any infection in the body,
}. such as one of the nose or throat.
The pain of appendicitis is not
always first noticed in the area
where the appendix is located and
consequently the patient is apt to
mistake it for an ordinary stom-
achache. In any case where sudden
pain in the abdomen is accompa-
MED by moderate fever, nausea and
A.
tenderness in the appendix region,
appendicitis should be suspected.
The doctor should be called at once.
Until the doctor comes, the pa
tent should be put to bed and made
to lie quietly. Never rub the stom-
ach or apply hot water bottles. The
patient should G,e given nothing to
eat or drink, not even water, and
no medicine of any kind. Above all
he. should not be given a laxative.
Any medication adds greatly TO the
danger Of death.
: If the doctor finds from his ex-
animation that the case is one of
acute appendicitis, he will usually
advise an operation to remove the
appendix Immediately. Any delay
may result in perforation or gan
CREME of the appendix and cause
peritonitis which may be fatal.
With early diagnosis and immedi.
ate operation. the outlook is ex-
cellent. There is no reason to be
alarmed about an appendectomy,
as 1t is one of the most commonly
performed operations and, if done
in time, is usually successful.
In the next article, how the fam
iiy can help the TB patient will be
discussed.

Laurel Opens
Maryland's Fall
Racing Season

Maryland's fall racing season
got under way at Laurel Race
Course yesterday and for the SO
racing days = rs here and Is i'm
mediately following at Pimlico -
patrons of the sport are being
treated to the best possible brand
of thoroughbred competition.
Laurel this season is operating
for the first time under the same
management policies that have
guided Pimlico in other years, the
local course having been purchased
by the Maryland Jockey Club.
That the new owners want to
provide the very peak in racing
entertainment at Laurel has been
indicated ever since they assumed
control. A quarter of a million
dollars has been spent during the
summer months to make extensive
changes and improvements in
LaurePs stable area, its parking
lots and its general appearance, to
say nothing of extensive work on
the race track itself.
A dozen stakes events grace the
programs during the 25-day meet
ing, five of these having had their
increased. STAKES Of
ferings total 100000 and daily
purse distribution is around $780,
900 daily, the highest in the long
history of the track.
