Appendicitis Is An Old Disease
That Still Causes Much Trouble
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
Appendicitis has been giv
ing man a pain in the stom
ach for centuries. Many pe
ple think of it as an old
fashioned disease. True, it
is an old disease, but it is
one that still occurs with
distressing frequency. Just
because it is an old, familiar
disease, it should not be
taken casually.
The appendix is a little
worm-shaped organ about
three inches long and about
one-fourth of an inch in
diameter. The word appen
dicitis comes from the Latin
“appendere,” meaning “hang
too," and the Greek suffix,
“itis,” meaning inflamma
tion. The appendix “hangs
to” the first section of the
large intestine. It is usually
located in the right side of
the abdomen, but it has been
found in many locations
within the abdominal cavity.
This complicates the diag
nosis of appendicitis.
When the opening of the
appendix into the large in
testine is blocked for some
reason, the many bacteria
present in the intestinal tract
tend to increase and cause
severe inflammation. The
appendix wall becomes
swollen and red. If the in
flammation progresses long
enough, the appendix may
rupture, spilling its contents
into the surrounding abdomi
nal area.
During the early stages of
appendicitis, the patient of
ten has few symptoms. The
first symptom is usually a
vague pain in the upper
part of the abdomen, fre
quently about the navel. The
pain eventually becomes
steady and often shifts down
Sanders Swears
In New Georgia
School Council
ATLANTA (GPS) — Gov.
Carl E. Sanders has sworn
in members of the newly
created Georgia Education
Improvement Council, a
body whose objective is to
set long-range educational
policies for the state.
The Governor pointed out
the creation of the council
by the 1964 Legislature was
the No. 1 recommendation of
the Governor’s Commission
to Improve Education. Said
he:
“This is a new approach in
the education spectrum.
They (the commission)
simply recognized that in the
past Georgia had primarily
planned from administration
to administration. There was
no real long-range coopera
tive planning between the
Board of Regents, the De
partment of Education and
the Legislature.”
Gov. Sanders said that if
the General Assembly had
not enacted the education
improvement program which
the commission recommend
ed “Georgia would have
been left in the dust. Now
we are leaving other people
in the dust. We have to keep
running as fast as we can.
Now we’re ahead and we
want to stay ahead.”
Joseph A. Whittle, Bruns
wick attorney, was elected
chairman at the council’s or
ganizational meeting. The
12-member council will have
a budget of $50,000 and ex
pects to name a full-time
director at an early date.
Southern RR Says
New Freight Rate
Aids So. Cotton
Reduced freight rates re
cently put in effect by
Southern Railway for move
ments of baled cotton over
its lines can save shippers as
much as 33 per cent under
previous carload rates.
The railway’s president, D.
W. Brosnan, said “the re
duction in rates on this com
modity vital in the economy
of the South is intended to
further extend Southern’s
usefulness by sharing with
customers and potential
customers the economies we
are making through techno
logical progress and equip
ment design in cutting our
costs of rendering service.
Such rate reductions help
our customers remain com
petitive in their business
fields and to profitably ex
pand their operations. They
also aid Southern’s efforts to
recapture traffic lost to pri
vate and unregulated forms
of carriage. Increases in our
volume of traffic spread the
cost of our plant and in
crease Southern’s ability to
render lower-priced ser
vices.”
Principal interest in the
new rates which became ef
fective on July 1 will lie in
the states of Alabama, Geor
gia, and North and South
Carolina, major states in
both cotton growing and
textile products manufactur
ing-
to the right side of the ab
domen. The patient usually
has a mild fever and appears
ill.
Almost always, a test of
the patient’s blood shows a
marked increase in the num
ber of white blood cells. This
indicates the body is at
tempting to fight infection.
Surgery is the best treat
ment for most patients with
appendicitis. The diseased
appendix is removed. Some
times, however, it is best not
to remove the appendix. If
it has ruptured and an ab
scess has formed, pus may
be drained off through a
tube and the appendix may
not be removed.
Not every pain in the ab
domen means appendicitis.
One of the physician’s main
difficulties in diagnosing ap
pendicitis is to distinguish
pain caused by an infected
appendix from pain caused
by a virus infection, upset
stomach or perhaps a swol
len lymph gland in the in
testines. Sometimes it is best
to wait a few hours before
deciding to remove the ap
pendix. Surgery may not be
necessary. If the condition
is something other than ap
pendicitis, the pain may sub
side during the waiting pe
riod.
Appendicitis generally oc
curs between the ages of
five and twenty. It is more
common in male adults than
in female adults. The disease
is very serious, though com
paratively rare, in the very
young and in the very old.
In small children, the disease
is particularly 'difficult to
diagnose because they are
often too young and too
frightened by pain to de
scribe the pain. In the elder
ly, the disease can appear
with little warning and may
prove to be extremely dang
erous. Patients in these two
groups should receive ex
pecially prompt medical at
tention for abdominal pain.
DOC MAG SAYS: Appen
dicitis has plagued mankind
for a very long time. There
are some indication the dis
ease is on the decrease, but
it still occurs and its results
can be most serious. It is
especially serious in the
very young and very old.
Feed accounts for 55 to 70
percent of the cost of pro
ducing livestock and live
stock products.

SWAMI NOMINATED TO
FORECAST WEATHER
A GLOBAL weather satel
lite system that, they main
tain, would give a more ac
curate picture of existing
weather and permit more
precise forecasts, has been
proposed by a team of Stan
ford University engineering
students. The project, ap
propriately called “SWAMI”
(Stanford World wide Ac
quisition of Meteorological
Information), would cost S4O
million annually to operate
but would save the nation
more than $6 billon per year,
according to the team. The
plan calls for orbiting in
strumented satellites 1,200
miles above the earth and
picking up and storing
weather data from thousands
of airborne balloons and
from weather and land sta
tions. On command the satel
lites would “read out” their
store of information to a
single tracking station.

Lincoln-Kennedy Fads
There are many surprising comparisons that can be
drawn between the assassinations of President Lincoln
and of President Kennedy.
1. Both of our nation’s Presidents were most con
cerned with the issue of civil rights.
2. Lincoln was elected in 1860 — Kennedy elected
in 1960.
3. Both were slain on Friday, and in the presence
of their wives.
4. Their successors, both named Johnson, were
Southerners, Democrats, and had previously served in
the United States Senate.
5. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 — Lyndon
Johnson was born in 1908.
6. John-Wilkes Booth was born in 1839 — Lee Harvey
Oswald was born in 1939.
7. Both Booth and Oswald were Southerners, favor
ing unpopular issue.
8. Both the slayers were murdered before a trial
could be arranged.
9. Both President’s wives lost children through
death, while residing in the White House.
10. President Lincoln’s secretary, whose name was
Kennedy, advised him not to go to the theater, AND
President Kennedy’s secretary, whose name was Lincoln,
advised him not to go to Dallas.
