The Vermiform Appendix and Its
Probable Function.
PROBLEM OF APFEMDICITIS.
The Causes of the Disease and the
Methods of Fighting It—The Way
the Operation of Removal Is Per
formed—Disease as Old as Mankind.
Appendicitis is not a disenso of mod
ern times, though its nature and meth
ods of treatment are the result of
careful observation by one of our well
known modern surgeons while engaged
in postmortem work.
It may be safe to say that appendi
citis is as old as mankind, for In
studying very old histories wherein
are given the diagnoses of the physi
cians we read of cases of inflamma
tion of tile bowels. Intestinal disorders
and like ailments the symptoms of
which prove that they must have been
appendicitis.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the
vermiform appendix, a small blind
tube, averaging two and a half Inches
in length and a quarter of an inch in
diameter, attached to the coecum at
ils inner and posterior part, it is
made of a very sensitive mucous mem
brane containing several glands.
The appendix is port of the digestive
tract, its function. It is believed, being
to lubricate that part of the Intestines,
though as yet there Is no absolute
proof of tills. Careful study of a child
from whom the colon lias been re
moved until he readies the age of
manhood has revealed no irregulari
ties of any nature.
The causes of tills disease may lie
grouped under four heads—stenosis,
which means closing up: impaction,
the entrance of foreign bodies, net nec
essarily seeds: exposure and Injury
Ill fighting this disease nature lakes
three methods of disposing of the toxic
materials—'discharging them Into the
peritoneal cavity, sending them into
the bowels and discharging them
through an external wound. In the
first, if the discharge lie not too rap'l-d
while the peritoneum is taking Ibeyi
up, nature again makes an effort to
ward utT the threatened danger
walling the poisonous matters i:-,.. etnas
localizing them and so aiding the phy
sician or surgeon In his work. If.
however, the discharge he Kvddert. ns
Is the ease when the mass bursts, nine
whole of the peritoneum liecoir.es in
volved, which is called septic perito
nitis, and this is generally fatal.
After tiie diagnosis inis revealed the
disease the doctor decides whether the
case Ik* -one for medicine or external
treatment or for separation. In the
latter case tlie greatest of care is ,de
tnanded, as sometimes an immediate
operation is necessary, while at oilier
times it must he delayed, often for
hours, until the condition of the pa
dent lias been brought to that point'.at
which the surgeon can feci it Is sale* to
go ahead.
The operation determined upon, the
most careful arrangements to secure
perfect antisepsis are made, ant! tin-
patient 1r placed in a full stale of an
aestbesia.
The operating surgeon then draws
an Imaginary line from the navel i
the anterior superior spine of tin* right
hip hone, dividing that line into three
parts. Under the inner side of the
middle third tin* appendix in normal
eases will Ik* found, though in rare
cases it has been found on the left side
DAMASCUS.
An Isolated Oasis In the Midst of a
Vast Desert.
The situation of Uamascus Is re
markable—she stands Isolated on an
oHsis of tlte vast desert which every
where items her in. Volt may see from
Damascus the sunset touch with pur
ple the low western hills twenty-live
miles away. Those hills mark the be
ginning of tile great desert, beyond
them there is nothing but a rolling
waste and the long roads to Palmyra
and Bagdad. Tlte permanence and
prosperity of Damascus are due to tlte
presence of two rivers, which have
converted tills spot of the dreary, des
olate and uninhabited desert into a
smiling and well watered plain. The
Pharpnr approaches only within seven
miles of Damascus, tint by means of
canals ami aqueducts sends its life
giving waters to tlie gardens of tlie
city. Tlte Altana is the stream from
which the city's main supply of water
Is obtained. Minerva like, it springs
full horn from the base of a perpen
dicular rock at Ain Fiji it, in tin* heart
of the Antl-I.ebanons, and runs a
course of ten miles in a gorge, a large
river twenty to thirty feet wide and
four feet deep, Ils waters always fresh
and ice cold, casting out branches ev
erywhere. permeating every nook and
corner of tin* city, until, as one lias
said, "literally there is scarce a street,
bazaar, khan, courtyard or dwelling
house which lias not ils marble or
stone fountain constantly tilled with
running water supplied directly by the
Altana itself." Thus the Altana, not
fruitlessly wasting her waters on that
thirsty land, saves them in her nar
row* gorge till sin* can fling them well
out on the desert and expends all her
life at once In the creation of a single
city.—Biblical World.
CHANGED HiS MIND.
Influence of a Game of Golf Upon a
Man’s Life.
A New York pastor received u call
In his study one morning not long ago
front a man with whom he had a
pleasant blit not Intimate acquaint
ance. And tlte visitor told him with
out much ado that he had called on a
peculiar errand.
“Some time ago.” he said, “as you
know, 1 lost my wife. I have no chil
dren. 1 have no kinsfolk, and I am
very lonely in tin* world. Last week,
by an unlucky speculation. I lost my
whole fortune. I am therefore without
companionship, without occupation,
without money. I am too old to starl
again, and I have no joy in life as it
is. I have deliberately decided, there
fore, to commit suicide. And I called to
tell you of my purpose and to ask the
favor of you that when my body Is
found you will make such an explana
tion ns your good Judgment and kind
ly feeling toward me may suggest. I
have come simply to jvslf tills favor
and not to argue the question, which I
have settled for myself. If you do me
1his last service 1 shall in* very grate
ful."
The preacher said little and was far
too wise to undertake to dissuade him,
but he permitted the man to say all
that lie had to say without interrup
tion.
Then as he was going away the
preacher called to him anu said:
"1 have not seen you on the golf
links for' some time. You use to en
joy the game.”
“Yes,” said the other.
"Well, go out and play one more
game* today before you <arry *;:;t yon:

Malaria is due to impurities and poisons itt tile blood. Instead of beittjr
lieli, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. Tlte loss of these
red corpuscles takes tlte color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general svstemic disease, and as
tlte blood becomes more heavily loaded witlA its germs we have more serious
and complicated symptoms ; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
of the body. I he appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
fever ate frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and "no account " feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave bis health permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary,
in order to remove the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is the medicine
best fitted for this work. It is the
most perfect of all blood purifiers, and
the purely vegetable ingredients of
which it is composed make it the
greatest and safest of all tonics.
S. S S. goes down into the circulat ion and removes every trace of impurity
or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual
ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it
removes the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing
this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When ,S. S. S. has
cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to
the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and tlte entire health
is renewed. Book with information about Malaria and anv medical advice

During 1900 t was running n farm on
the Mississippi river and became so impreg
nated with Malaria that for a year I was
almost a physical wreck. I tried a number
of medicines recommended as blood purifi
ers, chill cures, and Malaria eradicators,
but nothing did me any good until 1 began
to use S. S. S. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was as well and
strong ns I ever was. I have never had a
chill since nor the slightest symptom of
Malaria. I hope others will be benefited
by my experience, and with that end in
view I give this testimonial, knowing that
S. S. S. is tire tiest remedy for Malaria.

Having satisfied himself of tlie exact
spot under which it will be found, an
incision from two to five Inches long
is made in the skin. (Some of the best
surgeons pride themselves on tin*
smallness of their incisions in this op
eration.) Tin.* fatty tissues arc then
cut through, the small blood vessels
are secured, and then the muscular
walls of the abdomen are separated,
bringing into view the peritoneum.
This is a serous secretive lining com
posed of two layers. On cutting
through this the edges of both layers
are clumped so ns to enable the sur
geon to reunite them when the opera
tion shall have been completed.
The intestines are now visible, and
the affected section Is very tenderly
drawn through the opening, where till'
nature and extent of the Infection are
made known. Ilot towels moistened
with salt water are kept applied to the
intestine while it is exposed. The
word “tenderly" characterizes the
whole of this operation, as the surgeon
must be more than careful to prevent
any rupture of the appendix, for should
tills happen while he Is operating the
pus would be quickly taken up by the
peritoneum and other mucous mem
branes, and tlte resulting complications
would make the outcome very uncer
tain.
The mesentery, n large vessel adjoin
ing tin* appendix. Is next ligated, and
then tlie colon Is tied off. after which
the diseased organ Is cut away. The
stump is pushed back into the intes
tine and the ligature is tightly drawn,
this to prevent the forming of a pouch.
The removal safely accomplished,
the intestine is replaced, the edges of
the peritoneum are carefully approxi
mated and the muscular walls, fatty
tissue and skin are brought together
by subcutaneous and cutaneous su
tures.
In the majority of cases, no com
plications ensuing, the patient is ready
for discharge in two weeks.—James M.
Smyth, M. D., in New York World.
