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: purpose." Tim man smiled for the first time and went the g'If course a.id ho is living yet.-World’s Yfiork, MAI 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.

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. Amory, Miss. S. R. COWLEY. J |. T .

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.
