Appendicills.
Medical and surgical experts are tak-
- inn extraordinary interest nowadays in
It. a; question as to whether appendicitis
m: be effectively treated in most cases
without recourse to the knife. . A lively
discussion on the subject has been
brongh t about by an article contributed
lie-the November number of the Medi—
‘e-a‘} Times by Dr. M. 0. Terry of Utica.
3N. T. . Surgeon—General of the National
"slung-d of New York. Dr. Terry, in a
gun‘phlet published a short time ago,
adrxmzted the use of cathartics and
535% ct oil in the treatment of the di-
suse. In his article in the Medical
‘l'Encs he defended his treatment, de-
'. ribing it substantially as follows:
:‘lr first cathartic of castor oil and
sweet oil‘followed by hot water are
given. until the bowels are thoroughly
cleaned out. The treatment is follow-
ed by enemas of glycerine and sweet
:oii. Flaxseed poulticcs soaked in
street oil are kept on the abdomen.
"‘l‘lu- diet is restricted to very light,
easily digested foods. The Oil treat-
anent, Dr. Terry said, removed the
Era-Lion Of the inflamed tissues and re—
taxes them during resolution. In this
way, the doctor asserted, he had cured
cases of chronic, recurrent appendicitis.
To prevent a return of the trouble af-
fler the original treatment, he prc-
scribed a tablespoonful of sweet oil,
.ioilowed by a glass Of hot water, before
Six-I'll meal for several weeks.
Dr. Terry maintained that in 'this
manner he had successfully treated,
without the use of the knife, forty-nine
on; of fifty-one cases which had come
under his supervision. ‘
"I’Iie doctor’s pamphlet and article
.;s.tirred' up those surgeons who favor op-
erating for the cure of the disease.
Among them was Dr. Robert P. Mor-
«sis of New York city, a son of the late
cit-Gov. Luzon B. Morris of this State.
.Dr. Morris, who is recognized to be a
high authority upon appendicitis, is an
ardent advocate of the use of the knife,
1:25.11 be promptly challenged Dr. Terry’s
.smzement and offered to stake $1,000
{that there were not fort-yynine recover-
iies. ‘
in its January number, the Medical
Times prints _.Dr_. Morris’ challenge
Tamil Dr Terry’s reply.
Dr- Morris admittedthat Dr. Terry‘s
:--‘«Ine£3ical treatment was the most excel-
Heat he had ever seen described, but
went on to say:
‘. “But very busy men sometimes find it
difficult to keep track of all their
eases- When a physician of Dr. Terry’s
prominence states that forty-nine out
.9? fifty-one cases of appendicitis have
been cured by'medical treatmentfi‘I
wane that some of the men upon whom
finches depended for subsequent his?

Baillerry will personally Obtain a re-
spmth-Om each one of the forty-nine
fluted. patients. I will give $1,000 on
she first day of June, 1898, to any hos-
plan! that Dr. Terry will name, if he
finds that none of these patients have
died of appendicitis or its complica-
siazhs. or have subjected themselves to
spar-rations for appendicitis. Dr. Terry,
ms. she other hand, to give $1,000 to the
library of the New York Academy of
Medicine on June 1, 1898, if he finds
’3.th some of these forty-nine patients
have died of appendicitis or its compli-
aations, or have subjected themselves
”so operation for appendicitis.
'“I have no knowledge whatever,” he,
continued, “of any one of the forty-nine
eases, but I have made a careful stud y_
1% the subject of appendicitis, and from
the findings in the analysis of 100 con-
secutive operations of my own, report-
or. in the second edition of my lectures
in: appendicitis, there is evidence that
mare than 25 per cent. of all appendi-
citis patients eventually die ‘under
medical treatment. I do not doubt
that under the excellent medical treat-U
' went advocated by Dr. Terry it is pos-
sible to cause subsidence of the acute
symptoms in forty-nine consecutive
single attacks of appendicitis, but that
flea very differentomatter from curing
inlay-nine cases. Under the best sort
pi medical treatment appendicitis pa-
aipnts spend more time. in‘ bed, suffer
more, and die oftener than they do un-
~‘ , -E£‘:l' the best sort of surgical treatment.”
Dr. Terry ueclined to accept the
twailenge, but again defended the
Treatment, adding: '

The disease has become so prevalent .Of

After every one exhausts their sur-
mises regarding the cause of the evi-

A HARVEST OF HUMAN HAIR;
12,000 Pounds Used Yearly—A Regular
Market Day (or 1.1: In the Pyrenees.
Perhaps there is no staple article of
commerce about which less is known
by the average person than human
hair. It. will doubtless surprise many
to learn that the dealers in human hair
.do not depend on chance clippings here
and there, but there is a regular hair
harvest that can always 'berelied up-
on. It is estimated that over 12,000
pounds of human hair are used annu-
ally in the civilized world for adorning
the heads of men and women, but prin-
cipally the fair sex.
The largest supply of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
French provinces. There is a human
hair market in the department of the
lower Pyrenees, held every Friday.
Hundreds Of‘halr traders walk up and
downth'e one street of the village,
their shears dangling from their belts,
and inspect the braids which the pea-
sant girls, standing on the steps of the
houses, let .down for inspection. If a
bargain is struck the hair is cut and
the money paid on the spot.
Dealers in human hair can tellin a
moment-whether the locks offered
them have been cut off ‘or combed out.
They do this by rubbing the hairs
through their fingers. If the hair has
been cut from the head and has not
been misplaced, it remains in its orig-
inal position. If it has been pulled or
combed out and put together regard-
less of the direction in which it grew,
One portion of it will slip to the right
and the other to the left. It does this

’ How TO FIND ou1'.
Fill a bottle or common glass with -
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a‘ sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To In).
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate.
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
