Is Appendicitis a Hoax
or a New Disease?
It lias not been many years ago when
the word appendicitis was unknown, nor
was any sncli disease described by medi
cal writers.
For hundreds of years anatomists had
been exploring the human body and had
not failed to find and describe the ap
pbndix. but neither anatomist nor phy
siologist had ever declared tts funo
tion.
Hundreds and thousands of human
bodies had been dissected in medical
colleges, and thousands upon thou
sands of post mortem laparotomies had
been made by physicians and surgeons.
Yet, strange to say, not one case of
death from ulcerated or bursted
appendix, had ever been detected and
mentioned by any author whose writ
ings were known prior to the outbreak
of the present prevailing "epidemic''
hoax or fad. now so popular and re
munerative to surgeons. Nor have
we any records until within the most
recent years, of attempts of surgeons
to cute every kind of belly ache, by
extirpating that poor little function
less. unoffending pendulous membrane,
w hich is now so widely exploited by the
Barnum like exploiters of that little,
ibscure pedicle, the vermiform appendix,
and who find in its extirpation a source
of much revenue.
Now isn't it strange, if the appendix
Is truly the source of so much mallgn
unt danger as appears, by the necessity
of so many thousands of operations
nowadays, that all the anatomists,
physiologists, demonstrators. prosec
tors and students in their researches
failed toi hundreds of years to dis
cover and make mention of the fact?
But there must, of course, be some
foundation and cause, besides that of
money getting, for the prevailing fad
of our modern surgeons.
Now we do not deny that it Is pos
sible lor the appendix to become dts
Cased and require treatment and In ex
tremely rare casts that It might need
extirpation. In fact, there is in tills
city a very Intelligent, honest and sin
cere physician, who says iie has seen
. rive hundred appendicitis operations
and believes that two of them were
actually necessary. Maybe he is cur
led in his conclusion, but everybody
knows or could know by Investigation,
mat Hie thousands of such operations
being none and me hundreds of lives
belli* annually sacrificed thereby, that
me remedy Is far mure dangerous and
latai than the disease.
1th these facts and with many
more that we can produce, wo cheer
fully Invite every man or woman who
may be advised by a doctor to sub
mit to ail operation for appendicitis,
diseased ovaries, or hernia, to come
and consult us, be examined and ob
tain our honest opinion free of charge.
We cure hundreds of such cases with
out use of the knife.

Says He Looks on Prob
lem as He Did on
Prohibition
Montgomery, July 19.—(Special.)
That he does not desire to emulate
the example of former Gov. Cole Blease
of South Carolina in the exercise of
the pardoning power, and that he does
not propose to Indulge in threats of
any description, were statements made
by Governor Henderson today when he
was asked concerning a press report
that he had announced that he might
pardon all the convicts of the state
tather than permit the passage of the
proposed prison commission hill.
“You will find that no threats of
r.ny kind will ever come from this of
fice." the governor said to correspond
ents.
The governor discussed freely many
of the political questions of the day.
“I look upon the convict situation in
Alabama Just as I do upon the liquor
problem.” he said In discussing the
proposition to put convicts on the road
as recommended by the investigating
committee in the prison commission
bill. “I believe in adopting the best
method. I have yet to find the state
has solved the convict question satis
factorily In all details, and as far as
Alabama Is concerned I believe that
we should study the question thor
oughly before making radical changes.
Convict conditions In this state have
been constantly improving for 20 years
and 1 think they will continue to im
prove.”
The governor Indicated that he is
opposed to working convicts on the
roads heenuse, he declared, roads built
by free labor a.re cheaper than roads
constructed by convict labor.
Enemies to State
Regarding the fight of certain mem
bers of the legislature against the
administration, Governor Henderson
said that those members who cast their
votes for or against measures solely
for the reason of embarrassing his ad
ministration are “enemies to the state."
“1 find that 1 can get along vtry
well with those members who are here
for the sole purpose of serving their
state and their constituents." said the
governor. “Hut I consider those mem
bers as enemies to their state who la
bor to make the administration a fail
ure."
The governor Indicated that he is
dealing principally with the rank and
file of the legislature rather than with
the leaders. "I believe in treating with
all alike," he said. "When leaders take
hold of things they generally take
hold of everything and, in the present
case, the governor would become a
mere figurehead.”
The governor declared that he Is not
worrying over the situation and ex
pressed confidence that the best good
will yet be attained.

ASIATIC NATIONS’
CONFERENCE HELD
San Francisco, July 19.—A congress
of Pacific ocean nations to make that ,
sea the route of peaceful merchant- ^
men rather than belligerent warships,
was proposed today to the joint ses
sion of the Asiatic institute and the
American Historical association, hy Dr.
Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard. The joint convention held
at the Panama-Pacific exposition
adopted the plan and Instructed the
Asiatic institute to take Htops toward
Its culmination.
The basis for the suggested congress
was read from views submitted by Dr.
Eliot, who also ventured a prophecy
on the duration of the war. Ho said:
“The success of any such congress
would depend on general acceptance of
a few principles of universal applica
tion, such as:
“1. Strong, natural, national units,
independent and free from agression
from without.
"2. The policy of the ‘open door.'
“9. No domination on land and sea
by any single power.
“4. A league of Pacific powers to
secure peace and the freedom of thi*
ocean."
Dr. Eliot suggested Honolulu as th«
place and the early summer of 1916 !
as the time for holding the congress,
for, he said, “the results of ihe Euro
pean war on international relations
and on trade between the Occident and
! orient by thia time will have become
manifest."
Chancellor David Starr Jordan of
Leland Stanford. Jr., university said
that leading soldiers of Germany, Ad
miral Von Tlrpitz and those associated
with him were responsible for the
war.

Grand Circuit Races at
Cleveland Have Fast
Opening
Cleveland. July 19.—Three favorites
were returned winners, one outsider
threw a panic into the talent, the fast
est opening heat in the history of the
Grand Circuit was trotted, and a 2
year-old trotting track record of 2:13%
was established today in the opening
at North Randall of the first 1915
Grand Circuit meet .
The Edwards stake of 2:10 pacers
produced the sensation of the day when
Russell Roy, an outsider, captured the
honors in four heats. Incidentally ht
i went the fastest mile ever made in the
stake when he went the second hea't in
2:03%. He barely escaped the flag in
[the first heat.
The greatest interest of the day, out
side of the Edwards stake, centers in
the action of the two Pastime trotters.
Lee Axworthy and Volga, favorites
respectively in the 2:08 trot and the 2
year-old trotting sweepstakes. Both
were straight heat winners.
Lee Axworthy proved more than a
little lame when the horses were called
for the 2:08 trot, but his owners de
cided to start him, and he rewarded
them by trotting a beautiful race, out
classing a great field and trotting the
fastest opening heat in the history of
the circuit when he negotiated the big
ring in 2:05%. This heat also estab
lished a new season's race record.

MUNITION WORKERS
AT BRIDGEPORT WILL
WALK OUT TODAY,
SAY LABOR LEADERS
(Continued from Pnare One)
called a conference of officers of the In
ternational Association of Machinists to
meet with him in Washington to consider
the strike ordered at the Remington Arms
and Ammunition company’s plant at
Bridgeport, Conn.
Tn calling the conference, Mr. Gompers
said it was his purpose to use every re
source at his -command to prevent a gen
eral strike.
“We will do everything possible to pre
vent the strike from spreading to the
various unions of the workers at the Rem
ington factory, which would bring its
machinery to a standstill,” he said.
Mr. Gompers reiterated the charge that
foreign interests had sought to bring
about labor troubles in the United States
to check the exportation of war sup-J
plies to Europe.
Labor department officials declared to-'
night they believed an agreement would;
be reached in time to avert a general j
Htrike. Secretary Wilson said, however,
that In the event the workers did walk
out in force, he Immediately would ap- j
point conciliators in an attempt to bring
about a peaceful settlement.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
BILLAPPROVED
Provides for $350,000 for
Public Schools of
State
Montgomery. July 19.—(Special.)—The
senate committee on education today
reached a favorable report on the bill
appropriating $350,000 annually for the
public schools of the state. The legis
lature of 1911 fixed the annual appropria
tion at $500,000, $150,000 of which waa con
tingent on the approval of the governor.
None of the contingent appropriation was
available, however, during the previous
administration.
The committee on education decided to
make an adverse report on the GrrlfTIn
“blue back speller" bill, which passed
the house at the last session.
Among other committees meeting to
day was that of tile senate committee
on finance and taxation, which spent
the greater part of the day in the con
sideration of a large number of meas
ures carried over from last session. Up
wards of 30-odd bills were adversed by
this committee.
The Denson bill, providing for military
training in the county high schools of
the state, was under consideration, but
no decision was reached, owing to the
fact that the measure provides an ap
propriation to the various schools for
the purchase of ammunition. With this
provision eliminated, It is probable that
the committee will reach a favorable
report on the bill.

final limitation on the membership of the
committee. In his letter to the presidents,
the secretary wrote:
“We are anxious to begin as soon as
possible, and if your society can furnish j
me the names at an early date it will help |
the prompt organization of the advisory I
board very much. In adopting this course
I have the emphatic approval of Mr. Edi
son and he agrees entirely with me that i
your society should be represented In this
way. and no better method of getting the
kind of men could be devised.”
