rive yearn ago my attention was
first S or lonhly directed to appendicitis
by' the apparently great Inorea" (.4
Ito prevalence within the last decade.
I began an invent:Igo:1Am of the Nub -
Joel; and wire:surprised et the meagre
knowledge to bo ramrod from respon-
Otto authority. I became deeply in-
tercel:est and- determined to pureuo
the Maly of tL1)p0fl(1tO1tb on iny own
renourees, proceeding quietly and
taking ample timo for obaervation
and exemiment.
Early xn my atudiee I discovered
that the diecarre IVOS largely duo to
the operatIono of a Inicrobe In the
intestines of the sufferer.
Iabeginning my inventigations re-
garding appenaleitio 1 was able to
demonotrate conclusively that tide
decease is ono of the late sequelae
or grip, or epidemic influenza,. .
contencl that an a result of a
prevloue grip infection, even though
slight, there remains a latent dis-
ordered condition or the so-called
"oelitary follicles" of the intestines.
lia,Ve Ratisfled myself that these
"folliclea," which aro minute lym-
phatic; structures, bay° a double
function. They aro both Nes:eatery
and exoretory.
Any disturbance of the equilibrium
of their action, as is tiono by grip,
induces a change in the chemical
composition of their secretion, re -
fruiting in certain fermentative and
putrefactive changes In the intes-
tinal contents. By microecopicel ex-
aminatione of tho excretion of these
glands and the contents of the in-
testine I have found a germ, or
more properly, a bacillus% which I
'lava failed to find described by pa-
thologists and bacteriolegIsts.
In the contents of appendices af-
flicted with a catarrhal inflamma-
tion, I have also found this bacillus
In abundance, but in appendices con-
taining pus this bacillus seems to
have been destroyed by the action
of the pus formers, the streptocoeci
and staphlotocel.
This novr bacillus is slightly smal-
ler than the "bacillus cell own-
munis," is of an elliptoid form, mul-
tinuclear, and some appear to pos-
sess flagellated extremities, while
others seem' to be devoid of thls Itp-
penclo,gte. It is of a flattened ap-
pearance, and in a specimen stain-
ed with methylen'e blue this bacillus
does not take the etain, but ap-
pears to be a pale lemon yellow col-
or. On account of its resemblance
to an ivy leaf I can it a "Fella
Aureus,'or "yellow leaf."
.1' do not contend that this bacillus
is the direct cause of appendicitis,
but I do maintain that through the
action of this bacillus, which lias
been cultured by the fermentative
and petrefactive changes in the se-
cretion of the intestinal glands, a
ptomaine Is produced svhioh Is toxic
end irritant to the intestinal mucous
surfaces.
Its irritant action is not suffi-
cient to produce an acute enteritis,
but owing to the ana.tomteal forma -
of the mecumand appendix fa-
voring stagnation at their point of
jeturture, this neighborhood is made
the seat of a concentrated action.
Once effectually irritated by this
ptomaine at ite orifice, the minute
lumen of the orga.n closes, retain-
lugthis poisonand inflaming the le n -
tire structure. If the inflammation;
subsides, as it will, the lumen of the I
organ again reopens, another dose
of ptomainic poison is induced and
the process repeated.
Having eneleacta myself as to tes:
cairso and ;pathology of ells disease,
my next Mese was to find an effete.;
Live remedy.
Two requi,siees were imperative for -
a emcee, for ehin malady. First, it
muet be a remedy ;that aye! have an -
alteratiee, correcting and soothing .
effect upen ehe "eolitary follicles" of -
the intestines, restoring ther nerneti
funetion es an excretory and secre-
tory organ, or apparatus, and there-
by feheoklag the feraneneation ane
tee puerefeetive ohanges ,which pro -
negate the "Fella Aureus" rule Its
toxie ptomaine.
&redly, tie remedy anuet be of
sueli ohmic -Si conetituonts as will ,be
taraffeeted by tee gaptric and upper
Latestinal Ames, but must yield Its
results in elle lower part ofthe emit
bowel, the .tseet of the "'solitary fol-
licles,' and "Peyer' s patches."
It le anong sobjeets With some
combination Of those premonitory
eel:manna of this malady that We
find our oases. These signs and Ville -
toms are dim to the mal-ttetion of
Intestinal ,glands, bringing about
the 1, renentative changes I have al-
ready spoken of, and mildly Intoxi-
enting tiro etateux. While tlior do
not necessarily signify the onset of
appentileitie a patient bearing thee°
signs it very prone to an attaols or
the disease at any time.
`S.orne of my observations may be
erannuel up ILO follows: 1
a. Appenclieltrs is a disease) of peri-
orielty. That is, Ilko malaria, there
aro certain equal periods at which
it is most prone to omen, I have yet
to find a case of chronic appenei-
eitts in which the statement of
the patient and the observation of
the physician, if acute, will not do-
monstrate a tendency to increrreed
activity of symptoms about each
twenty-onet days. This fact would
point toward tiro "germ theory"
of origin of this disease. . •
2. Its inereaeing prevalence to -day
to eireetly traceable to the 'grip`
epidemic, of 1889, 1890 and 1891,
eforlical authority at this time rep -
temente a most diversified list of
excesee" offerea for tire prevalence
of title disease. Everything is blamed
for it from "heredity" to "severe
physical exertion," but none of these
COMM take into consideration the
feet that this malady has been on
the rapla inerease in the last twelve
or fifteen yeare, wir le 'heredity" and
"exertion" shoal have been equally
effective prior to that time. There
19 not one person in thousands In
Ameriea that has not been affected
to mane extent at least with' the
grip at EMS time sine° the origina-
tion of the epidemio of 18s39.
The pestiferous nature of this
scourge is known to morticed men.
There is eminent authority for the
assertion" that no one wire suffer -
ea In grippe in severity came out
weole. Observing medical men have
recognized the fact that no organ,
nor set of organs, of the entire
body was more constantly affect-
ecl by a latent form of a tenacious
chronic disturbance following la
terIPPe than the digestive tract. It
was at this juncture that I receiv-
ed my first insight into the discovs
ory of the fact that the eauee of
appendicitis to -day is a disordered
condition of the int:retinal glands
resulting from the late effects of
this epidemic influenza.
a. The radical operative methods
of treatment now in use are not
justifiable. Notwithstanding all the
advance made In recent years in
the practice of surgery, It is never
juetifiable to subject people to the
dangers of a capital operation if
such operation can be avoided.
In order to reauce .the risk of an
- operation of this order to the min-
imum, the operator should bo most
skilled in the technique of lea crate.
While the science and art of surg-
ery has made wonderful 'strides in
the last 25 years, the fact zemains
that never before were there more
lamp:ape-tent devotees to the art
than at this time. The brilliancy
of the best surgeons has imbued
thlousands of men with the hope
of developing genius in ties line.
The result of this is that to -day,
with operations for appendicitis
being performed in every town, vil-
lage and hamlet, the death tette
from this malady is fully as largo
or larger than before these oper-
ationscame into vogue.
.A.t this time -are operative treat-
ment of appendicitis is practiced In
preference to any other method.
At the very mention or the name
tho abdomen is ripped open and
the appendix removed, in many
cases, without the slightest provo-
catton.
in a recent case which came to my
notice it was necessary for. the sur-
geon to make, a mioroscopleal exam-
ina.tIon of the organ after removal
in order that lie might bo able to
assure the family of the victim that
the patient rea.ly had appendicitis;
e. Appendicitis is not vastly more
prevalent in the male than in the
female, as is presamed by authority.
There are numberless cases of ap-
pendicitis in the female that are con -
fume) With other ailments, Indeed, in
many cases where symptoms have de-
veloped resultant froth an inflamma-
tion of. the appendix, a deception in
diasnoeie is pardonable. Large num-
bers of such cases reach the gyne-
cologiet, and the dootor operates:
for "pelvic abscesse' Tees° cases
never reach their proper place in the
column of statistic:a of appendicitis
where they really belong. It is true,
however that on account of a more
roomy pelvic Wein and a better blood
supply there its a Might decrease in
the number of cagiest with women as
compared with mons The ratio be-
tween the sexes is about as 52 to 48.
There Is no doubt that my claims
will be viewed skeptioally by many,
tut they will at least awaken a scien-
tific interest in this subject, and an
investigation with future experience
will endorse my assertions and my
remedy. Results speak more forcibly
than argument. t ,
I have Merited my subject and an-
nounced ny conclusions and discov-
eries. I am confident of the fact
that It will be only a matter of com-
paratively a few years when the
present system of operative treat-
ment of appendicitis, as practised to
tho exclusion of all °thee measure,
will be considered obsolete and really
criminal,.
"Operation from, necessity and not
from election" will be recognized es
axiomatic and beyond argument.

The enemies or Israel wore pelts
ered in the valley of Jezreel In the
Very heart of Manasseles tribe, and
not far from Ghleener own tray,
relleY were a mixed multitude of Mid-
lanites, Amalekitee, and Arabians.
For their sin God had delivered Is-
,
meei into the hand of Malian seven I
years, and they came up againsit
them, and pitched their camps
among them wit)) rut intent to de-
stroy the land as a habitation for
Israel.
The time came when they re/dic-
ed their condition and cried unto
the Lord. He were moved by their
prayer and sent a prophet to re-
prove them and prepare them for
deliveranoe. Thus God sends minis-
ters anti teachers as an evicioece
of Ills mercy and grace.
An angel is sent to Gideon, who
in obscurity Is threshing wheat by
the wine press, to hide it from the
eyes of the Midianites. The angel
gives him his commission, which Is
mot by such' objections as only a
discouraged and unbelieving heart
would suggest . under such circum -
salvoes. The angel answers his ob-
jection% assuring hlm of success as
Israel's deliverer, Gideon desires to
leave hie faith confirmed, so he asks
a sign, which was given hint. His
prepared cakes and kid were turn-
ed into an acceptable offering and
consumed with fire kindled by the
dives° One, thus accepting hits per-
son and con(irming his commission
Passing over the eveut of the sign
of the fleece, we come to the deliv-
erance wrought for Israel -through
the Almighty by Iris chosen agent.
Gideon had gathered together about
thirty-two thousand men, whilo their
enemieswere at )eat one hundred
and thirty-five tboueand etroug.
Having chosen the teeing ground over-
looking the velley they could see the.
vast spread of tents and the great
hosts of warriors on every side,
overspreading the ground. God evi-
dently designed to show them, Bust
the ages through them, that the bat-
tles of the Church of God were not de-
pendent upon the strength and power
of human enflame but upon Himself
alone
PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
flideon's arany numbered thirty-two
thousand. "While he doubtless
thought his men too fent God saw
they were too many, and ordered it
reduction. According to God's stan-
dard there were only about three
hundred in thirty-two thousand that
wore worth anything for real fight-
ing, for real endurance, for real en-
terprise." In the Christian warfare
God calls for men who will.

tore William to Wiate
opened under tide Italian name in
Hanover, N. H. It was one of elm
first, 1! not the very first, coun-
try stores where metes end boys'
clothing was to be had ready made.
It was about 1848, which was an
earlier date than affixes to the set-
ting up of the tailor's bench in
many of the villages of thee° parts
of the United States. The clothing
for boys and men alike was then
in mom places masle by sowing wo-
men, called talleresees, who went
from faintly to family to cut and
fit and baste mei° garments of eith-
er home -woven or "boughtene cloth,
and, this dono, it was another mat-
ter wbether the tailoress completed
the job or the hougewlfe or the
grown up daughters did that.
telie writer or this article waa then
living but a few miles from Hanover,
the famed seat of Dartmouth Col-
lege, and the firet suit of clothes he
ever had that was not made as
juet now deocribed, was purchased
at tho Tontine more in that town.
This feet would not b3 introduced
here but for the reason that in a
way it belongs to the blograpby of
a, man who Is now very wealthy
and also greatly distinguished, he
having been a United States senator
and Vice -President of the United
States. Levi, P. Morton was the or-
ganizer, manager and talesman of
the Tontine In Hanover, N. 11, that
sold dry goods, clothing and gro-
ceries to the villagers anti to the
farmers; in the vicinity. Mr. Morton
was the first merchant in that re-
gion to advertise his business In more
newspapers than were published in
the village. Ho made use of the col-
umns of the local prints throughout
the country, consequently he se-
cured cuetomers itt all the valleys
and on every hillside of old Grafton.
Whether tho builisiess was successful
or not is not remembered, but if it
was a failure, it was owing to the
false principle on which the Ton-
tine system was based. Anyhow,
Levi 1'. Morton profited by It, as
the reputation lie acquired there in-
sured a call to Boston to be-
come a partner in the greatest dry
goods firm in all New England.
The foregoing was recalled to miad
the other day by readLng in a New
Haven newspaper an article- on the
approaching winding up of a Ton-
tine hotel company that has existed
en that clay eine° 1826. A condensed
account of the old and continuing
scheme will prove of interest, but
before this is attempted it may be
neceesary to explain what is meant
by Tontine. That it 'wee: not a•
aocialist invention is, protest] by the
fact that at the voy time of the
Hanover eiperlinent their; were in
many •yillages of Nowliampshire, at.
also ell over Now England, what
practical*, were eo-operative stores,
but were called farm.ers' and me-
chanins' stores. The capital for run-
ning them was contributed on shares
by anybody :who °hove to • do so and
the eharehelerees • obtained their
goods at actual cost. And when the
business Wound up whatever was
left of tho capital was divided pro
rata among the subscribers. These
Mares Were a great craze for a time,
but they never; were a great success,
and ultimately eecoane unpopular.
Co-operative stores have for a long
tim.e flourished in England, but never
in the United States to any appre-
ciable extent. The Tontine was based
on a different principle, but neither
hao ;that ever been a great success
in the State.
Lorenzo Tonti, a. Neapolitan, in tee
middle of the eeventeenth century
originated a kind 0.1 life annuity, and
upon the publication of his scheme
it was introduced into France.
Some kind of a business was pro-
posed to which subscriptions were.
invited, a,nd the subscriber:: or their
representatives were divided into
ten classes, and an annuity, to be
paid out of. profSts, was apportion-
ed to each' class according to age,
the survivors deriving an increased
annuity as their associates died
and the last survivor receiving the
annuity of his class till the close
of his tire. From the name • of its
originator this scheme was called
Twain% The Freuch Government.
took up wetli it, and it was Car-
dinal Mazarin who, in 1658, found-
ed the Nast association of this
kind. It was named the Royal Ton-
tine and the whole sum paid in
was 1,025,000 francs, in ton classes
of 102,500 francs each The Hub-
seription was 300 francs and every
subscriber received the interest of
his 'investment until the death of
some member of the association in-
creased the dividend to the rest,
and after the death of the tisk
subscriber it reverted to the'state.
e'eis project was not successful.
In 1689 Louis XIV. authorized air -
other of 1,400,000 francs, divided
into fourteen classes, according
to age, from children of 5 years
to adults of 70. This ono was suc-
cessful, and in 1726 the last sur-
vivor of the fourteenth class, a
widow of a poor surgeon, who had
ilivested 300 le/tiles iii the Ton,
tine, lead when 96 yeas% of age an
income of 73,500 francs. Other Ton-
tines were orgaideed in Paris in
1733, but soon afterivard the
government interdicted them es a
measure of finance.
In England Tontines were 'oeca-
sionally resorted to Py the geecirta
mut, or they Were patronized be
it, down to as late as 1789. A few
private ones have been established
there in coMparatively recent years,
the Alevandra Park Company, ed
1871, beim one of these.
A. Tontine association Was organ-
ized in New York, in 1700, with 200
shares, valued Lie $250 each. The
Tontine coffee-house was bitilt In
Wall street, and the property wee
leased for business purposee. The
leaso was to expire and tlie property
to revert to tee owners Of the
shares depending upon the Istet soYen
lives. This contingency occurred in
1870, but litigationremitted and no
other attempt to found tt Tontine
in New York, was eter in•ade.
