APPENDICITIS
Whatever may be the explanation’,
there seems to be no question but
that appendicitis, is becoming more\
common. Appendicitis- is responsible'
for moreXteaths ^an result from all
the common communicable diseases
put- together. The...l,577 deaths frdm
appendicitis, in Canada, during 19^4/
exceed the maternal deaths, t^d
deaths from diabetes, hr the fatali
ties arising from motor car accidents.
The appendix is the most common
site of infection within the abdomen.
This uselejss appendage in the .human
is- situated at the beginning of the
larfee bowel in the' lower right side
of the abdomen. When,, for one rea
son or another, the appendix be
comes obstructed, the inflammation
which results leads to tension, which
may progress until the appendix rup
tures. : ' . ' • ’ .
The appendix, is a blind tube with
a narrow lumen. It becomes obstruc
ted very readily. When the appendix
rupture’s into, the' abdominal cavity,
this causes a peritonitis or inflama-
tion of the membrane’ peritoneum,
which lines tlie abdominal cavity and
the organs, situated ih the cavity.
Appendicitis odcurs. at all ages.

It is more common in children and.
young ‘adults, but it is a greater
menace to life after forty years pf
age. The onset of an acute attack
is marked by pain, nausea and us
ually vomiting.
__The pain in the abdomento begin
with; is usually rather general, but
as it continues, it becomes more sev
ere" and localized over the site of .the
appendix, where there is also ten
derness and: rigidity of the abdom
inal muscles. At this, stage, there is
some fever, the patient lies quietly
oar hjs back, .pften with the right
knee flexed,, tliis being the. most,
comfortable" position.
A sudden cessation of pain at this
point is a danger signal, for this
may be a “treacherous period of
calm” due to the relief of' pressure
as the appendix ruptures, to be fol
lowed by a much more serious con
dition, peritonitis.
Just how serious the’ condition be
comes depends upon the location of
the appendix, how long attack has
lasted—usually, the longer the bet
ter as this has given nature time to
limit the spread of infection in the
^ritoneum through creating a bar
rier of adhesions—and lastly; to ^he
"extent that laxatives ^have been used
to I defeat thfe protective "measure.

Queen Mary Hospital Patients
One of the most unique schools in
Canada is that. maintained for the
inmates of the Queen Mary Hospital -
fob Consumptive Children. These
, youngsters come from, all parts of tpe
province. Many creeds and races are
represented. '
Most of these school-children are.so
bright and-playful that one wonders how
it can be possible that ill-health lurks
behind their jolly, inquisitive smile* In
this school, the hours are from 9 to^^ in
the morning and from 3 to 4 iiMwbe
afternoon, for the pupils in this novel
school are not as strong as the average
child of like ago. The work covers that
period lying between kindergarten and
high school entrance. Domestic science
.' and vocational training is also taught the
older pupils. Some of the gjrls make little
dresses for themselves andthe boys have '
made several shirts.
Each year many thousarids of dollars
must be spent to bring such children back
, to health. Will you please help the Queen -
'Mary Hospital in its work of mercy by.
