recently former resi dents of Old North York recalled this movement of other localities at the same time expressing a desire that- some such organization to visit New market during the next Fair would become an accomplished fact If some leading spirit among those who formerly resided at Newmarket would make a call thru the City evening press we make no doubt the result would astonish them Newmarket

bowels set in and death ensued Or an acquaintance travelling at a distance from surgical aid with peritonitis and before relief could be afforded was dead It is surprising that the discovery that these serious abdominal affeotions practically always begin in the appen dix should have been left to an Ameri can medical men of our day All over Europe hundreds of autopsies Were made every year in which the role of the appendix as the primary cause of the fatal illness is now manifest The key to the mystery of most of the ser ious abdominal affections lay for years right under the eyes of every maker of many autopsies It- was contained in an organ however that was thought to be unimportant Needles to say it was missed When American first insisted that practically al I intestinal colic was due to inflamma tion of the appendix and that most of the fatal peritonitis originated in this obscure little organ they were scoffed at by men who said ironic things about of judicial conservatism in their enterprising American col leagues Now the importance of appen dicitis is fully recognized though due credit is not given to American invent ive acumen lor Hie discovery It is he custom Jut discoveries to search out the Bible does not undertgke to reveal them But since man by searching cannot find out God he tells the story of himself in this inspired book To Know how stars are made how the earth is PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS It is in vain to try to explain the universe without the presence of God It is far more easy to believe that he is than that he is not So far as God reveals himself so far we can know him and ought to know him With the capacity to know increas ed so will know- ledge in time and thru eternity Before matter and force God was and it was the hand of his power guided by wisdom and goodness which has brought all things to be What God has made or makes is very good but what man makes is often marred in the making for he himself is not perfection To rest one day in

em- con- was Of the canal of the When the canal of the small lead tube of the appendix becomes very nar row at some point it takes but little to shut it entirely Some disturb ance of digestion or a cold or a blow sends more blood than usual to the intestines This causes mucous membrane of the intestine of the appendix which is part of the intes tine to swell This swelling closes entirely the narrowed canal of the and then the trouble begins Bacteria are always present in the appendix because of its connection with the intestine where they swarm As long as the exit is free these germs are not dangerous As soon as are confined their rarvd multiplication without chance of escape makes them deadly They rupture the appendix and if they do not find way out of the body death is inevitable The strictures of the appendix that are the prime cause of the trouble are not congenital that is are not pres ent at birth but are acquired Most of them result from severe intestinal disease in childhood Some of them follow typhoid fever or dysentery or Influenza of the intestines The most important factor is undoubtedly the colitis of childhood that is the in flammation of the large intestine so frequent in the early years of life Appendicitis has been always with us It can be unmistakably traced through history Many a supposed case of poisoning was in reality only a rapidly fatal appendicitis Chapters of history will have to be rewritten with this In mind Our generation will not escape Its share In the dan gers of evolution We can individually lessen our chances of suf fering by avoiding all forms of intes tinal Especially does the chronic congestion that accompanies constipation seem to predispose to appendicitis Constipation preceeds an acute appendicitis in per
