When the editor of an English pa- per received a fine chicken he believed it to be a token from some appreciative reader. After the editor had enjoyed The receipts of the City Corporation included £173,340 from rates, £260,- 903 from rents, tolls. dues, etc., in re- spect of markets, and £337,576 from rents and profits of other property. The receipts of the London County Council were £5,274,440, and. the pay- ments amounted to £5,160,767. Up- wards of £1,600,000 was paid as inter- est on borrowed moneys, upwards of £897,000 on tramways, upwards of £207,000 on the Fire Brigade, upwards of £158,000 on parks and open spaces, and upwards of £235,000 on technical education. According to the local taxation re- turns, which were issued on Saturday. says Lloyd’s Weekly, the sums received by local authorities in England and Wales during 1902-3 amounted to £129,206,?84, and the sums expended to £128,968,?43. The rateable value of England and Wales at the com- mencement of the year was £191,106.- 528. From-a layman's point of view, the discussion, which evoked too many speakers and too widespread an inter- est to be dismissed in a single session. and will therefore be continued next; week, was decidedly reassuring. If he is fated to be deprived of his appendix, which in any case is of no value in the scheme of internal arrangements, he has every reason to face the prospect; with equanimity. ' l Much more formidable than the operation during the quiescent period after the attack are those necessitated by local or general peritonitis during the attack. known as cases of “fulmi- nating appendicitis," when every hour is of vital importance. In such cases it is always a question of touch and go. but even in these cases London is able to record of late a marked increase in the number of cases successfully treated. More extraordinary, even to the lay mind, are cases which have occurred where the pain altogether is neurotic, a question of nerves pure and simple. Again, mistakes in diagnosis do occur and before now man has been deprived of an offending appendix only to find that his trouble had its seat in quite a. different part of his machinery. Sir Frederick did not, against all traditions, quote the familiar story of the man who, to guard against con- tingencies in the event of sudden loss of consciousness, wore tattooed on his abdomen, “Do not operate, have had appendix removed three times," but he told a no less remarkable story of a patient who had come to him with a relapse after having undergone an op- eration for removal of the appendix. In investigating matters, Sir Frederick was able to remove it for him a second time. On the first occasion, presum- ably, the surgeon had overlooked it. The recurrence of the pain is at time due to the incompleteness of the operation, when the appendix had not been entirely removed. Often again the pain is due to a sort of neuralgia in the amputated stomach. The greater part of Sir Frederick Troves’ address was devoted to the con- sideration of the causes of relapse after the removal of the offending appendix. as shown by the recurrence of the at- tacks. A majority of these are of too technical a nature to admit of appre- ciation by a layman, but one or two’ of them are of more curious interest. In view of these astonishing figures it occurred to a lay mind to enquire of expert opinion as to the fate of those who, seeing the appendix was not a modern innovation in the interest of the mechanism of the human race, had suflered from appendicitis in the dark ages before the introduction of the Treves operations. He was told in a hurried aside that they were reputed to be suffering from colic and other un- pleasantnesses ending in “itis,” and that in many of the cases the patient whose life would now be saved died of unrecognized appendicitis. Since then a deal of water had flowed under the bridges. Sir Frt‘dt rick had himself in private practice Opt ratcd on more than 1, 000 cases \xithout a single death to mar the success of his record. One great London hospital records within a period of four years a total of exactly 1,000 cases of operations for ap- pendicitis, with a mortality of a little more than 4 per cent. Similar favor- able results were shown by statistics turnished by several of the larger gen- eral hospitals. 0 How thoroughly modern the subject is, was made manifest by a casual in- troductory remark by Sir Frederick Treves, when he mentioned that when, in 1887, before the same society which now had mustered in force to discuss complex problems at times pres<nted by operations, he had first mooted the advisability of the removal of the ap- pendix in cases of recurrent attacks, his suggestion had been received with polite scepticism, not unmixed with de- rision. That lg of Course, to surgeons of Cl.- verneseâ€"ln 1,000 There Was Not One Death. 1!, as was flippantly remarked re- cently in the editorial columns of one London paper, the removal of the apt pendix is an essential qualification for entry into smart society. the meeting the other night of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society in London should have been the occasion of a. smart gathering. for its interest cen- tred, so to speak, round the appendix. Those present, numbering more than 200 surgeons and physicians, had two hours of appendix, and in the course of Sir Frederick Treves’ lucid address. which opened the discussion, even a layman had ample occasion to improve his perfunctory acquaintance with it.
