Pins, the Doctor says, have been the foreign bodies most frequently met, a statement which furnishes a mute approval of the objec- tion mothers have to the -infantile tendency to gobble pins, and possibly` a warning to others who utilize the mouth in lieu of a pin-cushion. `in all the debtl. i'It used to thought that these- foreign bodies `were the cause of ap- pendicitis} But Dr. Edebohls says that the lodgment of these in the appendix is probably the result rather than the cause of the disease. Bacteriological investigation has shown in practical]? every case that appendicitis is due to bacterial invasion of the appendix walls. The" Boer Girl at name.

The first operation for appendicitis, so far as the records show, was in 1759. That was for the purpose ofdrawing an abscess, not for the removal of the appendix. The beginning of the modern surgical treatment was in 1867.
