TREATMENT OF APPENDICITIS.
You report that the hospital staff admit refusing to allow a new method of cure to be tried, and that the reason was that they did not know what drugs were to be tised. This would seem to be a very insufficient reason, especially when one considers the serious nature of these cases. Besides, they did not mention that full information was to be given after the utility of tit© method had been demonstrated, and an opportunity given €o the doctors to become acquainted with its use. The premature disclosure in the past of remedies new to the medical .world has led to much harm being done to patients, and to the discrediting of the remedy. So long as no information has been given, it is not possible for any inexperienced rash enthusiast to pretend to know how to use it. On the other Land, when it has been shown ..that all cases, however severe, can be at once put right with a few properly used doses, then those who have thus become interested can learn just how' it is. done, and can show others. .
