"I'm home on leave. Appendicitis. Left the nursing home three weeks ago. Been at the sea, and came back yesterday in time for this show. Getting a bit tired of slacking!" "You must be. Dear me! I am sorry. Too bad to begin so soon," murmured Claire pitifully; but Master Reginald disdained sympathy. "Oh, I dunno," he said calmly. "It's quite the correct thing, don't you know? Everybody's doing it.
In regard to surgery for this disease I shall quote from Ochsner: "Personally, I can only second the statement made by one of the most experienced men in this country in the surgical treatment of appendicitis, that there are thousands of surgeons who are otherwise competent, i. e., competent to perform the ordinary surgical and gynecological operations, whom he would not think of permitting to open his abdomen in case he personally suffered from an attack of appendicitis.
But I certainly do feel out of sorts, this morning. Funny, got a pain down here on the left side but no, that wouldn't be appendicitis, would it? Last night, when I was driving over to Verg Gunch's, I felt a pain in my stomach, too. Right here it was kind of a sharp shooting pain. I Where'd that dime go to? Why don't you serve more prunes at breakfast?
The sense for human superiority ought, then, to be considered our line, as boring subways is the engineer's line and the surgeon's is appendicitis. Our colleges ought to have lit up in us a lasting relish for the better kind of man, a loss of appetite for mediocrities, and a disgust for cheap jacks.
"My extra-bill's up." Thereupon they rose together and fell straightway upon the juggler.

"Bosh, you ought to be jolly grateful to us, really. You'd probably have appendicitis if we let you eat all this phew!
If such an examination were given to a well man and repeated as frequently as in the average appendicitis case, I say that the well man would soon suffer from some severe disease induced by bruising.
A subordinate who had been a couple of years on the staff died as a result of an operation for appendicitis. He had a wife and one little child who were not very well provided for. On the day after the funeral, Northcliffe sent down and told her he had invested 1,000 pounds for her.
A somewhat similar case was that of a man who died in the Hotel-Dieu in 1833. The ileum of this man contained 92 shot and 120 plum stones. Buckler reports a case of appendicitis in a child of twelve, in which a common-sized bird-shot was found in the appendix.
One was the mamaei, which was about as large as a peach, and the other the sapodilla, fruit of the color of a plum. The seeds are in a jelly-like mass. "You eat them and don't have to be afraid of appendicitis," said the Spaniard with a laugh. Several views were taken in the jungle "village," as Joe called it, and then they went farther on into the deep woods. "Whew!
"It's really rather a mad idea," the latter began, "and I understand you found a part of what you were searching for, at any rate. But you know the man Phillips, who'd been operated upon for appendicitis your patient, Miss Beverley, who died during the voyage?" "What about him?" the captain demanded. "Just one thing," the Doctor continued.
