She rose, and Lady Victoria rose also and walked to the door. As she opened it she smiled grimly. "You have courage," she said. "I am more than ever convinced that you are the wife for Jack. I will go." On the same afternoon Lady Victoria developed appendicitis and went to bed for two months.
We're the only people that haven't oriental rugs now. Why, the Gilberts and everybody knows how much they still owe Dr. Melton for Ellen's appendicitis, and their grocer told Ralph they owe him several hundred dollars well, they have just got an oriental rug that they paid a hundred and sixty dollars for. Mrs.
While appendicitis is one of the "realest" and most substantial of diseases, and, in its serious form, highly dangerous to life, there can be little doubt that there has come, first of all, a state of mind almost approaching panic in regard to it; and, second, a preference for it as a diagnosis, as so much more distingué than such plebeian names as "colic," "indigestion," "enteritis," or the plain old Saxon "belly-ache," which has reached almost the proportions of a fad.
Near as I can make out, it was what they call appendicitis nowadays, and had come on him in the night. "Along in the afternoon I went out there to see if there was anything I could do. You know what a house in that condition is like. Old Fes Bainbridge, who was some sort of a relation, and me sat on the stairs together outside Mel's room.
It required an effort, but I made it, although, in so doing, I seemed to be turning my soul inside out for his inspection. "H'm," breathed Æsculapius. "Rather serious. You think you have appendicitis." "Have I?" I cried. Æsculapius laughed. "Have you?" he asked. "What do you think you think?" "I think I have," said I, my heart growing faint at the very thought I thought I was thinking.
At the postmortem" here the doctor paused in his walk, lowering his voice almost to a whisper while he bent over the boy "at the post-mortem the knife discovered an abscess on the vermiform appendix. The discovery was made too late." These were the days before appendicitis became fashionable.
Of course, technically there could be no appendicitis without an appendix, but the cecum would become inflamed just as readily. No amount of forcing drugs given by the mouth can induce a movement from above the constriction, but a great amount of pain can be produced by attempting to force a passage.
There is much to learn on the subject of what to eat, what not to eat, what foods to combine and what combinations to shun, when to eat, when not to eat, etc. Appendicitis is caused by wrong eating; those who go through the disease and recover, will have another attack unless they change their style of eating.
The man who said this had been a prominent allopathic physician before he turned "healer." He, too, like so many others ignorant of Nature's simple laws, had swung from one extreme to the other, from allopathic overdoing to metaphysical underdoing. In this instance, the Lord "took care" of the patient's bowels until she was taken down with a severe attack of appendicitis and peritonitis.
The only significance of it in man is that not infrequently a cherry-stone or some other hard and indigestible matter penetrates into its narrow cavity, and by setting up inflammation and suppuration causes the death of otherwise sound men. Teleology has great difficulty in giving a rational explanation of, and attributing to a beneficent Providence, this dreaded appendicitis.
