If man depended upon God's will to save him, as he did in the past, the appendix would rupture, peritonitis would set in, and despite prayers and sacrificial offerings, the Deity would exact his life. When the surgeon observes a superficial cancerous growth, or an internal growth which can be removed in its entirety, does he trust to the Lord to halt this pernicious development?
"She's gone, clean gone!" murmured the bewildered captain. "Clean as a whistle," said the mate. "The new hands must ha' run away with her." Then the bereaved captain raised his voice, and pronounced a pathetic and beautiful eulogy upon the departed vessel, somewhat marred by an appendix in which he consigned the new hands, their heirs, and descendants, to everlasting perdition.
I hope that your studies in French methods of surgery will have added to your wisdom. Your industry edifies me, and I am sure that you will eventually be a baronet and the President of the Royal College of Surgeons; and you shall relieve royal persons of their, vermiform appendix. Yours ever, Arthur, having read this letter twice, put it in an envelope and left it without comment for Miss Boyd.
It was published at Oxford in 1612, from two to three years after Smith's return to England. The appendix contains the narratives of several of Smith's companions in Virginia, edited by Dr. Symonds and overlooked by Smith. In one of these is a brief reference to the above-quoted incident.
THE Centenary of the Consecration of Bishop Seabury was commemorated in Aberdeen by services on the seventh and eighth days of October, 1884, at which the Bishop of Connecticut and a delegation of the clergy attended. In the appendix will be found an account of these services, including Bishop Williams's sermon, Dr. Beardsley's historical paper, and other addresses.
It does not appear that he availed himself of the information which he says, he obtained from his slave, for such I suppose he was. In his appendix to "Variolae Triumphatae," he says, "There has been a wonderful practice lately used in several parts of the world, which indeed is not yet become common in our nation.
The pages of Engel's book swarm with incidents of individual and class misery; and while he admits fully, in the appendix prepared in 1886, that many of the evils enumerated have disappeared, he adds that for the mass of workers "the state of misery and insecurity in which they live now is as low as ever, perhaps lower."
I have lived long enough to hear the Zeitgeist invoked to bless very different theories. . . . as if it were a kind of impiety not to float with the stream, a feat which any dead dog can accomplish. . . . An appendix is as superfluous at the end of the human cæcum as at the end of a volume of light literature.
In a very interesting appendix, he collects the evidence in favour of this hypothesis, which indeed is not without plausibility, since there is every reason for supposing that the gospel was written at Ephesus, which a century before had been John's place of residence.
Whatever we may have decided in regard to our brains, by the time we reach fifty, we may feel reasonably sure we've no appendix. But the question will at once arise, if the appendix be so tiny in size, so insignificant in capacity, and so devoid of useful function, what is the use of disturbing ourselves over the question of what may become of it?
