In the preceding talk about appendicitis I gave the gist of our present knowledge ot the di rect cause Infarlinn and. ' since there is S .'" " I no consensus ? ttsM of medical opinion, so far as I can learn, concerning in direct or pre disposing fac to r s, I give here my idea about such c o n t ributing Dr. Brady causes. As mentioned earlier, most physicians and surgeons at pres ent regard the presence or. undi gestible foreign bodies such as seeds or fecal concretions in the aDnendix as a consequence of one or more attacks of appendi citis rather than a cause, for the healthy, normal appendix is as empty as it is blind, and it ad mits nothing from the cemum (head of large bowel), not even mucus. Moreover the appendix does not secrete anything or function as the "oil can" of the intestine. In fact the appendix has no function. It is merely an evolutional relic or vestige, in man, of what, in animals, is still a functionally important portion of the alimentary tract. But don't infer from this that you ought to eat more rabbit food. It is fifty thousand years too late alimentary muscle, that is, the involuntary muscle coat of the stomach and intestine, and that there is inevitably lowering of tone and Impairment of diges tion if the daily supply of vita min Bl, (thiamine) is inadequate as it is almost sure to be when refined while flour and refined white sugar constitute the sources of most of the daily cal orics, as these sissy foods do in the diet of so many unfortunate children and their Ignorant, cred ulous parents in Yankee land. hope no reader of this is so ig norant as to resent being called ignorant. Show me a person who is not ignorant about one thing or another and well, you can t do it, Please bear In mind that it is not constipation but vitamin Bl (thiamine) deficiency that, in my judgment, predisposes to appendicitis. Keeping this fact in mind, 1 think it is good sense and good therapeutics to combine Bl (thiamine) with any medicine you may take as a laxative, or "regulator" if you insist. Fur ther I would suggest that if you must take any laxative at all it had better be cascara combined with thiamine, but only suffi cient cascara to give the tonic effect, never enough to produce catharsis, and always in two or three very small doses (of cas cara) daily rather than one large dose a day, the idea being to now. Besides, there are other and better reasons why most of us ought to eat more rabbit food, as we shall explain presently. Remember, I am giving mere ly my opinion about contribut ing causes of appendicitis. I be lieve constipation Itself is not a contributing cause, although I believe that one of the causes, if not the chief cause ot constipa tion, namely, vitamin Bl (thia mine) deficiency Is an Import ant predisposing cause of appen dicitis. As a matter of fact we know now that vitamin Bl (thiamine) is essential to maintain what physiologists and physicians call QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Headache I'd like to know more about calcium for earnc-he.

Y. (U.R) Jesse C. Nicholls, Jr., has a unique and exacting wartime occupation collecting timber rattlesnakes for the army. The son of a retired Army of ficer, Nicholls found it hard to accept a 4-F classification with two brothers in uniform. For a time he was a flight Instructor, but was "shelved" for physical reasons. Young Nicholls took the "bit" in his teeth and decided to do something both dangerous and essential for the war effort. He studied timber rattlers and their locales. Stnt To Florida In the summer of 1944, at Er wln, Tenn., he started as a vol unteer collector to supply Army needs for antivenin scrum. Nich olls recently left Ithnca for his second expedition to collect snakes. They are expressed to Florida, where the serum pro cessing takes place. Snake snaring is an exacting Job, he warns, taking place so far from civilization that the col lector cannot afford to make mistakes. Nicholls "pins down victims with a forked stick, loops their heads with a slip noose, and works them into carrying-cases, alive and uninjured. Mountaineers Helpful Native mountaineers have been helpful, Nicholls said. "Just show stranger-wary moonshin ers a rattler," he added, "and after that there is simply no sus picion. They pitch right In and run risks in behalf of their own relatives who are now overseas." Nicholls, the only person known to have offered his serv ices ir the dangerous occupa tion, gives special credit to help ers Hattle Lord. Stover Wise.
