A representative of The Evening Post called on a prominent physician and asked him to explain the malady. "Perityphlitis," ho said, "is strictly speaking, a diseuse or inflamation of the caecum, a sack or pouch of the larger intestine to which is attached the vermiform appendix. If I am not greatly mistaken, King Edward has probably I con operated on for appoudicitsi, or the English may use this term of speaking of an inflammation of the appendix. Or it may be some inflamation of the caecum itself. Perityphlitis is really a form of local peritonitis and the iack of details 111 the first bulletin leaves a wide margiu for ? speculation. "As to the seriousness or prob able fatality of such an operation, it is impossible to state without knowing more ubout the case. To a man the age of King Edward who had lived a natural life and whose organs were in a normal state of health, unless the case is an aggravated one developing unexpected complications, the operation should be successful with small chance of a fatality. But according to all reportsKingEdward has crowded several lives into his single span and it makes tho matter of an abdemiiml^operationquite another matter?proportionate of course to tho gravity of the inflammation and the necessity for sewing some poition of the intestine.
