that four weeks must
elapse before he will be able to
undergo tho arduous labors ot the

A CHARLESTON l'HYSICIAN DESCRIBES
DISEASE OF RDWARI) VII.
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.
