"The people of Germany are starv? ing," said Mr. Daniels, who for three years has heen studying in West? phalia. "There are few left who are more than HQ years old, all succumb? ing to lack of nutrition, while the death rate" among the children is frightful.

Operation Now Coninron Performed byi Hurgcoim of Long \^o. - Not only did people have tonsils In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but the popular gumc of t<>nsilectome,! or removing the tonsils .had been die covered by surgeons of the time who had devised the necessary Instrumente, according to Dr. Janus J, Walsh, who spoke, at the New York Academy of Medicine's last session, says a New York special to The Philadelphia Pub? lic Ledger. Doctor Walsh also said that a high degree of skill had hern i acquired by women physicians at Sal? erno some TUu years ago, women be? ing admitted as students as a matter ! of course, and the department ?>f wo men'l diseases being in charge Of women. Doctor Walsh said: "The Middle Ages would probably be almost the last place in history' where most people would expect to! (Ind any particular development of the surgical specialties. The treatment, however, of the nose and throat and of the eyes received a good deal of at? tention at this time, and we have doc? umentary evidence of what was ac? complished. "The first modern medical school was established at Balerno, not very far from Naples, in connection with the health resort which had been es? tablished there, and attracted patients and physicians not only from south? ern Italy and from Greece, but also from the Near East, from North America ami from the west of BUt rope. We know that a son of William the Conqueror Went down there to be cured of an ailment in the eleventh century, and that many bishops and other Churchmen went there in tin twelfth century. "W.itb that in mind, it would not >o surprising to find that even the sur? gical {Specialities Were developed there The fast great writer on surgery was Hoger, sometimes called Roger of i Parma, and sometimes Roger of Baler? no, and he is the first independent I writer on medicine in the Occident af? ter the Arabian times. He lived a! the end of the twelfth and the begin? ning Of the thirteenth centuries, and probably wrote his "Practice Chlrur-I nine" about the beginning of the thirteenth century. "Roger has a description of Infla matton Of the tonsils With its treat ment that is very interesting. He calls these organs bronchi or brand, and says that they swell interiorly and) create, as it were, two almond-like bodies In the throat. As a consequence of this swelling, expectoration is dif? ficult and breathing is conducted with anxiety. For this gargling should first he used, and if the patient is not relieved, recourse should be had to surgery. "Then he described how an opera tlon should be done on them: 'Place the patient first before yog and pies his tongue down in his open mouth With an instrument so that you can see the tonsils well. Take hold of them with a bronze or iron hook and Incise them with a properly sharpened in? strument. Leave the coverings which stand next to them uninjured, how ever.' "This is. of coins*', a description mily of a single opening of a tonsil or tbscess. When the Inflamatlon o ihe tonsils has proceeded so far. Iiowever. that simple incision will not sure them, then he suggests that j 1 with instruments mane for this pur? pose they should be completely re- I moved. His I*atin words for this et a radice flllldltUS evelantur? j ivhtch may he translated literally, plucked away entirely by the roots. Mohahly gave the hint for our use of I lie expression under similar cireum- I i itanccs?radical operation. it "Manifestly there wi re a number of ipeclal instruments for work In the hroat In Roger's time and so we are iot surprised to have a little further 1 on a description of a serious condi? tion near the ipoglottis, which im peded the voice and obstructed the trachea and could only be cured by surgical intervention. Quiit does not hesitate to say that in this Roger was almost surely describing: t dema of the glottis and that apparently this con? dition had been recognrz * and some tnode Of treating it discu:-sed, though iii his book on surgery Hoger only hints at it" !>i.
