Peace Falls In 191H.
An Atlantic Port, Feb. 2.?Opinion
that unless the war ends within the
year 191S there will be a revolution
Which will overthrow the Hchenzol
lerns in Germany, was expressed by
the Itev. Aloysius Daniels of Hewitt,
Win., upon his arrival here today
from Germany by way of Switzer?
land.
"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.
"President Wilson is anathematized,
throughout the empire but hardly
WOree than Is the emperor, while
What is said openly of the crown
prince Is not nt to repeat.
"i believe they will quell this In?
Clpent revolt, but there will be an?
other unless the war ends before next
year and that one will be the end of
Ihe Hohenzollerns."

Ihe state of preparedness required by
departmental regulations and have
been recognised by the military bu?
reau.
This was disclosed today in a state?
ment Issued by Secretary Baker
through the military hureau. The
new units, however, will be subject to

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"
