Appendicitis.

During the course of an attack of appendicitis, I advise that the patient have absolutely no food by the mouth, until the temperature and pulse are about normal. My experience teaches me that no cathartics which will disturb the parts which we seek to put to rest, should be given after the intestinal canal is once properly cleansed.
