Inflammation of the appendix resulting from the excessive accumulation and retention of waste matter
in the colon. The appendix is a gland, the secretion
of which is intended to neutralize excessive
putrefaction and pathogenic bacterial action in the
colon, or large intestine, which might have injurious
repercussion in the small, or digestive intestine. To
avoid unnecessary surgery, satisfactory results have
been obtained by colonic irrigations, where
available, and enemas in any case, at 15 to 30 minute
intervals, until the elimination of waste matter
removed danger and pain. Consult a doctor familiar
with Nature's purpose in furnishing us with this
protective gland.
