As there was extreme tenderness over Mr. Burney's point with tympanites, colicky pain and vomiting, pulse 120, temperature 102 F., nothing was thought of this pain, but a diagnosis of acute catarrhal appendicitis was made and immediate operation advised.Operation.  —Under ether SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1909.92550070031003d UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1909.92550070031003d ER -
