Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...to here bring together certain of the more important sequelae. Peritonitis.--It is only through its close association with the peritoneum that the inflammatory affections of the vermiform appendix are brought into a position of first importance. Were it not for the frequency of peritoneal involvement, appendicitis would probably be of but little importance clinically and of but slight interest pathologically. This peritonitis may be acute or chronic in progress, diffuse or localised in extent, and sero-fibrinous or suppurative in character. Sometimes it is of a peculiarly malignant septic type.

Of these 124 cases of acute2 peritonitis, 94 occurred among 597 "surgical" cases, 30 among 2,259 "medical " cases. As regards sex, 84 were males, 40 females. The cases may be thus grouped: --1 Medical Chronicle, July, 1892, p. 220. 'In these returns, only acute cases have been included.
