Appendicitis: The Etiology, Hygenic and Dietetic Treatment

J. H. Tilden

Tilden blamed appendicitis on the dinner table. His chapters press a hygienic and dietetic treatment, arguing that what and how a patient eats decides the outcome more surely than the surgeon does. A contrarian document from medicine's turbulent turn of the century, best read now as history. Visit the ward where diet was the whole prescription.
