During the summer of 1933 a frantic debility manifested itself in Her Royal Highness Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood, only daughter of King George and Queen Mary. Physicians noted a toxemia which they believed due to a focal infection in her appendix. Sir Frederick Stanley Hewett, Surgeon Apothecary to the King, had a complete surgical unit set up in Princess Mary's Mayfair home, and there the following November her appendix was removed. One of the consultants in the case was Dr. Louis Francis Reobuck Knuthsen, a West Indian who achieved eminence as a London skin specialist...
With Pete Ward unable to box for the rest of the season because of his appendix, and with Walter Crampton, also a 135-pounder, out with a wrenched ankle, the lineup for the Army meet on Saturday will receive a considerable shift. Ward's loss comes as a major setback, especially since the two hardest contests of the season come within the next two weeks. Rated as the classiest intercollegiate boxer in this section, he has lost just one collegiate bout in three years of competition, that to Louis Wertheimer of Syracuse, the intercollegiate champion...

When he goes after an appendix, a ruptured spleen, a gall bladder, a twisted or telescoped bowel or a cancered stomach, he never knows at what moment the sewage system of the human body may, for all his skill, spring a leak, with disastrous results...
...operation that any important fellow of the American College of Surgeons would like to have among his case records was the appendectomy which unpretentious Drs. John Walmsley Barnaby Jr. and T. W. Griffin performed in Baltimore last week on Marcia Shepherd's 30-minute-old baby. The appendix and a knuckle of bowel projected through a rupture in the infant's abdominal wall. That hole the surgeons also mended, then placed the tiny patient in an incubator to recuperate...
...that Richberg is now Washington's No. 1 man. Tugwell fades into the violet distance as his ship fast approaches foreign shores. General Johnson's resignation was probably necessary for the reorganization of the Brain Truster's most lusty child--NRA--now designated NRB after the removal of its appendix (A). The net result of its new democratic set-up is that business men will now have to deal with three department instead of one. The NRB now has an imposing front but it is probably that Richberg will make all final decisions...
