Placidity and politeness distinguish most U. S. college newspapers. Mostly they serve merely as bulletins of local events, enlivened only by such glimpses of the outside world as the Harvard Crimson offered last week: a boxed, front-paged prediction that the Cardinals would beat the Athletics, signed by one "Hu Flung Huey."

A mistake in diagnosis may result from the presence of colic of the bile or of the kidneys, inflammation of the kidneys, stricture of the right ureter (through which the right kidney drains into the bladder). Diseases of women's sexual apparatus may act like appendicitis. Especially confusing in this respect is menstrual colic, from which many a flabby and nervous woman suffers. And infections of the intestines may spread...
