Excerpt from The Appendix Vermiformis, Its Function, Pathology and Treatment, And, the Diagnosis of Pericaecal Abscess, and Its Treatment by Removal of the Appendix Vermiformis: Read in Section on Surgery at the Thirty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association, Cincinnati, May 8, 1888

Anatomists have devoted themselves through all time, to determining the use of the parts which they de scribed, and demonstrating their mechanism. Al though they have satisfied us,as to an infinity ofinterest ing objects by which medicine has profited, it is neces sary to admit that they have not yet discovered all, and that there are some parts the use of which is but little known. Since all that has been said upon the use of the appendix of the caecum does not. Explain the changes and variations to which this part is subject, and is hardly in accord with the arrangement or the function of organs to which this body appears to be destined, might we not advance what has not been guessed heretofore, viz., to determine the true desti nation of it. Supported by Observation, I shall try to do it, although the result may appear to have but little interest but it is important always to know what it is, if only to satisfy our curiosity.
