Your Hea THE FIRST CONCERN Infected Teeth and Tonsils Cause Rheumatic Pains By Morris Fishburn Editor, Journal of the American Medi- cal Association, and of Hygeia the Health Magazine. Today medical investigators are giving more attention to rheumatism and rheumatic disorders than ever before in the history of medical science. There are clinics in every large medical center for studying and treating this disease. One of the reasons for this atten- tion, as pointed out by Dr. Ralph Pemberton, is the realization of the fact that pain in the joints and in the muscles and many of the other conditions generally classified as rheumatic are responsible for a tremendous amount of disability in industrial workers and that the cost is a great economic problem, In true scientific medicine, the method of attack on the disease is first to discover the cause and then to attempt to eliminate the cau.e rather than to treat the symptoms. Of course, a competent physician can relieve the patient of his pain and give him back the function of his limbs by the use of appropriate remedies while attempts are being made to discover the exact causes. It is already recognized that a tendency to this disorder may run in families, because certain types of people are more frequently attacked by the disease than others. It is recognized that the condition is not merely inflammation in one joint, but that profound changes take place throughout the human body, affecting the blood, the other fluids in the body, and tissues sometimes far removed from the spot in which the pain is localized. For years it has been understood that infection in the teeth and in the tonsils might be responsible for getting up inflammation far distant. It is now recognized that these fac- tors are of the greatest importance and should be controlled when pres- ent, but that infections may 80 exist in other parts of the body and be directly related to pains in the The highly important part played plants is graphically shown in the One of the pictures shows how par from freight cars within the ‘he various assembly lines.

D. and the burden lowered by cutting down the intake of food, particular- ly substances which are difficult to digest, there comes not infrequently improvement in the rheumatic con- dition. | It is thus obvious that there is no single cure for arthritis to be found in a bottle of any kind of medicine, but that every patient with the disease must be studied as In some form gout is almost as common today in America as it used to be in England. It is due, not so much to excessive beef eat- ing as to overeating in general. As a matter of fact, any diet rich in foods containing what scien- tists call “purines” may be harmful to a person who has a tendency to gout. The purines are chemical compounds found in the tissues of a unit and treated according to the condition which exists in him plants and animals. as an individual rather than in all Uric acid is an example.

Not so very long ago there | was very little accurate knowledge | about rheumatism and its causes, It was generally supposed to afflict only the aged, and to be caused by exposure to wet and cold. Today, physicians know that it! attacks even the youngest children, and that it is a sign of some in- fection in the system. What used to be known as “growing pains” in children are now reco as ptoms of rheumatism. Rheumatism is an inflammation of | the muscles or joints. In any form | it is an uncomfortable ailment. In-' deed, it can be the most painful | of ailments. Rheumatic fever is an acute form | of rheumatism. Not only is the pain quite terrible, but there is danger of the heart being involved. This is what makes rheumatic fever dangerous for a child. One eminent physician has said | mankind sweetbreads, brain and kidneys are rich in purines. Beef contains less than half as large a percentage of purines as liver. In the acute attack of gout the patient should be put to hed and kept quiet. kept warm. Simple diet, rest and quiet are the particular things which will give relief. A doctor should have oversight of the sufferer, There are certain kidney troubles which are traced to gout. Skinand eye troubles are among its com- plications. Certain mineral waters have long been considered useful. Electricity, light and heat, when rightfully em- ployed, help a good deal. Strapping an inflamed joint with adhesive does much to ease the pain. The victim should take warning from the least touch of gout.

Thomas Nast, a famous cartoonist, who lived from 1840 to 1902, was the originator of both the donkey and the elephant as symbals of the major political parties. The Democratic donkey was the earliest of these symbols— though it , was not originally intended to rep-' | resent the party as a whole, but | that part of it which was engaged Edwin | Stanton, Secretary of War, | ceremonies | | attacking the memory of even while the funeral were being held for him. The car- toon in which Nast first employed the symbol was a small one pub- lished in Harper's Weekly for Jan- uary 15, 1870, and which was a reference to that situation. It was labeled. “A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion,” and the jackass tagged “Copperhead Press.” The elephant originated at a time when rant was an important topic of the ay. | Nast published also in Harper's Weekly, but four years later, ember 7, 1874. Democratic publica- tions were raising arguments ‘against such an event as a third i term for Grant, and Nast summed {up the situation in a cartoon show- | ing the assembled animals of the | forest as representing various pa- | pers. States and issues, frightened 'by a donkey in a lion's skin, ing Caesarism. The elephant, which 18 labeled “The Republican Vote,” is | frightened also, and is running to- ward a pitfall loosely covered with deceptive planks, Under the car- toon is this quotation: “An ass, having put on the lion's skin, roamed about in the forest, and amused himself by frightening | all the foolish animals he met with- | in his wanderings—Shakespeare Or Bacon.” Other cartoonists adopted Nast’s symbols, and in a short time they | attained their present universal use. i: The origin of the eagle as a Re- publican Party emblem is not quite | 80 clear. It is, of course, a common symbol of freedom and power. The rooster as a Democratic em- | blem, originated in Greenfield, Han- cock county, Indiana, in 1840. It was used as a local allusion to a loyal and boastful Democrat, and then, by gradual extension, to the Indiana Democracy, and ultimately to that of the entire Nation.

In good times or bad we must have beauty and all that goes to it's making. Even the women in the Commu- nist ranks go into battle with the police well armed with powder, lip- stick and rouge.
