By Dr. Morris Fishbein
Editor, Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
The human body is a complicated
mechanism through which the blood
circulates.
The nervous system is co-ordinated
through the spinal cord and the
brain. Hence a
of the body may be the manifesta-
tion of something seriously wrong
in some other part, exactly as a bell
ringing on the second floor of a
house may indicate that a burglar
is trying to enter a basement win-
dow.
In a recent survey of the general
subject of rheumatism, Pr. J.J. J
Gira'2i, associated with a center for
research in diseases of the heart in
Bristol, England, describes a large
number of cases of acute rheumatic
conditions in which the first symp-
toms of importance were related to
the abdomen rather than to the
joints or to the heart, as is quite
commonly expected.
Thus in four cases concerning
boys and girls between the ages of
9 and 18, the first symptoms of
rheumatic fever were severe ab-
dominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea,
followed within a very few months
by the development of murmur in
the heart and later by pains in the
limbs and all of the symptoms of
acute rheumatism.
A study of medical literature re-
veals that these symptoms have
been described by medical investi-
gators as far back as 1635 and that
a series of studies of these symp-
toms were made in 1894 by several
physicians. .
om etimes the pains are related
particularly to the appendix, and it
seems possible that the rheumatic
infection may on ocassion manifest
itself first in a severe form of ap-
pendicitis. On the other hand, it is
quite possible that a severe rheu-
matic infection of the hip joint may
cause pains which are much like
those occurring in appendicitis.
Sir James MacKenzie, noted
British investigator of diseases of
the heart, emphasized repeatedly the
importance of detecting the earliest
possible symptoms of disease in or-
der to accomplish what may be ac-
complished for its prevention and for
its control.
It would seem to be especially
importance of detecting the earliest
of severe abdominal pain, with
but little other noticeable cause for
the pain, be watched more carefully
thereafter for the earliest signs of
rheumatic conditions, particularly
those affecting the heart.
HOT PACKS AND REST OFTEN BRINGS
RELIEF FROM PAINS IN LEGS
The majority of people with
sciatica or sciatic neuralgia are men
between the ages of thirty and six-
ty.
People who have this disease suf-
fer from severe pain wkich may be-

There
however, cases in which removal of
visible infections in the nose
throat and the teeth have brought
about some relief from the sciatica.
Certainly one of the most valuable
methods of help to a person with
this condition is application of heat
to the region affected. Unquestion-
ably the person does better if he is
able to lie quietly in bed and not to
exercise the affected tissues.
Unfortunately far too often these
eople fall into the hands of ‘“rub-
rs” or manipulators who vibrate
or massage the affected portion of
the body and thereby make the
condition worse instead of better.
One of the certain methods of
controlling the pain in this condition
is to inject about the affected nerve
a solution of some substance which
will successfully block off the pass-
of the pain sensation along
the nerve. The procedure is a tech-
nical one which must be carried out
ba competent physician. The sub-
ances used include salt solution,
water, local anesthetic substances, or
various other chemicals.
In an earlier day it was quite
customary to attempt to stretch the
nerve by manipulation of the tissue,
but this measure has been discard-
ed because of a large number of
failures compared with the possible
successes resulting from its use.

the world. If the child is sufficient-
ly immune to smallpox, the second
vaccination will probably not take
and the result will merely be a lit-
tle red spot on the arm for a day
or two.
The United States Public Health
Service also recommends immuniza-
tion against diphtheria by the use
of toxoid or of toxin-antitoxin. The
period for this immunization is pref-
erably the time known as the pre-
school age, although it is quite pos-
sible to immunize the child at a
much earlier age. The injections
given between the age of one and
two years of age will make it pos-
sible for the child to enter kinder-
garten or even attend nursery school
with the knowledge that it has been
protected against the possibility of
diphtheria.
The other conditions with which
mothers are especially interested are
scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever,
sarly this year.
A transmitting station similar tu
chose used in trans-Atlantic telephone
! gervice is to be built at Dixon, near
Sacramento. The receiving station
will be at Point Reyes, on the Cali-
fornia coast north of San Francisco.
Initially the radio channels will be
connected with the facilities of the
Mutual Telephone Company of Ha-
waii., The Bell System proposes
eventually to establish circuits to
Japan, Australia, the Philippines and
Alaska, as well as ships at sea.

Scarlet fever is not nearly so vice is the longest ever established for

principally of two radio links, one
across the Atlantic to England and
the other from Engiand to Australia.
With the wire lines involved in a con-
nection between New York and Syd-
ney, the circuit is more than 14,000
miles long.

that children be immunized against
this disease only when there is,
likelihood of an epidemic or when
the child has been exposed to the
disease by contact with someone
who has it.
In the case of measles, a serum
taken from those who have recov-
