H. KELLOGG, M. D LL. D. PEOPLE who use their hands a great deal, especially writers and ofnee people, nre often subject to rlrango movements of the nature of Irregular cramps, or tpasmn. This may be so Berlous as to make It Impossible for tho Individual to contlnuo action Involving these muscles. This condition Is usually known ns "urlferV rrnmn." niul fconietlmCS aS "Mrlvener'n nalsy." It Is a condition,! moreover, that Is often found among violin plavers, among whom It Is known ns violinists' cramp, whllo also we have pianists' cramp, milkmaids' cramp and tailors' cramp. In New England cities, where young girls work at machinery and do the same thing under high ten sion for a long time, there has devel oped peculiar cramps and weaknesses In certain muscles due to overexerclse. All of these conditions are due to the excessive use of certain groups of mus cles and tho overuse of certain nerv centers, which form part of tbe nervous s stem Doctor Osier reports Investigations of soventy-flve cases of Impaired writing power In which all of tho Instances of undoubted writers' cramp were In tncn. He nlo finds that In the United Statei "telegraphers' cramp" Is much less com mon among women only four out of forty-three cases, to be exact Persons of a nervous temperament are more liable to the disease. Occasionally It follows slight Injury. In one Investigation it was found that In a majority of the cises a faulty method of writing had been employed, cither the little finger or the wrist being used as the fixed point. Persons who write with the middle of tho forearm or the elbow as a. fixed point are rarely affected. . Doctor Osier slates that no anatomical changes have been found. The most rea sonable explanation ot tne aiseaao that It results from a deranged action of the nerve centers presiding over the muscular movements Involved in mo act of writing, a condition which has been termed Irritable weakners The most Important symptom Is cramp or spasm, affecting the fourth finger and thumb. Or this may take the form of a combined movement of bentllng and straightening of the thumb, a movement that may release the pen from the grasp and throw It some dis tance. What Is called a "lock spasm" has also been known, a condition In which the fingers contract so firmly about the pen that It cannot be released. Almost al ways there Is a tired feeling present in the muscles. It Is very seldom that there Is pain, however, though numbness and even soreness may be present, ns also shooting pains In tho arm. Rest Is the most Important treatment, In the moro advanced enses this should mean cessation from the use of the hand for the time being. The fact that the typew titer has come Into almost univer sal use Indicates that a great deal can be accomplished by giving the hands a complete rest from the cramping grasp which use of the pen Involves Rest also means that for the time being one should get plenty ot sleep at least nine hours going to bed early and rising late, with midday naps. This Is usually better than going to bed and staying thete. A few hours spent out doors each day will also help to tone tho- nerves. Strenuous exercise out doors Is not called for, but, rather gentle exercise like walking, or lying outdoors In the sunshine. Often It will be found that a mod ification of one's habits of writing will relieve the pain. Many people In writ ing depend too much upon flifger move, ment. It has been said by competent authorities that If people wrote entirely from the shoulder, there would be no such thing as writers' cramp. For this reason we might say that every one should substitute for the finger move ment what Is known as the "free arm" movement of writing. Gentle massage of the fingers nnd arm may also be adopted. This will best be given by a massage expert, and should not be attempted by oneself un less he Is an experienced masseur. Alternate hot and cold applications to the upper spine, also to the affected hand and arm dally or even twice dally will give much relief; also the galvanic current of electricity, applying the posi tive current to tho hand and arm and tho negative to the upper spine. This should be applied by a physician dally. Winter Itch The last four jeara I, have had a rash break out every fall aa Boon aa cold weather comes. It disappears In the aprlng.
