IIKE many other physicians I ?d have repeated the old story about the skin specialist who jokingly made the statement that he had I-~~~~" chosen to be a TODAY'S skin specialist be- II CI IT If cause his patients ntnLI D never got him up COLUMN at night, never l?? died, and never got well. The idea of repeating the story was to show that skin ailments were often difficult to cure and re quired much patience from patient and physician. That the repeating,of this joke has really done harm is stated by Prof. Carroll S. Wright 6f Temple university, Philadelphia, as guest editor in Medical World. ? I nave aciuauy, on numerous occa sions, had patients inform me that they understood that skin diseases, for the most part, are in curable, and a phy sician once told me that he had no in terest in treating pa tients with akin dis eases when even a skin specialist ad mitted that 'they Dr. Barton never got well.' " It can be understood then why patients with skin ailments will often neglect to undergo treatment if they believe it to be just a waste of time and money. May Be Serious. In answer to this old joke, Dr. Wright states that as a matter of fact he has been roused from bed by skin patients with severe pain, has seen patients die because of -skin ailments, and fortunately the great majority of skin ailments "are entirely curable or can be greatly benefited by persistent medical ef forts." The eight most common skin ail ments in a series of nearly 1,000,000 cases, in the order they occur, ap pear to be eczema, acne (pimples),* scabies (itch), psoriasis (white) patches of silvery scales), seborrhea (dandruff), urticaria (hives), der matitis venenata (inflammation due to touching substances of a chem ical, vegetable or animal nature), and verruca (warts). Figures from the private practice of Dr. Jay F. Schamberg and Dr. Wright show ringworm to be as common as eczema. Dr. Wright points out that the above diseases can be helped by treatment although the disease may return because the cause is not and perhaps cannot be entirely removed. In order, then, that patients and physicians will get away from the idea that skin diseases cannot be cured. Dr. Wright says: "It is my belief that the results of treatment in skin diseases are at least equal, if not superior, to those achieved in other specialties." ? ? ? Rheumatism Result Of Many Causes Although rheumatism or arthritis is as old as man, it is only during the last 25 years that a knowledge o( its cause, the damage it does and how best to treat it has become known. Figures prove that every body past 50 years ot age has arthri tis to a less or greater degree. Just as with other ailments, rheu matism or arthritis can only attack the individual if his tissues are in the necessary condition to develop rheumatism. And his tissues are put into this condition by infection of tonsils, teeth or other organs, which is carried to the joint and its surrounding tissues. Other causes which put his tissues into condition to develop rheumatism are cold and wet (indoor and out), changes in glands, overweight and underweight, injuries, poor posture?position sit ting and standing, physical defects in spine, hips, shoulders and occu pation. If one or more of these con ditions is present in addition to the infection, a more rapid and more serious arthritis may follow. "An adult complaining of pain, stiffness and disability In one or more joints which came on without causing much thought on the part of the patient and which progresses slowly may be assumed to be suffer ing with chronic arthritis. Remove Infection 8onrce. "There are the two types, atrophic (where joint actually loses tissue) and the hyperatrophic (where there is extra tissue?bone and gristle? formed in and around the joint)." After removal of the cause?infect ed teeth, tonsils?any defects in the patient or his surroundings are cor rected such as avoiding cold and dampness, then the usual treat ment is rest, heat, passive or active exercise, together with a diet con taining plenty of fruit and vege tables but cutting down greatly on starch foods?bread, potatoes, sugar and to some extent also on fat foods ?butter, cream, egg yolks and fat meat. Treatment may be necessary for a long time after cause has been removed because of the need tor better circulation to remove wastes from joints and surrounding tissues. CoprnshL-WKP
