Skin Disorders
Usually Curable;
Need Treatment
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON !
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.
