CHAPEIL HILL — A disease
once considered as odd, rare and
bizarre will be brought to the at
tention of practicing physicians
at a nine-county medical meet
ing in RutherfordtSon on Wednes
day (March 30).
Dr. Elam C. Toone Jr., profes
sor of medicine and chief of the
Section on Connective Tissue Dis
eases at the Medical College of
Virginia, will report to doctors
that systemic lupus erythe-matous
—a disease of unknown cause—
isi more common than commonly
believed.
The disease is more subtle and
complex than a blotchy skin rash
and is capable of. affecting a
great number of women in the
child-bearing age. It is tricky be
cause itmimics other diseases
and it becomes a major health
problem when the kidneys are
affected.
Dr. Toone will explain the
treatment for patients with lupus
erythematous in an after-dinner
talk at 7:15 p.m.
Earlier, at 5 p.m., he will dis
cuss rheumatoid arthritis, a dis
ease often neglected by doctors
and frequently afflicted with the
negative attitude that nothing
can 'be done about it. This atti
tude has helped quackery to flou
rish in the treatment of rheuma
toid arthritis.
The meeting, the fifth in a
series, of six, is a postgraduate
course in medicine for practicing
physicians in Buncombe, Burke,
Cleveland, Gaston,. Henderson,
