INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM.
Something About This Dreaded and
Generally Unfamiliar Malady.
From the Youths Companion.


The name rheumatism is applied to a
great variety Of affections accompanied
with pain in the joints muscles, some OF
them more Of a equity or uric acid nature
others probably of infectious origin, and
others still the expression of some disease
of the nervous structures.
Acute articular. or inflammatory, rheuma
tlsm is disease characterized by pain and
swelling in one or more of the joints, usual
ly the larger ones. such as the knee, to-
gether with fever of more or less intensity.
1t Is a disease of temperate climates es-
peclally in cold and damp regions being
very seldom seen in the tropics. 1t occurs
in this country chiefly in late winter and
early spring, although 1t may occur. par
tfcularly on the seacoast at any time of the
year. In England it is said to be most fire.
quent in the autumn.
1t attacks persons between the ages CT
fifteen and forty more commonly than those
who older or younger.
Physicians are not yet agreed as to Its
nature, although many now incline to re-
gard it as germ disease. 1t begins grad
ually, with slight aching in the limbs sore
throat and general feeling of depression.
The appetite fails, the tongue is heavily
coated often there is complaint of mead
ache and of chilly sensations, and the suf-
ferer is generally "out of sorts.' There is
feverishness, and as this increases. pain and
swelling appear in one or more of the large
joints. The joints attacked are hot, red
and exqulSitely paln1ul, and have every
appearance of being severely inflamed.
All these symptoms may disappear in q
single night from one joint and appear at
the same time in another; and SO the dis
ease may go on, attacking one joint after
another, those first affected recovering
much of their tone and function. One of
the characteristic symptoms is profuss per-
spiration; the skin is not red and dry, as in
most fevers, but cool, moist and sometimes
actually dripping with sweat.
The disease may come to an end In week
or ten days, or it may go on attacking cont
after joint, and when all have suffered 1t
may begin over again. and SO go on indef-
ritely. AS long as the rheumatism is con-
fined to the joints there is little danger, al
though occasionally death results from ex-
cessive fever: but there is always danger
that it may attack the lining membrane of
the heart and cripple the organ permanent
ly. Rarely it attacks the membrane of the
brain, causing violent delirium or death.

but stockings. Ah, yes, stockings gs--why
not? Peggies all wore stockings, and sud-

go down the stocking counter aisle after all
Stockin's 1t is. then.' he said, trampins
away in that direction.
But just at the turn he looked down the
aisle and uttered a low murmur of aston
ishment. He could scarcely credit his eyes
He was getting old, and they might be fall
ing him; But nearer yet the vision was the
same. He knew it was Peggy behind the
stocking counter. Peggy! He stood and
watched her. She was waiting on a Gus
toner, and did not see him. Her face was
a little pale and weary. but she smiled in
gratiatingly and twirled the stockings about
kind.
Peggy! In an instant it was all clear to
him. He knew it was to Peggy he owed his
beautiful two weeks of rest. It was Peggy's
doings.
He felt an irresistible impulse to vault
over the counter like boy and take Peggy
into his arms. The sly. little harum-scarum
girl. to cheat her old daddy! He wanted to
squeeze her pale little face between his
palms and kiss 1t hundred times He
wanted to scold her, and thank her. and get
her away from that place. The stocking
counter at Bruce's was no place for blithe
little Peggy.
The customer was turning away and
Peggy was putting back the boxes. Even
from that distance daddy could see that
she put one in the wrong place.
In the moment Of starting down the aisle
he changed his mind. An instructive deli
cacy restrained him. and he hurried around
the corner out of sight.
No, he would not spoil Peggy's little
scheme. She would like 1t better to have
1t go on uninterrupted. Peggy was "trav-
