RACKS THE JOINTS NIGHTLY.


En6am matory Rheumatism Is a Com.
plaint No One Need Covet.
! The name rheumatism is applied to
great variety Of affections accOmpan-
led with pain in the joints or muscles,
some Of them more Of q gouty or uric
acid nature, others probably of infec-
tous origin, and others still the express
sion of some disease Of the nervous
structures.
Acute articular or inf1ammatory rheu-
matism is a disease characterized by
pain and swelling in one or more of the
joints, usually the larger bones, such
as the knee, together with fever OF
more or less intensity. It Is disease
Of temperate climates, especially IN
cold and damp regions, being very sell
dom seen in the tropics. 1t occurs In
this country chiefly in late winter and
early spring, although it may occur,
particularly on the seacoast, at any
time Of the year. In England 1t Is
said to be most frequent in the autumn
It attacks persons between the ages
Of 15 and 40 more commonly than those
who are older or younger.
Physicians are not yet agreed as TO
its nature, although many now incline
to regard it as a germ disease. 1t be-
gins gradually, with slight aching IN
the limbs, sore throat and a general
feeling of depression. The appetite
fails, the tongue is heavily coated, often
there is complaint Of headache, and OF
chilly sensations and the sufferer Is
generally ''out Of sorts" There is few.
erishness, and as this increases, pain
and swelling appear in one or more OF
the large joints. The joints attacked
are hot, red and exquisitely painful and
have every appearance of being severe
ly inflamed.
All these symptoms may disappear In
a single night from one joint and ap,
pear at the same time in another; and
SO the disease may go on, attacking
one joint after another, those first af,
fected recovering much of their tone
and function. One Of the characters.
tic symptoms is profuse perspiration;
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 q
week or ten days. or it may go on at.
tacking joint after joint and when all
have suffered it may begin over again
and so go on indefinitely. AS long as
the rheumatism is confined to the
joints there is little danger, although
occasionally death results from exces.
sive fever; but there is always danger
that it may attack the lining membrane
of the heart and cripple the organ per
manently. Rarely it attacks the mem
brane of the brain, causing violent de.
lirium or death.-Youth's Companion.
