CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM.

That medical scientists have just dis
covered that uric acid and exposure are
not the primary causes of rheumatism
as has been believed for the past cen.
fury, was statement made "Wednesday
BY Or. Fl. E. Peterman, head physician
of the South Baltimore Eye, Ear, Nose
and Throat Hospital and member OF
the faculty OF the Baltimore Medical
College, to scientific meeting of the
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty in
Osler Hall, Baltimore. He then stated
that OF the primary cause of nearly all
cases rheumatism are tonsils. When
the tonsils are removed the rheumatism
disappears.
DR.. Peterman, who is we'll known
among the medical profession OF Baiti-
more. told OF six cases of rheumatism
that be had treated recently, all Of
which we're cured by removing the ton
sis. His address was of a technical
nature, but those who heard it listened
intently until the end.
DIR Peterman said that it was unWise
to remove the tonsils from child
under the age Of six years. The tonsil
plays an important function in the
human system, he said, until the child
has passed the half-a- dozen-year mark,
and then becomes useless. 10 some
persons the tonsls dry up and entirely
disappear before they reach the age
of 81 years. In others, however, the
tonsils remain as large as they first
we're, aud some few become greatly
enlarged. In the natural course of time
the tonsils become diseased. The
majority Of tonsils that do not dis
appear become diseased, and it is then
that the trouble starts.
The germ OF rheumatism has never
been successfully isolated, he con-
tinued, and therefore but little about
it could be learned. 1t was the COM
mon belief that uric acid was the
main cause of rheumatism. DR..
Peterman pointed out that the acid
may be contributing cause, but
the germ enters the system through
the diseased tonsil. Furthermore,
the germ. mult;plies in the tonsil and
if it is removed the germ is removed.
Not having a base, the germs that
have entered the body and caused
the rheumatism will be expelled and
the patient will suffer no more. 1t is,
OF course, impossible to cure a case OF
rheumatism where the tissues have
been destroyed. That is, case OF
long standing, during which the
patient has suffered change in mus
Gle tissue. The ordinary case of rheu-
matism, however. in the majority OF
cases, said DR.. Peterman, can be cured
by the simple operation OF removing
the tonsils.

THROWN BY ELECTRICITY
Fireman Mcdonald Had a Tussle With
Current Last Evening.

The fire department was called out by
still alarm al 1880 o'clock last evening
for blaze i'm the Transformer house
Of the Consolidated Lighting company
on North Main street near Blackwell
street. The blaze was started by a
wire becoming grounded causing n wire
70 burn on in the house. The ere was
all confined 10 wire. and no damage
was done.
Fireman James Mcdonald had an ex-
nerienee at the building that be does
not care TO have repeated on him again.
When the dremen arrived, the door to
the building was locked and fireman
Mcdonald went ia one Of the windows
and pricd 10 open with an iron bar.
After nc had raised the window q lit
tIe he stuck the bar through and start
ed to push the window clear mp. The
end Of the bar struck a wire inside the
building and instantly the fireman was
thrown several feet by an electric
shock TIE was uniniured however,
though the current was 50 hot that it
seorchcd the end Of his fingers. The
fire necessitated the shutting of of
lights for a time.
