went over n of It's paws. 1t howied
most piteously. and some farriers who
were at work In a shop close by came
out to see what was the matter. One
OF them, ~perceiving that the poor thing
was hurt, took him up, dressed his
paw and wrapped 1t up, after which
he let him go.
The dog went home, where he re-
manned during some days, but at
length, his paw becoming painful
again, he returned to the MAN and,
holding it up, moaned to show that
It panied him. The man dressed 1t
again, and the dog, after licking his
hand to show his gratitude, returned to
his home, where he oon grew we'll.

The eustachian tube, leading from

tubes are prevented. This leads to deaf

A Touch of Rheumatism

I rheumatism, he is not necessarily to
be regarded as seriously i'll, he has
to bear in mind that if he de-
velops real rheumatism he may fare
rather badly, and his state may actu-
| ally favor and encourage attack.
Obviously, a man with a tendency to
rheumatics is more likely, everything
considered, to be seized with the
serious trouble than another, who is
not of rheumatic habit at all
The real gist of all advice regarding
rheumatism is that we should en-
deavor to rid ourselves of the ten
dency to develop aches and pains
Now, the general cause of rheumatism
is well known. 1t represents a state
brought about by a special state Of
the system, the chief feature of which
is a tendency to develop an excess of
acid. In govt it may be mentioned
another and different substance (uric
acid is the cause of the trouble
Tactic acid is one of the waste pro-
ducts of our body. 1t is given OF,
for example, by the skin, and, so far
is a perfectly natural form of bodily
wear and tear. But if, from one cause
or another, the Tactic acid is not got
rid of, or, which amounts to much the
same thing, if it is produced in ex-
cess in the body, then rheumatism de-
velops. The fact that rheumatic
troubles often follow a skin chill
seems to be explained on the ground
that the skins work is interrupted
and Tactic acid tends to accumulate in
the blood Then, as this acid is spe-
cially produced by our muscular work,
we can see how and why the muscles
and joints are affected. They become
loaded with the acid which should
have been removed and so rheumat-
ism symptoms appear.
The conditions, therefore, which
mostly tend to favor the touch OF
rheumatism" are cold and chills acting
on the skin, and also errors in diet,
or rather, a mode of living which,
while it may suit a perfectly healthy
man, is unfavorable to the man in
clined toward rheumatism. What
people so troubled should do is: First,
to clothe warmly and to be careful of
the skin and its functions, Nobody
in this climate can afford to go with
out wooden underclothing, for ex-
ample, which will absorb perspiration
and prevent chill.
Then the diet is of great impor-

BY w. A. MAYsoN, M. D.


The expression which forms the
title of this article is one heard very
frequently amongst us in the cold
season of the year. 1t is a common
saying when discussing their health
with people who are by no means i'll,
nevertheless feel that they are not al
together well. They will tell you that
damp weather seems to affect them
very powerfully, and that it brings
back to them flying pains in their
limbs, with a stiffness in their mus
Giles.
Others again complain of Lains in
their joints, the knee or the Shout
or two at a time they suffer from
twinges. Some cases go further
than this. They show general pain
all over the body, with a slight rise
of the temperature and a diminution
of the work of the kidneys.
Sometimes people suffer from these
winter. They are not always aching,
for bright or dry days cause them to
feel better and their pains leave them.
The damp, raw days bring the pains
back, and the joints and muscles eX-
hibit twinges and aches, and so this
state of matters persists till warmer
weather comes. These are the people
who tell you, and quite correctly, too,
that they have a touch of rheumatism.
Now, rheumatism is a very serious
trouble, and in it's acute form is call
ed rheumatic fever. This last is an
ailment that cripples many a man,
and not only because it may give rise
to pain and joint troubles, but be-
cause it often leaves serious heart
troubles behind it, more esI ecially Il
treatment has not bren properly com
menced. 1t is not the acute form Of
rheumatism with which l am dealing
today. The touch" of the trouble
that the people complain of is not
the acute variety, it does not declare
itself as a fever; and it effects the
muscles more decidedly than the
joints. This is why some people
speak of it as muscular rheumatism
and lumbago stiff neck, and a stitch
in the side mot pleurisy, of coursel,
are conditions which are all relative
in their nature to the rheumatic
symptoms and complaint we are dis
cussing.
What is important for us to note is
that, while a man has his touch OF

lance. Great meat eaters and beer
drinkers are exactly the people rheu-
matism marks out for it's own; there
fore, it is clear, a diet with little meat
and consisting of fish, tripe, fowl,
milk, cereals and fruit is to be recon-
mended Tea and coffee had better
be limited, cocoa being preferable,
and eggs and salt foods should be
given up if any symptoms be repre-
scented. Above all the skin must be
made to act, but chill to be guarded
against, of course A Turkish bath
now and then is excellent. Hot salt
water baths, which can be made at
home by dissolving salt in the water
or typically brine baths are excellent
when pains are experienced. Ale and
stout are poisons to rheumatism, but
lager beer can often be taken without
bad effects. Lemon juice and soda
make an excellent beverage for rheu-
matte people. The state of the bow
els is important, and a little citrate of
magnesia may be taken daily on ris-
ing in plenty of cold water, if need
exists for an aperient.
Drugs are useful in many cases,
but the main treatment of the rheu-
matte habit is the regulation of the
diet on the lines l have indicated

The only way to induce people to
do better is to show them that it is
to their interest. Scolding rarely, If
ever, does any good. The campaign of
education in sanitation must be car

ground is convinced that the health
and even the lives of himself and his
loved ones depend on keeping the

and are today in Galveston, inspecting
new buildings in process Of construc-
ton. The object of the trip is to let
the students see actual building work
in course of construction, which gives
them chance to learn some things
that neither books nor instructors can
teach Among the boys of the party
are Quinlan Adams and Dick Griffin,
of Bryan.

students, under the guidance of Prof.

department, is touring the cities of

plants. Among these is j. S. Cavitt

These tours are made by the stu.
dents at their own expense, and it is
unfortunate that some of their class.
mates were not financially able to af-
ford the outlay. The state ought to
provide expense money for such ex-
cursions. Not to do so gives the we'll
