Neuralgia.

, Neuralgia means nerve pain.
. Neuritis means Inflammation Of
. the nerve. In neuralgia the pain
D comes and goes. In neuritis the
, ache is steady and sticks closely
> to the affected nerve. If the
, nerve could be taken out and ex-
, amined we could find nothing
, abnormal in the case Of neural
, gia. In neurids the nerve would
, be found to be inf1amed The
, question of what Is behind the
, pain Of neuralgia Is more impor-
tant than the answer to the cry
for relief. It must be remem-
bered that neuralgia Is merely q
, symptom. not q disease. Some
times malaria Is the underlying
cause. Other times Il may DO
, due to alcoholism, diabetes, lead
} poisoning. govt, rheumatism or
, Brtght's disease. A diseased
} tooth or q diseased ovary may
Be responsible. In every case
