Noisy Joints.

This time o year Johnny has rea-
son for dragging his feet and making
50 much noise when he walks across
the floor He still has on his winter
underwear. Some people are involun-
tarily noisy in walking, some achieve
Il loud ambulation, but this consul
tation is about those who have arthri-
tic (not arthritis) creakings, click
ings. snappings. gratings, equeakings
and other obstreperous accompani-
ments thrust upon their merest stir
rings.
First the gentle creaking or squeak

or tiredness in the joint or joints.
commonly the knee Joints, are caused
by roughening or thickening of the
synovial lining Of the joint as the
ultimate result of some past inf1am-
nation or injury Of the joint. There
is nothing gained by applying any
medicament or liniment for such
trouble. Sometimes the subject finds
comfort or relief by wearing woven
elastic knee caps or elastic bandages 8
about the joints.
Clicking or swapping sounds pro-
ceeding usually from the ankle joints

The remedy is more vigorous muscle

daily exercise.
Another swapping sound is due to
