Habit, custom and tradition have
fixed In our minds al sorts OF con-
victions about things. A notable ex-
ample is the popular idea that
rheumatism is the result OF expos
ure to weather. Cold and moisture
are supposed to produce the symp-
toms usually called rheumatic"
OF course, scientific physicians no
longer hold to this belief. They
recognize rheumatism as merely the
evidence OF some sort OF infec-
ton. They do not dispute that cold
and damp weather may increase
the pain, but the disease itself they
regard as being due to an infec-
ton.
It isn't easy to get away from
ideas we have held all our lives. We
hate to be convinced that scarlet
fever and smallpox are not trans
mitted through the air, but are con-
tracted only by direct physical con-
tact with the afflicted me-.

breathe in the "miaSm."
But we are forced TO accept these

our thought about rheumatism. We
must seek some local disease, In ton

the real cause Of this ailment.
