Your Health
-BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

ONE striking example of the progress Of scientific
~ control of diseases is given in present-day
treatment of rheumatism"-a word so often mis-
used and abused by those without clear understand
ing of it problem.
At first this condition was believed due to a dam
gerous fluid, or "rheum," flowing from the brain to
various parts of the body and stirring up all sorts
of aches, pains, and other disturbances.
Now bear in mind that no one ever had actually
seen this "rheum' or proved its presence. 1t was
just an idea.
THE more practical and scientific physicians de-
i cided to focus their attention not on the brain,
but on the joints and muscles in which the pains
actually occur. At once they had some difficulty in
distinguishing between the kind Of pains that we're
called rheumatism and those associated with another
rather common disorder called govt.
1t is quite clear that doctors Of an earlier day
were not able to distinguish very definitely between
these two diseases. More recently it has come to be
believed that govt is primarily a disorder of the me-
oabolism associated with heavy eating and the use Of
liquors, whereas no one is quite certain as to just
what causes many Of the forms Of rheumatism.
Indeed, there is still some possibility that govt
may be just one form Of a variety Of conditions
called rheumatism.
A S study Of these conditions continued, physicians
L n began to realize that there were cases Of rheu-
matism which might affect the heart and also others
which might affect the nervous system, so that to-
day it is believed that chorea, or st. Vitus' dance, is
a form Of rheumatic disorder.
1t is known, furthermore, that the condition
called rheumatic fever is primarily a condition
affecting the heart and producing definite changes
in that organ, leading in many cases TO serious Grip
ping of the heart and to death.
AS we look back 10 the time when rheumatism
was thought to be due to some weird poison that
great the progress Of scientific control actually has
been

doing and he does it.
They get down to a bill to suppress lotteries in
New Orleans. Henceforth any lotteries which wish
to do business will have to do business with der

The craps-shooting senator's loyalty to der King

you? AW, senator. Don't do that"

shooter. Make the minimum penalty ten bucks in
stead of 5000 and I'm for it."

49,
DEATEN on the battlefield by
ID Napoleon, Austria resorted TO
diplomatic intrigue 70 keep in the
European limelight. and did it
very well.
The first thing Metternich, her
great diplomat, did was TO marry
of an Austrian princess to Ma
poleon himself, and make peace
between the two countries. Aus
tria remained neutral through the
latter phases Of the Napoleonic
wars, but finally joined with Rus
STA and Prussia to beat the con-
queror Of LEIPZIG.
The result was the regaining or
Lombardy and Venice, the Tyrol
and S~alzburg, Dalmatia and the
Tarnopol district. She had re-
gained by diplomacy and a little
fighting what she had lost by
much fighting and little diplom-
acy.
But today it is in this former
Austrian plan of northern Italy
that Mussolini's troops concen-
trate on the Austrian border.
Austria under Francis and Met
ternich because the bulwark of
monarchy in a Europe that was
beginning to awake to democracy
and rule by the people. When
ever a country began to be wor-
ried by popular uprising, its king
could turn to Austria for at least
sympathy, sometimes for definite
help.
An Austria herself led the way
by suppressing all attempts at
popular government in Bohemia,
Hungary, Galicia, and the Italian
provinces.
IN 1849, revolution swept Europe.
Il Bloody rebellion was bloodily
suppressed by Austria in her terri
tories Of Bohemia and Hungary,
and there was serious rioting in
Vienna itself.
This grew to open rebellion
which was suppressed only when
the Austrian regular army gener-
ais, returning from putting down
rebellion in Italy, arrived in the
capital.
They suppressed active rebellion,
but the country was in such chaos
that the Emperor Ferdinand abdi-
Gated, leaving the crown to his 18-
year-old nephew, Franz Joseph.
This young man was to rule
Austria until u own days, when
his body was taken from the royal
palace in Vienna at night in 1916
after a long, bitter, Misunderstanding
reign of sixty-eight years.
