Two Kinds of Disease
Harmful to Body

Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of Hygela. the Health Magazine

When your body fails to work satisfactorily. the
disorder may be due to one OF two types OF disturb
ance. or in many instances to both.
Actual changes in the tissues are called structural
diseases. For example. a broken bone. an inflamed
liver. or an inefficiency Of the body to digest and as
simulate sugars properly might be called structural
disease. Sometimes. because Of the ability Of living
tissues to repair this structural disease. you can 70
on TO complete recovery. In other cases. the damage
may be permanent.
Certain tissues Of the body have specific duties 10
perforn-for example, the cells of the lung, the heart,
the liver. or the brain. If these cells are destroyed
and arc not replaced by the same type Of cells that
formerly existed there. the organ Is damaged to a
certain extent.
Your body contains considerable safety factors.
Thus you have two lungs when one can do the work;
two kidneys; a liver that Is seven times as large az
is necessary for carrying out its functions. and a heart
which often carries on It's work In a very badly dam
aged condition.
A considerable number Of people get along with
less brain capacity than do others.
II cells become mflamed they may be replaced BY
cells Of the same kind. or sometimes their place Is
taken by cells Of fibrous or scar tissue. II you cut
your hand, the scar which is formed Is not Of the
same kind Of tissue as the skin damaged by the cut.
II the cells Of the pancreas. called the islands Of
Lsnserhans. are damaged, they are not repaired by
tissue Of the same kind, but instead by fibrous tissue.
These are the cells primarily responsible for de-
velopment Of the substance called insulin, which Is
necessary for use Of sugar in the body. II enough
damage is done to these special cells. diabetes fol-
lows.
There are, however, other kinds Of disease In which
no definite change Is found in any cells Of the body.
This is particularly the case in conditions affecting
the mind.
II q person becomes convinced In his own mind that
he cannot talk. he will be unable to talk until he is
unconvinced: II ne becomes convinced that he can
not walk. he will not be able TO walk until he Is un-
convinced.
Through failure TO walk, he loses the power Of mo-
ton in the muscles involved in walking. Through
disuse they waste away. The joints. being continu-
ously in one position. may become fixed. Then COM
plete recovery is difficult even II the person Ia I'M
convinced later.
This Is the sequence Of events in conditions called
hysteria. It is obvious that although these things be-
gin as functional, they may develop into physical dis
turbances and interfere seriously with life.
