pared for the American Rheuma-

portant thing that can be done for
the arthritic patient is to relieve
his pain.
Great Problem
Arthritis, or chronic rheumatism.
whichever you want to call it, is in
deed great problem, even if con-
sidered numerically. 1t is estimated
that every person aged so years or
more can be shown to have some
little arthritis, but only five per cent
have symptoms, This would mean
in the United States that about
24;000,000 have arthritis and about
1900, 900 have symptoms from it.
There are almost as many varie-
ties of "arthritis" as there are pa
tients. The form of arthritis men
toned in the statistics above comes
on after 80. That is the commonest
form and is likely to occur in the
fingers or toes, wrists, ankles-in
other words, the peripheral joints,
although it can occur in the spine.

She led their talk brilliantly,

In the drawing room she sat

we could, without harm or pain to
the individual, take out a part Of the
heart muscle and examine it under
the microscope, or part of the kid
neys, or the liver-think what an
advantage we would have in know
ing whether the organ is normal or
not!
Do It with Blood
But we have always been able to
do that with the blood--ever since
we had microscopes, at least. Ever
since, in fact, thin little German
professor, Vierordt, stuck needle
in his own finger, obtained drop Of
blood and looked at it under the
scope.
He saw three kinds Of cells. The
most numerous by far were the red
cells. These are the oxygen carriers,
the exchange or liaison officers OF
the body's army.
They are, to make a brand-new,
up-to-date smile, like the diploma
lists who keep scurrying around
Europe nowadays. One comes from
France to England with some infor-
nation, leaves it in England, gets
some other (English) kind of infor-
nation, and goes hurrying back to
France to give it up there.
The red blood cells get some oxy-
gen from the lungs, go scurrying to
the liver with it, feed it to the liver
cells, take in exchange some of the
dirt carbon dioxide) they have to
get rid of, and go back to the lungs
with it, giving it up to be exhaled in

Constant in Health

Rubbing Growth Hormone
Into Skin Is New Method

right hormones for them. In one
particular instance-that of the sex
hormones-the body gets rid of the
injected hormone so fast that it
doesn't have time to work. 1t seems
we need some other substance to fix
or stay the hormone in the body I'M
til it can operate.
A new approach has been made
within recent months by rubbing
the hormone into the skin rather
than by giving it by mouth or hypo-
dermic. This has been applied es-
pecially in breast development.
Moderate Success
Heretofore, while there are
known to be indefinite hormones
which affect the development of the
breasts, the ordinary use of these by
hypodermic injection has met with
only moderate success. Very large
doses are necessary and even then
complete failure often results.
1t occurred to one endocrinologist
to try the effect Of using an ONT
ment saturated with the hormone
rubbed into the skin of the breast.
Surprising effects followed. Within
ten days an evident growth and de-
velopment occurred in one case.
It is possible that by using the
skin as medium Of entry the duct
less gland hormones may be fixed
and better utilized in the body.

cork and plugs up the hole. When
the blood strikes the air the platelets
disappear; they seem to dissolve,
and that is partly what makes the

Every once in while the platelets

it is liable to ooze out into the It's

Why do the platelets disappear?
We are beginning to know some of
the causes. Lack Of vitamins is GER
tainly responsible at times. When
vitamin C is lacking in the diet,
from deficiency Of milk or orange
juice or tomato juice, there are
spontaneous hemorrhages into the
gum tissue.

this spontaneous, unheralded ten
dency of the blood to "unclot" and

It has been found that it is due
primarily to the lack of blood plate

She shook her head and moved
away from him to greet her latest

to the morning when she would see

course there was cure for PERM
cious anemia. which has been proved
and which is simply the feeding of
liver a few ounces day.
Known for Is Years
This has been known to all doc
tors lat least all in my acquaint-
ance) for nearly Is years, since it
was announced by Whipple. Minot
and Murphy.
The action of the liver goes back
to the principles which we examined
in the article yesterday, that the red
cells of the blood are, in health, al
ways the same in quantity in all
kinds of people-young and old, big
and little. The red cells are formed
in the bone marrow, and when the
bone marrow ceases to function or
reduces it's activities, there are
fewer red cells and that, Of course,
is what is known as anemia.
The use Of liver in pernicious
anemia is specific. In very few in
stances is liver itself used, but an
extract of liver is used. This is a
salty brown substance much like
graduated brown sugar in appear
ance. 1t is pleasant to taste.
Won't "Cure" It
The use of liver extract will not
"cure" pernicious anemia, but the
regular use of it will keep the case
healthy and comfortable. When re-
lapses occur, they are usually due to
