That Pain Of Yours

II. But Whatever the
Cause. Here's Some
Good Advice About

gets. Are Growing
Rich On Your Misery

1. Inflammatory rheumatism, or rheu-
matte fever.
q Chronic rheumatism. or arthritis.
g. Muscular rheumatism. or myosits.
RHEUMATIC FEVER is an infectious
germ disease most common among children
and young people Three-quarters of the
attacks occur in patients from TO 30 years
of age. In itself II is seldom fatal but il must
be seriously watched for the germs that
cause ii can attack the heart. Moreover
many people who have it in childhood die in
early adult life from heart disease.
The symptoms Of rheumatic fever are not
too severe There is some fever and pain and
stiffness in the joint Occasionally there is
pain around the heart If the valves of the
heart are attacked by the germs.
The attack lasts only few days or at
the most a few weeks The pain in the joints,
however, can continue for months.
If your child complains of such pains do
not simply call them growing pains or in
digestion" Call doctor.
One attack of rheumatic fever does not
prevent another Some children have an
attack every year, usually in the late Winter
and early Spring.
ARTHRITIS makes the joints stiff. pain
full. swollen and deformed. Seldom is arthritis
fatal to anyone but it is a Gripping disease
which, if unchecked, prevents working and
brings chronic invalidism.
Arthritis differs from rheumatic fever in
four ways: 1t is not so common among chill
dren and adolescents it does not involve the
heart, it lasts much longer and it does

patients who feel better at Just such times
Actually. all medical debates on whether
hot and dry climate Is better than cooler
and damp seaside air seem to be settled more
by local patriotism than by scientific data
Here In the United States the dry warmth
of Arizona Is favored to bring relief TO rheu-
matte patients. In England. cold and damp
seaside locations are supposed TO promote the
countries rheumatism sanatoriums are gen.
orally placed-by choice-at the seaside. II
all depends on the country.
Doctors in European countries with much
coast line favor the air for their rheu-
matte patients. But in those countries with
little coast line the sea air Is regarded as
dangerous. Those countries with mountainous
regions favor high altitude for rheumatic
patients
All Of this evidence seems to add up to
one thing; that in the temperate zones local
climatic conditions are an unimportant factor
In causing chronic rheumatism.
Because rheumatism Is such stubborn
disease its victims are ripe to 'be taken" by
INSCRIPTIONS quacks and appliance manu-
facturers
DR.. r. G. Snyder, specialist in rheuma-
tism at the Hospital for Special Surgery in
a recent monograph writes that there are
about $3.50, 900 people In the United States
who suffer from rheumatic diseases.
And the u S. Public Health Service has
estimated that one out of every four people
are deluded and robbed annually by the lure
of promises to cure" rheumatism by the use
of fake appliances, charlatanry, electric

which one of the 81 varieties of rheumatism
you have-if you have it.
After his tests it can be determined
whether your particular pains are caused by
germs and some infection, or by hormone
deficiency. or by previous overexertion, by
an infectious virus. some accident, over
indulgence or what not. The causes are many
and sometimes difficult to diagnose.
If the correct cause Of the condition can
be fixed treatment consists of eliminating
the cause. When this is done the cure-and
the real cure-can come quickly.
Within four weeks, often in a few days,
the sufferer should be entirely free from the
disease except In those chronic cases which
may call for surgery TO remove the small
roughened outgrowths in the joints that
sometimes occur.
Many readers of The American Weekly
will recall the commendable article published
on February 8. 1911, describing one such
operation on the hip joint.
The details of this operation can be seen
from the diagrams at the bottom Of the page.
The pattern of treatment which l have
outlined applies for those patients who have
not been deluded into wasting money on fake
and quack treatment which-if 1t brings
even temporary relief-does so by masking
the pain so that the patient feels better.

There are really two

named after the word
atrophy which means

Today one might laugh
at these wrongly interpreted
causes" Of rheumatism ex-
cept that this half-century
old medical lore is still the
backbone of authority for
most Of the medical alma
mack and quack remedy
firms.
More yer, discussions
about dampness as cause
of rheumatism still occur in
medical circles. Just last
February l4th, in the Jour
nal of the American Medical
Association. a Washington,
ID. C.. doctor wrote in say
ing:
The Board of Public
Welfare is planning to erect
a new institution for the
aged Of the District OF Co
lumbia. The low altitude
sh | the proximity Of the
river make for considerable
dampness in the atmosphere
surrounding the home. Fully
500 Of our inmates suffer
from rheumatism in one
form or another. Since l
began my duties here last
June / have heard many pa
tents make the complaint.

worse since / came down

The editors of the med
ical Journal answered that
one quickly by saying that
while many patients suffer
with cold and damp there
are nearly as many other

But nevertheless I am able to explain

Post With Terp Faculty Lures
Shoughnessy to Football Job
Security Of Maryland Position Is Liked
By Coach Leaving Stanford Today

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. March al
Clark Shaughnessy, Stanford foot
ball coach, who turned out a Rose
Bowl team in his first year on the
Pacific Coast, was expected today
to announce his acceptance OF a
new post at the University OF Mary
land.
Shaughnessy. who won national
fame with his application of the
1T" system. Is to become athletic
director and football coach at the
Maryland school, the San Francisco
Examiner said.
The Stanford Board OF Athletic
Control, in an emergency meeting to-
day. was slated to accept tha resig-
nation and appoint Jim Lawson.
present assistant football coach of
the Indians. as the successor to
Shaughnessy.
No Contract Promised.
Maryland's salary offer was un-
derstood to be the same as Shaugh-
nessy's present pay-$9.000. The
campus at College Park would give
Shaughnessy. however. security as
a member of its regular faculty, al
though no contract was promised.
The University of Maryland has
student body Of about 5,400 as COM
pared with Stanford's $500.
Chancellor Ray Lyman Wilbur Of
Stanford said he was sorry over the
prospect of losing Shaughnessy and
described Lawson as the most
logical choice" to succeed him.
One major factor may well have
been the uncertain future facing
football on the Pacific Coast due to
the Army's ban on crowds Of more
than 5000.
Job Would Be First in East.
Shaughnessys move to Maryland
would mark his first coaching job
on the Atlantic Seaboard. He came
to Stanford two years ago after the
University of Chicago discontinued
football as an intercollegiate sport.

Win Over Rubio
86th Knockout
For Robinson
Five Bouts in Next
Three Months to Keep
Sugar Boy Busy
BY AUSTIN BEALMEAR,

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Ray
Robinson. the welterweight walloper
from Harlem, owns the longest win
ming streak in boxing today, but he
had to unlimber all the artillery at
his command to stop Norman Rubio
and keep his record clean In last
nights punching party at Madison
Square Garden.
For six rounds the crowding,
crouching Rubio took everything
Robinson had to offer and recipro-
Gated with an equal dose Of dyna-
mite. although he injured his left
hand in the opening frame and an
X-ray examination later disclosed a
fractured metacarpal bone.
Then came the seventh. and Ray
buried the Albany, N. Y, clouter
under a barrage of lefts and rights
that sent him down for the count OF
nine.
Donovan Checks Fight.
Rubio came up, bleeding badly
from a deep cash over his left eye,
only to be staggered by terrific
left hook a split second before the
end of the round-and that was all.
Referee Arthur Donovan, getting
the nod from Chairman John j.
Phelan OF the New York State Ath-
letic Commission. called 1t of be-
fore the man with the bell had q
change to signal the start Of the
eighth.
The victory was the 29th in a row
for Robinson since he turned pro
after winning all of his 80 fights as
an amateur. 1t was his 23d knockout
as a professional and the 86th OF his
entire career.
But more important, it launched
a whirlwind campaign which Rob-
inson hopes will earn him the title
Of "uncrowned king of the welter-
weights"
With champion Red Cochrane too
busy in Uncle Sans Navy to defend
the title for some time, Robinson
has agreed to meet six rival con-
tenders in less than three months
and Rubio was the first on the list.
Big Schedule Ahead.
He will tang1e with Harvey Dubs
OF Windsor, Ontario, In Detroit
April Is, and Sammy Secret OF
Pittsburgh at Cleveland April 30. In
Boston on May Is, he will take on
the winner of next weeks Lew Jen-
kins-Mike Kaplan bout, and two

Marty Servo, the Schenectady Coast
Guardsman. The campaign will end
here in June against Young Kid Nc
Coy Of Detroit and the United States

greatest assault on the record book.
Wolcott, former Rice star now
competing unattached out of Hous-

including 40. so and 60-yard high
sprints and bettered one world re-
cord and equaled two others.
The 40-yard race Wolcott won In
5 seconds, breaking the old record
of 81 seconds which Allan Tolmich
of Detroit established in the Chi
cago relays in 1899. In the 50-yard
event he tied the 81 second mark
held jointly by himself and Bob
Wright Of Ohio State. The 60-yard
race went to Wolcott in To seconds.

equaling achievement was by Her

won going away in minutes SO sec
