WHICH TYPE OF ARTHRITIS
when was young I used =
wonder about the unwritten, untok
secrets of the art of medicine. Fo,
instance, how could the eminent
specialists, the noted consultants Of
the day tell that patients com.
nlaint was only functional, not
'organic" and send the patient
home plumb delighted or else sore
at the bumbling old family pracu-
toner for frightening him SO and
putting him to all the expense Of
travelling to the big city to see the
great specialist.
And that used to make me sore
too. I felt that my teachers back
in medical school had f1unked theii
lob. I wondered whether that was
lust because they were poor teach
ers or whether they were so be-
holden to the big shots that they
taught only what the eminent spe-
cialists considered suitable for
prospective general practitioners to
know. In those days, remember.
the specialists depended mainly on
business referred to them by gen.
eral practitioners-in contradistinc-
ton to latter-day specialists" who
depend largely on the customers
they contrive to lure away from the
family doctor, people who childish
ly imagine they get expert advice
or service if they go directly to a
specialist" and have no truck with
the ordinary" doctor.
One of the things used to Won
der about and still do sometimes, Is
how a doctor can tell that expo
sure" to cold, wet and thel Ike Is re-
sponsible for arthritis in one case
and not in another case. And how
a doctor can distinguish "hyper-
trophic" arthritis from "atrophic"
arthritis-or for that matter why
he should try to do SO.
Hypertrophy means overgrowth.
increase in bulk, enlargement, so
"hypertrophic arthritis" means joint
disease or Inflammation character
lied by enlargement, overgrowth,
swelling of the joint. Atrophy
means wasting, shrinkage, so afro
phic arthritis" means joint disease
characterized by wasting OF the
joint tissues and the muscles that
move the joint.
Both so-called types of arthritis,
for all practical purposes Of pro-
phylaxis, diagnosis and treatment,
are one and the same disease
procesS-degeneration.
In most instances Of chronic ar
thrills (chronic rheumatism to you.
old timers) there is no ''infiamn1a-
ton in the usual sense OF the
word, except perhaps occasional
brief episodes due to casual injury
of the affected joint. Instead there
is simply a gradually increasing
disability, and decreasing mobility
attended with tenderness, lameness
or pain, and in this earlier stage OF
arthritis there is more or less en-
largement, swelling, hypertrophy.
The hypertrophy seems to be an eff
fort of nature to check progress Of
the disability.

is also the Secretary of Wars CO.
