Aspirin Found 10 Lessen
Rheumatic Fever DAMAGE
By the A,seeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, July 18.-Test tube
evidence that aspirin is good for
rheumatic fever, the disease that
leaves large numbers of children
with weak hearts, was presented to
the Fifth International Pediatrics
Congress which ended its meeting
yesterday.
Aspirin is given regularly to re-
lieve pain in rheumatic fever, but
it was not considered medical
remedy.
Evidence now indicates aspirin
actually is a protection against the
permanent damage done by rheu-
matte fever. The aspirin appears to
hold down the formation of scars
in certain body tissues. These scars
cause the bad after-effects.
The scars appear in a sandwich
tissue that separates the fibers that
hold the body's soft tissues together
The sandwich tissue swells and the
aspirin seems to hold down this
swelling. Streptococcus germs cause
rheumatic fever and sulfa drugs are
the remedy for them.
The aspirin studies were shown
in an exhibit by Drs. Ralph H. Boots,
Charles Ragan, Karl Meyer and
James A. Coss. jr., of the Column
bia University College of Physicians
and Surgeons,
