The attacks may vary greatly, depending on how severe the gen eral symptoms are, and the extent of involvement of the Joints. The disease usually follows acute ton sillitis or an acute upper respir atory Infection, and there is or. dinarily a quiescent period of from ten to twenty days. The beginning , is sudden, with moderate fever and sometimes there is chilling. The individual complains of se vere pains in one or more joints. An important indication of the disease Is the increased heart rate, but it may not rise In proportion to the rise in fever. There may be pain and palpitation in the heart area. When the infection is severe there may be shortness of brealh, and a heart murmur, which ;s discovered by the physician. Rheu matic nodules indicate a severe infection. In childhood, acquired heart di sease usually means rheumatic in flammation of the heart. The rheu matic state in childhood, is almost unknown under two years of aie, and rarely under three, but he conn's more common from then on up lo fifteen years. The pulse rate is very important. In the early acute conditions the pulse rate is usually rapid. An attack of rheumatic fever gives no immunity, the opposite is actually the case; each recur rence lends to inflict further dam age on various structures of the heart, (raid Advertisement). or END OF LANDMARK For more than half a century this biq wooden home at 51 1 W.
