herself the richest woman In the

Many physicians think that the
soreness and aching In the muscle
whleh are usually called muscular
rheumatism are really not rheuma
tism at all. but neuralgia For
this reason they prefer to call the af
rectlon by Its other name, myalgia,
which means nothing more than mus
cular pain. It probably belongs, nev
ertheless, to the Indefinite group or
diseases called rheumatic, for It oc
curs frequently In persons who hare
other rheumatic or gouty troubles, or
In whose family these affections pre
vail; and It Is excited by the same
things exposure to cold and damp,
tor example; overfatigue, indiscretions
In eating or drinking that are be
lieved to bring on an attack ot rheu
matlsm In the Joints.
Any or all the muscles may be the
seat or myalgia, but those most com
monly affected are the muscles ot the
neck, or the shoulder and or the loins.
In children It often takes the form or
stiff neck, while In persons or middle
lire the muscles or the loins are not
Infrequently attacked, constituting
what Is known, and dreaded by those
who have had previous attacks, a
lumbago.
When the chest muscles are affected
or the sufferer has "a stitch In the
side," or pleurodynia the pain may
be as acute as to simulate pneumonia
or pleurisy.
The chief symptoms of muscular
rheumatism Is patn In the muscles af
fected, not usually very severe when
the parts are at rest, but sometimes
excruciating on attempted motion. A
light touch may be painful, while deep
and Arm pressure' gives relief
The acute attack usually begins sud
denly, and the pain attains Its full se
verity at the beginning, growing grad
ually less to the course or two or
three days or a week.
In the chronic form there Is almost
alwas some soreness and aching In
the affected muscles worse In raw,
damp weather.
The Internal treatment Is the same
as for rbnumatlsm or the joints
which Is another argument In favor or
the belief that the two forms are es
sentially the same and due to the
same cause.
The pain may be relieved by dry
