Rheumatism is a vague term ap plied on the one hand to certain def inate conditions and on the other, to a number of indefinite aches and pains. Rheumatic diseases account for about one-sixth of the total ab sences among insured persons in Eng land and the sick benefits expended amount to nearly two million pounds a year. In the United States rheu mat ism was found to be the most serious disabling disease among the 600,000 persons examined by the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company. Rheumatism is not a reportable dis ease in Oregon, but it is safe to say that it is one of the most disabling diseases. The difficulty of classification in this group of diseases, comprising many different disorders ranging from acute rheumatic fever to lum bago and "creaking joints," is by no means a small one. A scheme is sug gested which divides all "rheumatic" diseases into three main groups Group "A" consists of acute and sub acute rheumatism; group "B", so called rheumatism not affecting the joints, e. g., muscular rheumatism; group "C", chronic disease of joints. Chronic inflammation of the ton sils is definitely established as a fac tor in the production of acute and sub-acute rheumatism, while dental sepsis (infected teeth) is looked upon with grave suspicion as an important factor in the causation of both chron ic joint infection and chronic rheu matic affections of muscles and liga ments. Rheumatism may be caused by in fection in tonsils, nasal cavities or elsewhere. It is not cured by exter nal applications but by the rem ova of the foci of infection. Persons of apparent intelligence have been known to carry a horse chestnut or a red kidney bean as a sure safeguard against rheumatism. Rheumatism can only be prevented by removing the possible source of infection. Prevent rheumatism by: 1. The removal of diseased tonsil: and adenoids. 2. The proper treatment of ab tcessed and decayed teeth, and in flamed gums. 3. The proper treatment of infec tions and sinuses.
