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.
