We are strong links ween arthritis and the ent's personality, dcl tes to an International igress on Rheumatic eases in Toronto, Can , were told. Attitudes of stern self -iteousness are promi t among persons with umatoid arthritis," Dr. ford Gifford of Bos . declared. "So are tudes of long-suffer-stoicism, a devotion to Mrs, and a rigid pre ipation with cleanli : and high moral p lin es." ;.. : rthritics "seem to have ng feelings of inade cy coupled with a i degree of social con usness" said Dr. Nor i 0.

Actually, arthritis is only a name used to identify the aches and pains, the swelling and inflammation, and the limitations on motion that are experienced in the joints. There are many different diseases that result in arthritic symptoms. At the moment, it appears that there may be more than 150 different forms of arthritis, more than 150 different ailments that result in arthritic symptoms! J" he two most common forms that account for about 70 percent of all arthritic complaints are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, A characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis is that it fluctu ates. Often, without the aid of any treatment, after a severe flare-up it will suddenly disappear entirely. This remission, which may last for months or even years, has been the basis for many claims of quack cures and remedies. While the cause is not known, many factors, most of them vague and difficult to control, trigger the start of rheu matoid arthritis and even influence its course. Emotional and physical stress and strain, fatigue, injury and shock, undue exposure to cold and dampness are but a few. Osteoarthritis is most frequently associated with aging and usually attacks those joints that undergo the greatest wear and tear. While rheumatoid arthritis is the great crippler, osteoarthritis seldom results in severe deformity. It is never seen before the age of 40 and it seems to involve persons who have undergone occupational or other stress involving the weight-bearing joints. The knees, hips, and part of the spine are especially affected by osteoarthritis. Strangely enough, the potent drugs that offer some relief in rheumatoid arthritis have no effect in osteoarthritis. Both ailments, however, will respond to aspirin, rest, heat, massage, and exercise: the conservative form of therapy so much in use today. Even with the differences of opinion among physicians about the disease, many thousands of patients are being treated successfully with one or another of the various drugs and procedures available. The proper treatment seems to be the right treatment in the right individual at the right time. With what is known today about arthritis and with the treatments available, there is hope for every arthritic. Early and proper treatment of rheumatoid arthritis will prevent crippling in 70 percent of the cases. It will permit the individual to continue at his job, to take care of his children and his family. It will permit the arthritic to lead as normal and active a life as is possible despite the disease process smoldering beneath the surface. IT' W T i' WT Si' !.
