Rheumatic Fever
Decline Noted in
Medical Lecture
BY DGLOS SMITH
UP! Science Editor
j New York -IUPD- Take no
tice of 'what has happened to
rheumatic fever, once the su-

over the past
few decades.
It has declined
so much that

Deioi smith er as they
now do of typhoid, largely
from the written word."
Dr. Edward F. Bland was
speaking. He was taking no
tice of the decline of the
disease of his speciality in a
medical lecture. There are
reasons for its fall, he said,
but not enough reasons to
fully explain it.
Probably World-Wide
The decline has occurred In
the United States, Canada,
through-out western Europe
and probably is world-wide.
For the purpose of a clear
demonstration, Bland took
decade-by-decade figures from
the House of the Good Samar
itan, Boston, where he works.
In the 20s decade, eight of
100 died within a year after
the first attack of rheumatic
fever, and 16 died within two
to five year.
In the 50s only one died
during the first year and only
two in two to five years.
Bland also compared his
decade-figures to illustrate a
decline in the after-effects of
the disease on the heart. In
the 20s decade only 15 out
of the 100 cases escaped with-

out a- permanent enlargement
of the heart. In the 50s 28
out of 100 so escaped.
A number of things prob
ably contributed to this
change for the better, he said,
and "perhaps of first impor
tance was the considerable
over - all improvement in
standards of living for the
poorer classes of urban areas."
Isolate Carriers
The measures that were
taken to Isolate streptococcal
carriers and protect Infected
patients, helped.
This was the time when the
sulfa drugs were becoming
available to fight infections.
Yet Bland was not satisfied
that all these factors com
bined accounted for the
disease's decline.
"One cannot fully discount
a natural mutation of the
disease in a favorable direc
tion as a result of more resis
tant hosts children and less
vigorous organisms (strepto
cocci bacteria)," he said.

The Chief Executive flew

Editor's Notes Tht ramlly Council consists of a J ad to, a psychiatrist,
three clerttymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers.
Each article la a luminary of an actual aie history. The Council reports
on problems that have been dealt wl by responsible agencies and
counselors.
Jane S. - Greg resents my
ex-husband's visits.
Gregory S. - I feel like a
spare tire.
Jane S. - I was recently
married for the second time
to a wonderful man whom I
adore. Unfortunately, h e
doesn't seem really to believe
this.
My ex-husband takes our
two children out on week
ends and comes to visit them
once a week at home. When
it's Joe's night to visit, Greg
does a disappearing act. He
wants me to go out with him
too and is very hurt when I
want to stay in and talk to
Joe.
I don't hate my ex-husband
and never did. We lust
couldn't get along and I guess
it was as much my fault as
his. Anyway. I lived with
him for more than ten years
and we have a lot in common,
I can't treat him like a strang
er and I think Greg should be
friendly too.
Gregory S. - And Just what
am I supposed to do while
Jane and Joe sit around
chewing the rag about things
that happened years ago7 I m
a spare tire. The kids like me
well enough when I m alone
with them but when their
dad's there, they act as though
I'm invisible.
I don't think Jane ought to
be around either when Joe is
there. It's not that I'm jealous,
as she believes. It's just that
the kids have a right to be
alone with their dad when
they see him only twice
week. When Jane and Joe
start talking the kids don't
get a word in edgewise.
Jane thinks we can an oe
one happy family, but I think
two husbands In one room at
the same time Is too much.
The Council! Greg's point
of view seems reasonable to
us and we don't aulte see why
Jane fails to understand and
sympathize. We have a sneak
ing suspicion she must rather
enjoy having these two men
In her life around at tne same
time, each feeling a little dis
turbed about his status in rela
tion to her.
Certainly, twice a week
isn't a lot of time for children
to see their father and they
should get his undivided at
tention. It Is a perfect oppor
tunity for Jane and Gregg to
go out together, knowing the
children are in the best pos
sible hands.
We think it must also be
disturbing to the children to
have two fathers around at
the same time. It s an idea
they'll have to get used to,
but until they do, it is cer
tainly wise to make things a
little easier for them.
Since this marriage is a re
cent one, it will take time to
stabilize Itself. A second mate
often feels a little Insecure
about how he measures up
against Number One. Only
after time has proved the val
ue of the new marriage can
he feel he Is the one and only
