Pg. 2, col. 4 THE RHEUMATISM GERM The gout and rheumatism are germ diseases has just been announced by Dr. Phillip H. Kreuser of Chicago, says the Everett Tribune. Dr. Kreuser was a co-worker in this research with Dr. John B. Murphy who died in August, after preparing the lecture which Dr. Kreuser delivered before the New York Academy of Medicine. Dr. Murphy succeeded in isolating the germ, and found that one variety of it caused 31 percent of the cases another variety 14 per cent and a mixture the other 55 percent. The practical conclusion of interest to laymen in regard to these widespread afflictions are first, that the old methods of treatment by liniments and salves are absolutely useless in curing the infection; and second, that in nearly half of all the cases studied, tonsils and teeth were directly responsible for the trouble. If by keeping the teeth and tonsils in cleanly and wholesome condition 43 per cent of all cases of rheumatism and gout can be avoided, much suffering will be saved humanity by attention to these details. Certain acute cases, agreed the investigators could be cured by surgery. The other half of the sufferers may live in hope that future study will bring out a serum which will remove their pains.
