A DOCTOR'S VIEW
RHEUMATISM'S CAUSE
LONDON, 6th November
The medical journal, "The Practitioner," contains a summing up of the most modern views on the cause of rheumatism, by Sir William Willeox, physician to St. Mary's Hospital, London, and one of Britain's best-known doctors.
Sir William expressed the opinion that the microbe streptococcus is the principal cause- of crippling chronic rheumatic diseases.
Many contributory factors, however, include injury, occupation, constitution, external influences, certain conditions of the skin, diet, defective circulation, and disorders of the glands of internal secretion.
