Superstitions in recall to rheumatism probably persist because there are many things that are still unknown about rheumatism, from a medical standpoint. The treatment of it is still far from satisfactory. Doctors realise this, but nobody is more fully aware of it than the sufferers themselves. A tendency to rheumatism once established, the pain often returns with every change of weather, showing that the poison is still in the blond awaiting favourab'e conditions to become active and cause trouble. One fa<-t is known and acknowledged by all medical writers, and that is the rapid thinnintr of the blood when the rheumatic poison invades it.
