WAR ON RHEUMATISM.
MADE TO CURE ITSELF. A new method of treating rheumatism which is yielding very successful results was described in a recent lecture to doctors at the North-East London Post-Graduate College by Dr. Charles Suudeil, senior physician to the Seamen’s Hospital, Greenwich. Briefly, the method is lo stimulate lever and sweating by means of hot packs—no drugs being used—and thus to convert chronic rheumatism into an acute process which is self-curative. In carrying out the treatment hot packs are used once or twice a day or the patient lies on a couch in an atmosphere of moist warmth at a temperature of 100-105 degrees.
Each treatment lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and the patient can continue his ordinary mode of life.
