MIRACLE DRUGS TREATMENT OF CHRONIC RIIEUMATIO FEVER It has been truly said that "rheu- matic fever is childhood's greatest enemy," because. unlike some children's ailments which occur but once in a lifetime. rheumatic fever may occur several times and. with each attack, the heart may be seriously damaged. It is in these cases of rheumatic fever that so many victims pass away at an early age with heart disease. many be- fore reaching 40 years of age. It is known that rheumatic fever attacks more children of the poor. as was shown by studies conducted in Chicago in which a marked dif- ference was found in the percent- age of cases of private school child- ren from families of upper middle class and among children attending school in one of the poorest sections of the city. This was because of the poor diet, lacking particularly in meat, eggs and milk (protein foods). Thus, as stated some months ago, the percentage of rheu- matic fever in poor districts was nearly 3 per cent. whereas in the upper middle class children. it was about one-half of 1 per cent. While ACTH. the .miracle drug. was believed, when discovered. to be the special drug to cure rheumatic fever, rheumatism and arthritis. it was found that whenever used the patient always improved in spirits. even if his special ailment was not helped, Remembering that ACTH gave most patients a "lift" or ”boost,"' Drs. D. Young and M. Rodstein in archives of Internal Medicine, Chicago, report their findings in which eight children with chronic active rheumatic fever were treat- ed with cortisone or corticotropin (ACTH) for prolonged periods, one ouiclt RELIEF Don't wheeze. gasp. cough. fi lit for breath.

In five patients, healing pro- cess continued to be active even after this treatment was stopped. and in none of these patients was the duration of the disease appar- ently shortened, although the sev- erity of the disease was decreased in four. one patient, desperately ill; had his rheumatic process stop- ped by cortisone and ACTH and has remained well for more than a year. This same favorable result was obtained over a year. Very stubborn cases of conges- tive heart failure in which all other forms of treatment failed cleared entirely in four of five cases, The improvement in general well-being was seen in the majority of cases treated. "In some children with severe symptoms, prolonged administra- tion of large doses of cortisone and ACTH may be life-saving." While it is true that some physic- ians do not have such favorable re- sults as these above-noted. there is no doubt that in the majority of cases the patient is able to put up a stronger fight against rheumatic- fever and heart disease by the use of cortisone and ACTH. in another patient with no return of symptoms for '.-soc-.om-etc.-umumv l El.LEll'S; film ; By An Island rsrniefs Wife -- t "....-iihotwuths'night he proposed." - "On his knees?" we teased.
