Prince. Rupert Dnf!p Btvs Thursday. October 17, 1946 SCIENCE PROBES MYSTERY BEHIND DREAD DISEASE By WILLIAM GLOVER NEW YORK (AP) Science aoorf may open .up Its big research guns against arthritis, one of mankind's oldest, most 'devilish and cost'ly ailments. ton't expect the attack to , Jjrlng early success. The "great crippier" ranks with the toughest riddles medical men ever have tackled. Its physical effects have been fairly well tab-bed'j. but the cause at one end, the cure at the other, and much df the. pathology between is an ..lincharted morass. Quacks have had a field day as they Have had with other great ailments before eenuine cures were discovered and arthritis investigators estimate that millions of dollars are wasted annually on-phony cures and nostrums., The lack of knowledge is due .ffjlefly to the fact that no one ever has been known to die from any of the widely diversified forms of arthritis, ret millions .are afflicted, and it affects Id times as many persons' as tuberculosis or diabetes, seven times as many as cancer more than cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes and heart disease combined. One-third of all individuals past 5? years' of age are arthrlstics. OPEN INQUIRY "In human suffering and economic loss It is the deadliest of all diseases," says Dr. William Fishbein in explaining the task of the United States National Arthritis Research Foundation. "No one is safe from it, for it can strike in Infancy as I wen as in older lif. It apparently tendtf to afflict men in middle age. .vhen they would 'otherwise be at the peak of their productive capacity." The arthristic foundation was set up last year as a co-ordinated effort of the U.S. Public Health Service and of sponsors of the Leo N. Levi Memgrial Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark., a non-sectaHan institution which has treated 185,000 afthritics since -1914. On Oct. 7 the foundation launched a country-wide campaign to raise $2,500,000 to start a diversified, long-range inquiry into the what, how dnd why of the disease. The "when" is pretty clearly established. Evidence exists that prehistoric man was the victim 'of jolnt-cripplln.g and deforming alhnent?. Egyptian mummies &how arthritic conditions and one theory holds that Rome's famed baths were begun first for the therapeutic welfare of patrician victims. REMEDIES TRIED "Literally thousands of remedies have been tried," Dr. Fishbein says, "from red flannel, which had some merit because it applies heat, to strings of beads. Today we are down to a few simple things seme form of NOURISHIHG heat, regulation of the diet but only to make sure It is well-balanced; rest, and relief tfroni worry." It seems fairly well established that there ls no family tendency of susceptibility to arthritis or that it is related positively to any other disease. "Thej-e does seem td be iome evidence that the activities, and exposure of war service have caused an increase of arthritis among former servicemen," says Dr. Fishbein. "and there is a lot of evidence tha.t the condition is often initiated by some form Of emotional shock, but it is never 'the exclusive factor; and therfe I 1 - IJ... 1 1 A 1 A Vk. J3 iiu evjueiice jiiat it can oe completely caused by 'mental disturbance." One of the big problems in investigating is that the usual test animals rabbits, dogs and .guinea pigs are no rriore susceptible to creation of arthritic conditions than is the rest of the animal kingdom, man excepted.
