HAD RHEUMATISM FOR 20 YEARS But None Since 1930 'This man must have something like a record for suffering. Ile says: -- "Since 1910 up to 1930—that is 20 years—I have been a great sufferer with rheumatism. I aim; pleased to say that since 1930 up to date, I Lave been free from/ that dreadful Hain, simply by taking Kruschen Salta— and nothing else. d must say that 20 years is a long time to ...have that awful rheumatic pain about one."— .W. P. _. Your rheumatism. is just like his and everyone else's/. It is caused by sharp -edged uric acid erystals get-` ting; into your joints. •Kruscshen will dissolve those crystals away.

A Doctor's Advice To His Critics (Conteused from The Forum,• Jane,, '32, by Reader's Digest) I am a doctor. I .manage somehow to read a little, and I note in the magazines many more or less violent assaults on the inadequacy of the medical prorfeasdon. It might be in- teresting to a layman to hear a swg- ge;t]on from the other 'side. .'There is, I fear, a-sihocking ignore once among laymen of the limitations of medicine. You ask ofus the' im- possible and get irritated when we cannot deliver !but, but you appar- ently never look about you. Don't caoctors get sick like anybody else? Lunt their own parents and brothers and •wives and e'hilc ren die• just like yours? . My ''own mother has been sick ever'since •I could re/ne'mtber, anti I am 39. My father has high blood pressure. I myself suffer from migraine (sick headache), and' have had appendicitis, influenza, mastoid his, rheumatism,• and a few other .thing's. Why do I stand for all this nonsense? Why don't I cuss out the nee/lice] profession? Because I know What are the (boundaries of their kaewledge, and I know that they are doing the best they can. 'Theta are so many things in medi- eine which are very, vaguely or im- perfectly understood; nobody under- stands cancer, chronic nephritis, my- ocardial degeneration, and other such c apt ainc of the +mien of death. No- body has any adequate proof of the cause of rheumatic fever, influenza, measles, or common" colds. With few ewer -alone the whole range of endo- crine disturbances is in a very un- +satisrfactory condition. The same ap- plies to nervous and mental diseases. And so it goes: I could fill a page with an enumeration of conditions before which we are ignorant or helpless. From this you may conclude that medicine is in a medieval condition. But you are wrong again. As a mat- ter of fact, medicine is making a- stounding progress, and I would hese itate to set any limit to what may ultimately be accomplished. I 'base this statement on the actual record of solid achievement in the past. My great -great-grandfather was a duce tor.of a sort 'but he never went to medical school. He was a /blacksmith who bled people and palled teeth. My great-grandfather was a doctor and graduated from. a ,Class A school in 1821. He .bled and he blistered and he puked and he purged= -and this was about his armamenrtariurm. Ile didn't even have ether or chloroform: My grandfather was a doctor and graduated from a Class A school in 1857. Bacteria were unknown. JiLis appendicitis patients died of "cramp eplict' and "locked /bowels." He didn't know that tuberculosis was communi- cable. He did not have a fever ther- mometer. My father was ail doctor and grad- uated from a Class. A school in 1884. Diphtheria was rampant and deadly, amid .so was typhoid fever. He did not have vaccines for them; nor thyroid extract nor adrenalin nor ptituitrin. Blood transfusion was un- kriievrirn: He didn't even have an x- ray. Radium !had not been discover- ed. f lie did not have local anesthe- tics. He could not even take a blood .pressure. 'Pathological and clinical microscopy were just beginning. He drieln't know that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquftoe`s, nor head he heard of hookrwvormis. am a ,doctor and gradruatted from a .Class A school in 1920. I did not evet have insulin for diatbetes, nor liver extract for pernicious anemia, nor scarlet fever "serum, nor the mal- arial treatment for paresis, nor a (host of otiher things. Insulin and liver extract, fox ins't'ance, are both verltelbie- erica is 's struggle garnet disease. blic, fed on Mass Productiont, aa, epie week at least, • Ewen iP doetoi,a 1`s ew the exact diagnosi and the Wolper treatment they might still be helpless. • Every day my hands .are tied and I am re- duced to 4mlpatenee by, 'things, over whlh 1 hatv'e.:no enntrol. The doctor advises an operation; the patient re- fuses. Whitt Gan 'fie doctor do? , Nothing,- Patients will not follow a preiscrilbed •diett; thee* will not even take their medictinee; not infre- quently they will pay no attention whatever. to any advice given them. They object to adequate examination; they resent questioning; they lie int giving hieltogiest . ' _. ' But•.that is only the beginning of the trouble. Even if the patient is perfect, can• he pay far proper care? Ie. a 'shocking .proportion of cases the answer is: no. As medicine has become better and More extensive in diagnosis and treatment it has be- crome more expensive. As it enlists more appliances and ;better facilities, the cost increases. My great-grand- father's patient with an acute appen- dix /probably got a purgative and a mustard plaster, which cost him lit- tle—except his life. My patient is operated on and restored to health— far perhaps' $200. But suppose: he does not have $� or even $2. What is he to db? I have sweat blood over that question many a time. It is outrageous tiliat a sick Haan s'hou'ld Ibe turned away from a hos- pital simply because he has no money. But is theme anything unique in this? Aren't hungry people turned away from restau+ran'tlsl?• Aren'lt ragged people turned away' from clothing stores? It is outrageous that I should refuse to treat some people and only half -treat others, but What else can I do? The'•Atrrolblenl here is not, medicaI, (but social aid e+conolmic. The solu- tion will come through, some form of state med'i'cine. This word is an- athema, of course, to, all right-think- ing doctors. Nevertheless, 50 years from now, I. believe that a majority of them will be on a salary. There will always be private doctors and hospitals,, just as there are private schools. But most children go , to public schools; and 'most /poor sick people in the future wi•lI go to tax - supported hospitals. Then, of course, a doctor • makes nistakes, lots orf mistake., It is pre- posterous to -think that 150,000 men elected at random should' all be sci entists and artists. They are not. The average doctor is a trailer, a airep-follower, Who contributes anoth- ntg to medical science but merely ries, according to his lights, to ap-• ly what other men have found out. This latter work is done by a num- erically negligible ;percentage of the rofession; indeed many of them are of even in the profession. Pasteur vas itot a doctor at all. Is the aver- ge telephone lineman, a Steinmetz, r the average power -house attend- nt an Edison? The outlook of the verage ordinary doctor is no more kin to 'that of Dr. William Welch r William Osler than the physical utlook of a lowly catfish paddling round in a mudhole is akin to that f a bald eagle soaring in the em- yrean. Personally, I'm one of the at'fish, and I can testify that the ole is crowded. But even the close contact and the eddy water does not !blind me to. he virtues .of my companions.. Orn he whole 'they are not a bad yet •tf en, I know of no men whe. work ander to put /(themselves out of asiness. •The medical profession has aged relentless war to prevent dis- ase and improve the public health. e it noted, in passing, that in this hey have fought almrost. cingle- anded and have put such measures rto effect . against the determined nd even violent resistance of the ery public they were trying to help, you do not believe this then go ead the history of the struggle for omrpulsory, vaccination, the segrega- on of comlmunicable diseases, the anitary disposal of sewage and ante, gad a hundred 'other things. Just give us tee. And remember rat 300 years ago we did not even now that the blood circulated. Umpire (Condensed from The American Mer- cury, April, '32, by Reader's Digest) His word is law., He averages 120 dcr isions a day for 154 days of the year. The careers of scores• of other, men and the interest of millions can (be ,swayed by his judgment. His .leerees must be delivered instantly. FIe has rbe'en doing it for 28 years- 1 asked him: "Bill, do you honeAtly believe that you never called) one wrong?" The man leans forward. A heavy, clm•ost pudgy, hand beats twice a- gainst his left breast in the neigh- borhood of his heart. He • speaks eatnestly, slowly. "No, never have I Missed one here." • 1 try again. "Bill, don't you think that it is possible that you could mists one?" Again, the man leans forward. His yes are small, of a faded blue. They ate not eyes that flash. You Haight call • them expressionless, yet some- how they express the intensity of the men, his calm certainty. Once more the hand is raised a- gainst the left breast. • "I could miss one, maybe. But never from here." The man is William J. Klein, the veteran alational League Umpire and generally credited with 'beim' the best in the Ibursiness. "I defy any Man," be saps, "to prove that I have ever called a fouil ball fair, orr a fair ball foul." Braggadocio? Vanity? A Gil- bert tenrd +Sullivan character? Nd, not if you see the res r and talk with him. It is the terse, simple challenge of one who is right with himself. "Bill, how do you know that you never missed one?" "If I missed ene I would know it here." The hand c'om'es back to the breast. Piece by piece the nuan is not im- pres,sive. Ile is stocky and slightly over medium height, but his bowed legs make hi mrseenn shrtlaller. His ears are large andstilt* out. Ball, xarm,turuo„��,., EVALYN KNAPP — Warner Bros.

But Watc;'r him out • on the baseball field. There is a .stubbornness, a dogged certainty, a sincerity about the rigid' frame that is compelling. "Bill, they say that you are the Ibesrt umrpire in the business. Never- theless tisere are,arguinents at times. Some of the players must really think then that you have missed one. W'hart about it?" The man leans forward again. He points with a stubby finger. "Right here on this field I said that a player who made a dive for a ball in the outfield' didn't catch it. But he came up with it in his hands. He said he caught it. They believed' him." There is a pause. "But two months later he told the truth," Nothing more. ' -. Klem umpired in his first World Series in 1908. He has been in 15 of them in all during his twenty- eight years in the major leagues. "No other umpire has ever been in as many." He is not boasting. He is stating a fact. "Bill,., what. is the toughest decis- ion you ever had to make?" ,The heavy shoulders tighten. -. -?'They are all tough.'/ "But some must he toilgher. Some 'may decide a pennant or a World Series?" "They are all tough." To him, the job is all deadly serious. "Bill, Appose another umpire ov- erruled you?" He is almost startled: "They couldn't do it." "Suppose a manager disagreed with you and thought that another umpire was in a better position to 'see the play?" "He could ask, bet only if . I gave him permission." The inference is that the permission would not be given lightly. "Suppose you have Some do bt a- bout 'whether a ball is fair or foul? Suppose another umpire is in better position to see it? •Wouldn't you wok?" "I never ask. I know." When Klem was a young minor league umpire the star of one of the teams was known as an umpire - fighter. One dui Bill made a deci- sion which went against the star's Team, The star came running over wrathfully. I ill wafted forward a few steps. Then with his spiked toe he drew a line in the dirt. directly in the path of the- star. He stood behind that :ine. That was a hush. The crowd knew that something was about to happen. The piaye•r halted. K1ern stood there calmly a moment, The player -returned to his positio•r. All umpires do that now when forced to extremes. Perhaps it was Es11P move that marked the end of the umpire-tightera. - Unvplres, of course, keep smart front the players except during work- ing hours. But they will exchange greetings if they happen to meet on the street or on a train'. 1<lern is aloof, solitary. "I am an umpire, e orning, `noon and night, Winter and Sum'mer," he says. He originated •a new school of um- piring. Each decision is made clear to the crowd. There is an emphatic wave of the right hand to denote a strike, a toss of the left hand for a ball. Hands are spread • palrms down and moved parallel to the ground if the man is safe. An upward jerk of the right arm indicates that the man is out, "A man is safe for he is out. It's a•ball or a strike. The players [should know. When it started we had a lot of trouble getting some of the old-timers to do it. They thought it was showing off." Klein knows nothing of psychology as it is taught in text books, yet those gestures, quick and forceful, satisfy the mob and halt an irate player in his tracks. It is the ma-" jevty of tare law. He has umpired games in every State and Territory except Alaska. He travelled around the world with the Giants and• White Sox on one of their tours He gets hundreds oft letters every year from fans, asking him to settle some dispute as to baseball rules. He answers every letter. His salary is $12,500 a' year. He is the highest paid empire' tin record, Apropos of nothing he tells rile story. a ' IYmrpires used to be scared Shout their eyes. They would be afraid to he seen wearing glasses even when reading. Orle .year the leagtie presi- dent told us all to go have our eyes examined. I was asking for a $1000 .raise that year.. The oculist had never -seen me before. • Didn't kaow who I was. After he got through he said, 'TVs not often I see a per- ,fect pair of eyes. You have, them.' I got the raise." "Is perfect eyesight the main at- tribute of a good umpire?" "No. The main qualities mush be good judgment, nerve and the ability to handle a crisis." Umpires, like other men, do not. want to 'be considered old. They guard their ages jealously, lest ad- vancing years be considered a sign of infirmity and they be retired from duty. Klem spoke. "Do you know how old so-and-so is? Well, neither do I' . Bat I was born at 'Rochester -on Felbra- ary 22, in the year 1874,, at seven o'clock in the evening. I am in per-. feet health and condition."
