Science Battles Rheumatic Fever e When the life histories of p&tients who have had rheumatic fever in childhood are examined, it has been shown that over 50% will have suffer ed from acute arthritis (or joint in flammation) 66% from heart disease and 50% from St. Vitus dance, says Dr. Richard D. Rowe, of the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, in the current issue of Health magazine, of ficial publication of the Health League of Canada. Finding the cause of the disease has never been a particularly easy task, says Dr. Rowe, and the basic cause of rheumatic fever still eludes medical men. However, it is generally accepted now that almost all attacks of rheum atic fever follow a streptococcal sore throat. About 97% of those suffering from a "strep” throat will recover easily, but the remaining three percent, after having the same germ, the same fever, the same sore throat, and the same apparent recovery, the fever two or three their initial illness. The most important rheumatic fever control preventing subsequent attacks. The common age for the first attack is between 5 and 10 years. After the first attack, there is a risk of re currence of about 50% if the child is infected with the streptococcus germ again. If a tablet or two of one of the sulfa drugs is taken every day all year around until the child is 18 years old, the risk of a second attack is re duced to a very small figure. Penicil lin by mouth is also effective, though much more expensive, and may cause allergies. Both of these drugs kill off the streptococcus germ before it gains a foothold and therefore prevent rheumatic fever. The 3% minority of the population which develop rheumatic fever from a "strep” throat could be prevented from ever having rheumatic fever if every streptococcal infection were to be .treated with a single large injec tion of a new type pencillin called "benzathine” penicillin. . "If such a measure couid be carried but from a practical viewpoint,” says Dr. RoWe, "and there are obvious difficulties in the way of this ideal, rheumatic fever and, consequently, rheumatic heart disease couici be wip ed out” MORE CONTROL OF FIREWORKS URGED FOR ONTARIO CENTRES A resolution asking the Provincial Government to give municipalities greater control over the sale and use of fireworks was approved last week by a Windsor by-law enforcement committee.
