I't;erms get into the` wound, survive
and multiply. And even though the
original,' wound seemed insignificant,
extremely serious infections may
follow.•••
Among the germs that often enter
the tissues through breaks in the
skin ;,is the streptococcus, This viru-
lent germ is a common cause of day-
gerous "bloocl'poisoning." Another
possible rclsult of wounds incurred tin-
der certain conditions is lockjaw, And
there are ‘others almost equally seri-
ous.•
Care Determines Results
The point is that the size of a
wound is not always an index to its
seriousness. The presence or absence-,
of infection,.and the kind of infection
largely decide this. And whether or.
not infection develops at the site of
a wound is largely detcri*iiied by
how the wound i s cared for._
Trivial wounds should :be ,painted
with iodine or mercu:-ochronie.„..p his
should be done witl,vut' washing the
wound. Attempts at washing are
likely.to introduce germs if •these arel
not already present, Than tl e.tivounde,
should be covered with sterile gauz
care being taken- not to ,‘touch " the
surface of 'the- gauze that cones in
contact' with the wound. For it is
possible to introduce germs into a
wound even after' it is'received.
Wounds that are dirty; or dean,,
that bleed very freely, or are ragged,
should be cared for by a doctor. And
even slight wounds, that show signs
of soreness should receive•medical at-
tention.
.Proper care of, slight wounds
would prevent many serious infec-
tions.
Questions and Answers
No Evidence For It •
Mrs. G. F. C. writes: "I was read-
ing an article on hardening of the ar-
teries in which the author said that
`drinking hard water caused the arter-
ies to harden on account of the lime.'
This interested` me because we happen
to, live where the. drinking water is
hard. Is it true that drinking hard
water makes the arteries hard?"
Reply •
There,does not seem to be any
scientific evidence in support of the
idea;-•
Arthritis
L.D. writes: "I Base what the doc-
tors call arthritis. My joints are stiff
Iand sometimes, feel sore, and they
crack sometimes when I bend them.
I have felt this way for a long time
and would like to know what I can
do to get rid of it., What causes ar-
thritis, and is there any cure for it
after you have had it for some time?"'
Reply..
Arthritis means inflammation of
a joint. In the more acute forms it
is the characteristic feature of in-
flammatory rheumatism. It seems
to be caused by infection.' The in-
fection often appears to enter the sy-
stem through the tonsils. The chron-
ic forms also appear to be due to.•in-.
f.ection, as a general thing. Abnor-
malities is the metabolism.—the chem-
istry of the building up and tearing
down of cells—flay possibly be a
cause in some of the forms. There
are the chronic fortis -in which the
joints have a tendency to become de-
formed. (Arthritis'deformans.)
It is very essential that all infec-
tions; should be gotten rid of. if the
disease is to be arrested. The teeth,
the tonsils; the sinuses and other
structures which may harbor infec-
tions, should be carefully examined.
Massage, fresh air, and vaccine
treatment if your physician thinks it
advisable in your case, may help you.
You cannot be assured to complete
recovery from the structural changes
that have already taken place in your
joints, even though you get rid.of the.
cause.
Measles And Light
Mrs. F, A. W:writes': "There were
measles in the family of one of our
neighbors a little while ago. Their
doctor wanted them to let the stirs
shine into the room where the chil-
dren with the measles' were. That
seemed to be wrong advice to' me, as
light is bad for the eyes in a case of
measles. Isn't this so?"
Reply
It is not considered advisable to
keep the room darkened in cases of
measles. Sunlight kills the contagia
ons :material of measles. If the eyes,
are inflamed, smoked glassed or
glasses with blue lenses should be
worn by the patient. But let the
