Rheumatism

Abstract

Obviously it is beyond the scope of this essay to enter into a full and critical account of all the above various conditions to which the term rheumatism has been in one sense or other applied. Such being,then, both unnecessary and inadvisable, I shall restrict my efforts to the consideration of such common forms of the disease as acute articular rheumatism(including the subacute variety and the affection in children), chronic rheumatism,muscular rheumatism,and gonorrhoeal rheumatism,as well as arthritis deformans.
