In these there may, or may not, be a bacterial factor, while there is some evidence to suggest in some of them a hereditary pre- disposition.
There is, at any rate, no single cure for all these forms of chronic rheumatism, although in the treat- ment of them all there are cer- tain basic points to he remember- ed.

A long-continued self-infection from some septic focus may often be partly, if not wholly, respon sible; and in certain cases the mere removal of a few decayed teeth may have an almost magic effect. Any possible cause of such sepsis should therefore, be looked for, and, if its existence established, should be suitably' treated.

But if not, a reasonable activity. under medical observa- tion, may be a useful ald in de- laying progress of the condition or effecting" improvement.
