Pain Is Intense
The pain is intense, the leg is rigid, the mureles are drawn into a kmol, and the leg cannot be straigh- tened. The patient jumps out of bed, frequently crying out in agony and tries to rub the pain, and cramp away. As soon as possible they stand on the foot and try to straighten the knot out. If it can be undone, the severe paln
is relieved
and the remaining soreness becomes less.
There may be no recurrence that night or for several nights. In other patients. the cramp returns as coun as the patient lies down, making sleep dimculi. Some even prefer to sleep
a
chair, so great is their fear of attack.
In
here
are several diseases that present similar symptoms. One of these is called myotonia congorilta. It is rather common in Germany, This is a hereditary disease, first making its appearance in childhood. In this disease, the cramp occurs when the victim tries to make some voluntary movement. He wills to raise an arm or fool; the muscles but no movement occurs draw up, for several seconds or longer. There is marked hesitation, of motion, but after several attempts, the arm or leg vers and soon the cramp ceases. Some few years ago, Drs
Woll
and Kennedy, as reported in a study from Londen, in using various drugs to overcome this spasm of the muscles, of discovered that smull amounts quinine taken for a prolonged period relieved this contraction and resulted in a cure, though previously the con- lition was thought incurable.
recovers
These cramps also occur in circula- tory troubles. Poor circulation, par- leularly in the legs due to obstruc- tion of the small arteries, causes cramps and intense pain. The trop- ble is common in arteriosclerosis and diabetes, with gangrene as a possible result.

Quinine Treatment Working along this same line were Drs Hermou and Moss, of the Univer- sity of Cincinnat, using their glass bont called a "Pavaex machine" Improve circulatory troubles. March, 1939, Dr Moss, noting the re- sults of quinine to relieve night

After a short period of time, the dose was reduced to four or six grains a day. The first course of treatment
for one month. Then the
quin- ine was discontinued and n capsule containing just a white powder was given. Most cases complained of cramps
shortly after, but were promptly relieved when the quinine medication was resumed. Some re- mained well after a short period of treatment.
Thla discovery of the value of quinine in night cramps will be a great boon to many thousands of elderly people who suffer from this condition.
