Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rheumatism, Gout and Some Allied Disorders The term Rheumatism, in the sense in which it is now used, dates from about three centuries ago. Previous to this time writers comprehended under the term arthritis this disease with gout and all other inflammations of the joints, ligaments, and muscles. Anciently the words rheuma and rheumatism denoted all those diseases in which it was supposed that the blood became impregnated with acrid humors, phlegm, bile, or other noxious materials. Hippocrates states that the bile mingles with the blood in the veins and articulations, causing swelling of the joints, or extending to the whole body, producing acute pain. In this view, with some modifications, Hippocrates was followed by most of the later writers. From this group, these writers separated the diseases of the mucous membranes under the general head of catarrhs; all the other members of the group retained the designation of rheumala. In 1610, William de Baillou published his thesis on rheumatism, in which he showed the distinction between this disease and gout. Sydenham, who lived fifty years later than Baillou, even more distinctly divided these two diseases. Cullen, Stoll, and Yan Swieten in their teachings promoted these views and framed their treatment accordingly.
