Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
The passing of “the medicine show”
…a hopeful message about arthritis
Some of us can remember the colorful "medicine show"
of yesteryear . . . and the persuasive, but deceptive, oratory
of the self-styled "doctor." The remedies he offered were
fantastic, especially his "sure cure" for arthritis . . . or
rheumatism as it was always called in those bygone days.
Fortunately, the old-fashioned ``medicine man" and his
"sure cures" are on the way out. This is because nearly all
of us now know the folly of relying on any treatment for
arthritis other than those authoritatively approved.
This enlightened attitude is all to the good. For arthritis,
if it is to be successfully controlled, must be precisely
diagnosed and treated according to the needs of each
individual patient.
Even though there are as yet no specific cures, much can
be done for the more than five million people in our country
whose cases have been diagnosed as arthritis, in one
of its many forms.
For example, osteoarthritis or degenerative joint diseases
. . . the type associated with aging . . . need not
cause severe disability if diagnosed early and if the patient
follows the doctor’s advice. Indeed, this kind of arthritis
usually responds well to treatment based on rest, weight
control, mild exercise and avoidance of both mental and
physical factors that may aggravate the disease.
Another common type of arthritis...rheumatoid arthritis
. . . is a more serious disease because it involves not only
the joints, but the entire body. Moreover, it is not associated
solely with old age. Rather it affects people of all
ages, most frequently young persons and adults in their
prime.
Fortunately, certain hormone extracts and other medications
have brought great benefits to many who have this
type of arthritis. It is not yet known, however. how permanent
the effects of these treatments will be.
The greatest good to be derived from any method of
therapy for any type of arthritis depends not upon the
doctor alone, but upon the patient as well. It is of the
greatest importance for the patient to cooperate fully with
the doctor, especially in regard to continuing treatment for
as long as it may be required.
In fact, when rheumatoid arthritis is recognized early
and treatment is carried out faithfully, well over 50 percent
of those who have this condition can be spared serious
disability and will obtain marked improvement.
Metropolitan's booklet, called ‘Arthritis’, gives a concise,
helpful and encouraging account of this disease, including
safeguards against it. Just clip the coupon below and a
free copy will be mailed to you.
