Calif. ARE merely serving as St. Vitm Dance Nervous Disease By H. L.

HERSCHENSOHN, MD St. Vitus dance is a disease of the nervous system characterized by uncontrollable movements of the body, arms, and legs without having any purpose. Certain muscles jerk. Most cases are associated with rheumatic fever. Tn fact, about 50 per cent of young persons who have rheumatic fever are afflicted with St.

Vitus dance sooner or later. It affects girls more than boys and is rarely seen after the age of 20, When it does occur in young adults it usually happens while the person is pregnant. This condition should be suspected when a young girl becomes clumsy and has a constant tendency to drop objects. The youngster makes all kinds of grimaces, distorting her face. Although most of the muscles are affected with jerky movements the child can control them so that they can perform whatever task is desired.

The doctor must decide if this condition Is really St. Vitus dance or some other condition which closely resembles it. Sometimes these jerky movements are due to habit spasms. Most cases get well within several months although recurrences are common. During the period of illness the child requires excellent nursing care and warm understanding.

Dutchman's Secret Sate Superstition Trek Draws 2,000 At Dons Club Ease The Dons Club annual trek into the Superstition Mountains yesterday drew some 2,000 people to base camp, the largest crowd ever to take part in the event.
