ERYSIPELAS OR on either an "SAINT ANTHONY'S water fast, SAINT ANTHONY was credited with many miraculous cures of those who appealed to him during the scourge of erysipelas which swept over France in 1089. From this, the disease its popular name of "Saint Anthony's but it is now called erysipelas. This is an inflammation of the skin which causes a very striking shininess.

The skin is inflamed, red, feels hot when touched, seems tight and there is a swollen area which is raised above the rest of the skin. Erysipelas usually begins on the face, but may come elsewhere on the body, and the inflammation of the skin with the red patch is accompanied by a definite toxemia and a high fever, The redness shows on the first day and by the second day, it will have spread, when the rest of the face may be so swollen that it is Hard to recognize the features. While this is a germ disease, the underlying cause is a systemic toxemia and those whose resistance is a systemic toxemia and those whose resistance is normal will not be bothered by the germ. It is occasionally known to follow an operation, frequently accompanies Bright's Disease and the weaknesses due to age. Most cases come in Spring and the disease is known all over the world.

An average attack will last about ten days and is self-limited, that is, patient will usually recover even if nothing is done. However, those who have one attack usually have others, as many as twenty of them appearing, unless the patient is willing to remove the basic cause; then he will be safe from subsequent attacks. The true cause of this disease is a condition of chronic poisoning. To cure erysipelas, it is necessary to treat deeper than the skin and to eliminate the underlying toxic condition of the body. The fever also indicates a bodily toxemia and the purpose of the fever is to assist in burning up these poisonous wastes.

The right treatment is very simple and will lessen the time of the attack and keep the patient from feeling so weak after the fever has left. The first thing is to stop all food. Give plenty of water to drink.
