A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of all the afflictions to which the human body is heir there is none that is capable of inflicting such exquisite torture upon its victims as rheumatism. In the days of the persecutions an iron statue of the Virgin Mary was made so that the arms would enfold the victim and pierce him with many wounds. Thrust into the arms of the iron Virgin, the poor heretic was soon jabbed by knives that issued from the inner sides of the arms and by a pointed tongue that issued from the mouth. It was intended to illustrate the contempt of the Virgin Mary for those who turned their back upon the pope. But that suffering was nothing compared with the pain that the hot-footed devils of torture thrust into the joints and ligaments and muscles of a rheumatic patient. The agonies of the victim of the ancient statue were all of the same kind; the agonies of the rheumatic are almost as varied as the attacks are numerous.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
