Rheumatic endocarditis in children

The term "Rheumatism" has probably been ascribed by the profession to diseases which are essentially different both pathologically and clinically. To term a condition "rheumatic" is too often to cloak one's ignorance of what the true diagnosis is. In spite of the careful and tedious researches of such men as Church, Triboulet, Still, Poynton, Paine,Singer, etc. our knowledge of what we term "Rheumatism" is still imperfect. The pathology has only of late years been at all accurately worked out. As it is upon this that a true diagnosis of rheumatism hangs, I am desirous of referring to it at some length.
