Tho sufferers are nearly all married women, and the pains of the new ailnient are confined to the shoulder. The doctor who discovered the nature and tho cause of the now pain is a deductive man with something of the Sherlock Hplmes in his method of diaffnnsi« who practises on one of London's norlliern heights. He noted that almost all his shoulder-pain patients dwell at sunie distance, with an uphill climb, from the shops; he questioned his patients and elicited that they have to make sevral trudges home weekly with baskets of household nrovender that tho li'n<'f=i>ien cannot deliver. "Ynu have not got rheumatism." ho fold firm; "you have strained the should"r niu a cles. through carrying awkward wcii'hrs. Your trouble is 'liousewife's should'-' Ti,n -~'•-? Jiake your husband take his turn."
