By 1921 several wards were devoted entirely to patients with rheumatic fever, chorea, and rheumatic heart disease and in 1931 the entire hospital was given over to the treatment and study of rheumatic fever and related diseases. Buried in the records of the hospital is a vast store of clinical information. Some of it has already been used, but much remains to be analyzed and evaluated.
