- You may have seen some recent stories in the press about Paget's bone
- disease. This chronic disease of the bone (also known as "osteitis
- deformans") can cause enlarged and deformed bones in one or more areas of the
- skeleton, including the skull. It is a common disease in people of Western
- European descent and occurs in from 1 to 3 percent of the American population.
- A new organization, The Paget's Disease Foundation, a voluntary health agency
- devoted to serving patients suffering from Paget's disease of the bone, and to
- the members of the medical profession who treat them, has prepared a new
- publication. The brochure entitled "Questions and Answers about Paget's
- Disease of the Bone" contains many of the questions about this disease that
- have often been asked of me, and the easy to understand answers. In fact the
- 29 "Q and A's" pretty well cover all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of
- the disease. You may have your free copy by sending a stamped, self addressed
- business size envelope to The Paget's Disease Foundation, 165 Cadman Plaza
- East, Brooklyn, NY 11201. If you suffer from this disorder, or know someone
- who does, this booklet is a must.
