Because arthritis and rheumatism are painful and crippling and may drag on for a lifetime, despairing victims are easy prey for quacks. They spend an estimated $250 million a year for treatments that are worthless-or, worse, dangerous.

On a visit to Washington last month, Alves argued that he needed help right now; his starving people were easy prey for the militant, Communist-led Peasant Leagues sweeping Brazil's northeastern states. Returning home, Alves visited President Joao Goulart, eventually won his agreement to bypass federal channels. Moscoso himself was convinced after a few days in the impoverished backlands.
