> The Chairman, briefly Stating the OBJ
iect of the meeting, said IAN organiza-
tion, of this character, with similar OBJ
ject in view, was organized at Bethle-
hem, n. H., i'm 1S7I.al. On account of the
utter inability Of western patients to
reach eastern localities. the ride y.on the
cars being attended with so much dust
and cinders, Chat it would predispose or
aggravate an attack. that organization
would seem to be of no practical benefit
to western patients, so far at least as ac-
quaintance and sociality are concerned.
TO meet togethef each year and, exchange
views as to what remedies have been
tried and what regions have provedsto be
exempt, must prove of natural benefit.
whileIat all events am annual meeting OF
those afflicted will certainly promote so-
ciability. for
"A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind
The island, of Maekinaw-, is -unQuestion-
ably a place nearer exempt from the am.
nual attack than any locality known
west, and ea account Of its long lines of
water communication, by which car trav-
eAngris avoided, must prove more and
more each year the Mecca to which the
feet of hay fever pilgrims will tend
Aside from its being an exempt region,
it is place unsurpassed in natural
beauty, its people are hospitable and
social, and this society, when organized,
can cordially invite ALI sufferers seeking
relief, to make AIackmaM island-the
National park-a yisiI." ~

gaf1ization shall be known As the West
