HAY FEVER.

In the great majority of instances,
the hay fever victim is just as healthy
~ mankind in general, with the ex-
cOption Of this odd idiosyncrasy mani
Testing Itself with wonderful regularity
At certain seasons of the year. Hence.
we should reduce the cause of hav
fever to two factors: frat, the idiosvn-
craay; and second, the irritank
The latter from its woll-knowu
promptnesS rs to date Of recurrence Il.
beyond doubt, product Of the veReta-
BILE world At the same time our in
vestigationS have convinced IN that
theru must be some specific poison that
accompanies the pollen in its annual
passage through the air. This may be
of an animal living principle, N in
fusOry animalculeS which are known
to accompany all vegetation, as every
thing In nature seems to have its own
peculiar parasite. Or, what h Just as
probable, the poison u = peculiar
acrid substance similar TO that
found In the poison ivy. II this
were not the case, pollen would
simply act as any other foreign sub
stance floating in tho atmosphere, al
dust or minute particles Of substances
derived from tho animal, mineral and
vegetable Kingdoms, and which are
constantly being inhaled to greater
or lesser extent by every one, entirely
unnoticed by those In possession Of or
binary health. The treatment thus In
dictated has been successfully used for
the past three seasons, in a large num-
Der of cases It II only the modern an
tiseptic treatment pure and simple, so
that when the proper materials are
faithfully applied, it bids fair 70 SnaveF
