with Mr.. Hay Fever Bacillus. whose microbian
crop must be gathered at just the one particular
season OF the year for which the soil OF your con-

The scientific explanation Of this curious periodic
ity Is that the conditions Of life Of hayfever surfer
ors are always the same. and therefore the MI
crobian element develops under the same innu-
ences every year at about the same tlme-that u.s.
when the atmospheric conditions become favorable
for the development of the spores or germs whica
are the cause Of the trouble. These spores grow.
