TO PREVENT HAY FEVER
aIlsroblan Character orths Disease Key

TO hcItets
What Is your date with hay fever? II
you are afflicted with the disease, you
know and anticipate the time of Its an
nual return with much Of the dread
with which the condemned criminal
looks forward to the time of the execu-
ton of his sentence, or the insolvent
debtor regards the date when his note
falls due. Indeed, your expectation is
even more certain, for death has It's re-
preves and debt Its day OF grace-taxes
even, may be sworn of-but no appeal
or adjuntlon has weight with Mr.. Hay
Fever Bacillus, whose mlcrobian crop
must be gathered at Just the one part!c-
ular season OF the year. for which the
soil of your constitution Is exactly
adapted,
The scientific explanation OF this cur
lous periodlclty Is that the conditions OF
life OF hay fever sufferers are always
the same, and therefore the mlcroblan
element develops under the same In
nuenCes every year at about the same
time-that Is, when the atmospheric con-
dltlons become favorable for the devel-
opment Of the spores or germs which
are the cause OF the trouble. These
spores grow, under proper conditions OF
temperature and dampness. In the mu-
cous secretlons Of the nostrils, thereby
producing Inflammation and liberation
Of the mucous membrane.
These o-orSanisms continue their
growth as long as favorable atmosphere
10 conditions exist. and disappear as
soon as the temperature falls. rhen the
effects disappear with their causes and
the patient gets rid Of his trouble.
The cause OF hay fever being thus
well establlshed.lt is easy to understand
that any harmless remedy having tho
property TO destroy germs, VIII surely
cure. or at least prevent, the disease by
removing the cause.
The remedy offered by nature is
ozone. an element found In the atmos-
phere under exceptionally favorable
conditions, especially when the air Is
rareHed, as at the tops OF mountains.
Accordingly, sufferers from hay fever

or. be secured In a for handler and more
effective way at home by the use OF
hydrozone, 4 powerful, yet harmless
concentrated solutlon OF pure peroxide
OF hydrogen, which contains a large
amount OF nascent oxygen near TO the
| condition of ozone. In organisms which
are the cause of hay fever ore Instantly
annihilated. and the diseased mucous
membrane OF the nostrils Is therefore
restored to health.
The above statement IL strongly sus-
tained by the annual report OF the Unit
ed States Hay Fever association for 1871,
gives the following account OF case OF
hay fever and fts treatment, which thor
| ougly exempllfles the foregoing theory
of-the cause and the cure OF the disease
1.-THE case was In my own family, n
| brother-in-law. He Is forty-hVc years
Of age weighs about 200 pounds, and Is
slx-footer. He contracted the disease
about fifteen years ago while attending
a camp meeting. Since then II has mp
peared every year with the punctunlity
OF good clockwork, on the 18th OF Au'
gust. Early In the morning, rain OF
shine, the snee2ing would commence
with the Ychemence OF volcano In tull
eruption.
II rccollect my first experience with
the case. was called to the patient
late In the night. at the period OF the
hay asthma. Hc had returned from the
White Mountains, where hc used TO
spend the season, too soon, md got this
attack. / found the gentleman stand
Ing at the foot OF the bed holding on TO
the woodwork and breathing like an ag-
gra7aicd bellows. Before had visited
my patient I had stormcd all the hand
books on the subject, and took along o
vast number Of prescriptions, which
were recommended by the great authors,
but thoy oil failed TO help the asthma,
| Tho pnroxyBmal attacks returned upon
the slightest change In the weather, ana
| the asthma ran It's gclf-llmitcd course In
spite OF all my remedies That was six
years ago Since then / have cNpor'
mcntcd with the good man. who was a
patient subject with all the available
| drugs and medicines ! cautrrlzcd his
noatrIlq, burned II with the thcrmo and
galvnno cnutcry, brushed n, washed II,
