FIGHTING HAY FEVER.
NEW METHOD PROPOSED FOR SECURING
IMMUNITY.
DIR. H. HOLBROOK CURTIS THINKS THAT RAG
WEED TINCTURE MAY SERVE

Every season has its peculiar maladies. And
one which finds many victims in the late sum-
mer and early autumn is variously known as
"hay fever" HAY asthma and rose catarrh.'
The symptoms differ somewhat in different
cases. The chief ones are a distressing nasal
catarrh and a slight fever. Occasionally, how
ever the disorder takes the form of asthma, and
not infrequently it resembles bronchitis.
The belief is nearly universal among medical
men that this disease is caused by the pollen of
wild cultivated plants Roses and other
garden flowers have been held responsible, and
have mown hay and golden rod. The
majority of cases however. have been attributed
to a coarse. widely distributed weed. whose bo-
tancal name is ambrosia, but which Is popu-
larly known as ragweed. This is very abundant

Now inasmuch as ragweed is believed to be
more largely instrumental than other plants in
producing hay fever. DIR. Curtis resolved two
wears ago To make some experiments with it.
He employed a skilled ot2nist to secure a large
quantity Of the leaves and pollen of this plant.
From these a tincture and fluid extract were
made and samples were given to fifty hun
dred victims for trial. The remedy was to be
taken internally only, the hypodermic practice
having been abandoned entirely.

1t is curious to note how rapidly and in how
many directions the view of the toxic origin OF
disease. and especially of processes of degenera-
ton. has of late taken hold of the medical
mind. DR.. Lewis c. Bruce, writing in
THE British Medical Journal on the cause of
general paralysis of the insane, comes to the
conclusion that this disease is directly due TO
poisoning by the toxins of bacteria, whose
point of attack is through the gastric and in
testinal mucous membrane, and that although
ii Is probably a case of mixed poisoning the
bacillus coli Is apparently OF the nOxious
