ing complaint. The physicians OF the
Western metropolis are out in inter
views giving IL as their individual and
collective belief that owing to the
phenomenalIy wet summer there will
be little or no hay fever this year. AS
is we'll known, hay fever Is caused by
the pollen of the various plants, es-
pecially the ragweed, being blown
through the air producing in the vic
tins an Inflammation Of the mucous
membrane of the nose and eyes, and
other symptoms of bronchitis and
asthma.
The Chicago reasoning starts from
the indsputable hypothesis that IL
the cause is removed there can be no
hay fever. The physicians figure that
the exceptionally wet summer will
have this effect, the heavy rains beat
ing the pollen of the ragweed into the
earth with such force that the winds
cannot resurrect it. Thousands Of hay
fever sufferers will await the proof of
this statement with anxiety. Granted
that the rains have had the effect as
cribed, the only question is, have they
driven the pollen deep enough to with
stand the probable results of few
days Of torrid weather and the revival
of the pollen in the form OF clouds of
dust? But, If the prediction is veri-
fed, the hay fever association will
have no cause to complain OF the un-
seasohable summer. 1t will have prov.
ed a decided beneficenee to them, at
any rate.
