RELIEF AT HAND
A Washington. D. C.. Chemist
and His Discovery

I
Cold, at this season Of the year. said a
well-Nnown physician, calls TO mind the
fact that Wilmington has more than It's
fun quota OF sufferers. While Il Is most
enjoying and distressing complaint, Il Is
Of periodical nature and there are many
months Of the year that the sufferer Is In
no ways afflicted. The medical term Is
! 'Hyperaesthetc Rhlnitis.' and there are
various causes why the affiction visits
some people yet others escape. There are
many sufferers who md relief In local
applications. There are others who have
/ TO go 70 some resort or out on the water
TO obtain any relief whatever. Some au-
thoritles call Il Summer Catarrh, or Au-
tumn Catarrh. as IL Is distinctly Of a
catarrhal nature"
Professor Charles r.. Saious. NJ. D. q
well-knoWn authority ON diseases Of the
nose and threat. lecturlng on tho sub
ject OF hay fever says: Hay Fever Is
caused by the pollen from certain plants
and flowers and by the dust which Is con-
stantly floating through the atmosphere
This dust, however. being an aggiomer-
alton Of the pollen Of an plants Of the
surrounding country capable OF acting az
irritants for tho mucous membrane, II
can thus be seen that dust Is the cause OF
Hay Fever, because IL is the common car
rier Of all obnoxious agents.
''Tho universal distribution OF dust In
cities as well as in the country furnishes
a ready explanation for the prevalence OF
the disease on land and not on the sea
The fact that 80 many OF the Hay Fever
Resorts enjoy a practical freedom OF The
disease and afford a certain degree ef re.
lief for those afflicted is due to the fact
that the dust contaminated. on account
OF its weight. can only reach In vers
small quantities such high attitudes az
the open sea and mountainous country
But very few OF these places enjoy alb
solute immunity. A strong wind having
I passed over a field. Il becomes impreg
mated with pollen or dust Of the countr,
roads and is liable 70 carry obnoxious
agents even to a mountainous region. Thii
accounts for the fact that in some com
munites there may be but one OF two al
ficted. but wherever We find an air heav'
laden with the dust OF the roads AM
the pollen Of flowers. you will hnd ha
fever prevailing to the extent that woul
be surprising II you could hear Of all th
| cases In that particular district
> but there is no mistake about thi
e dust theory. I have seen a well-de
e fined case OF hay fever in very hig
10 altitude produced by dust OF pole
from flowers OF plants which has a.
cumuiatcd en- clothes packed whl
the patient was in an infected distri'
Ia But upon brushing them in a clos
OF room the irritating dust was release
~ breathed into the nostrils, and
ie symptoms Of a well-dehned case
hay fever would be apparent In We
short time. This also accounts
the attacks that have occurred at s.
several days after ships leave poi
The infected dust was simply on Il
A clothes and, becoming detached. fioa
\ cd in the air and was breathed ini
the nostriIs and thus affected the mu'
.s Gus membrane.
d "rhis contamination, only talxin
e place at certain periods of the yea
% and the fact that the pollen froI
10 flowers is distributed and carried o
p ali currents at this particular tim'
Il proves conciusively that the actua
cause OF hay fever Is well known
medical science. because il Is onl
- in its active state is present"
HAY fever is probably more prevail
ent in large cities than In the cour
try districts, not because the citle
aro more unhealthy, but on account
n the density Of the population. we
