to prevent the pollizination of the
ragweed. All hay fever sufferers
should explain TO the owners of va.
cant lots, the relationship between
ragweed and hay fever, which is as
clearly established as are many other

while some constitutional condi-
tons, and special sensitiveness of the
breathing passages may be a predis-

ceptible patients, at any time of the
year, by simply applying a few par
ticles of the pollen to their nostrils.
When this is fully understood by the
public, vacant lots and hay fever pro-
ducing weeds will soon become rare in
the vicinity OF residences"
