Hair of the Dog

One of your articles alluded to the in
fluence of certain animal emanatlons upon
persons subject to spasmodic or bronchial
asthma. l never have an attack unless I
visit my husbands mothers home, where
there are two dogs. Sometimes ! am in
the house only few minutes when the
attack comes on. The house is but a few
miles from our home. Do you think IL
possible that the attack is In my case pro-
duced by inhaling dust or emanatlons from
the bodies of these dogs?
Answer. Very likely. Some individuals
suffer an attack IL they ride after a horse
or enter a stable. Others suffer II a cat
enters the room. Many victims have at
tacks II they eat certain proteins-certaln
shellfish, eggs, cheese. In other cases the
foreign protein is produced within the
body In some hidden or neglected septic
focus by bacteria. In any case, the prob
lem is, find the protein to which the pa
tient is sensitive, and immunize the pa
tlent against that protein by a prolonged
series OF minute injectons-a hair OF the
