insisting that they have had attacks
Of sneezing brought on by looking at
an oil painting OF goldenrod and

It's well established fact that the
exciting cause Of hay fever is the
pollen Of any OF a hundred OF more
plants and grasses carried about on
the wind. Because the wind cannot
be depended on TO carry each grain OF
pollen 70 the right flower to promote
fertilization. a great many extra
grains are produced, so that some
will be sure TO fulfil their purpose.
Thus. in the case OF ragweed. II is
estimated that several million grains
OF pollen are scattered on the wind
for every grain which lands on a rag
weed plant.
