Glasses Of Pollen.
This ailment has sometimes been
called seasonal" pollen fever be-
cause it is due to pollen in the
air. There is, first, the spring type
almost always due to tree pollens-
oak, birch, maple, hickory, elm !;
second, the summer type due to
grasses, timothy, June grass. or
chard grass, red top, sweet vernal,
Iplantain; third, the autumn type
due almost always to ragweed
pollen.
The symptoms are familiar to
everybody-itching of nose and
throat with violent sneezing, itch
ing of eyelids, redness and soreness
of the eyelids, tears flowing, dread
of light, mucous from nose, ears
stuffy, and a forehead headache.
Naturally with these symptoms
present the patient often becomes
weak, irritable, depressed; loses his
appetite and is often unable to
sleep.
Retreat Is Best Cure.
The best treatment is likewise
known to everybody; that is, get
ting away from regions where the
pollen is plentiful. This, of course.
is impossible for the majority of
people.
The correction Of any nose and
throat cOndition-spurs, enlarged
turbinates and tonsils, infected ST.
nuses-should be the first step.
The second step is the desensitiz-
ing of the patient by the type of
pollen that is causing the symp-
toms. This is done by injecting the
pollen extracts under the skin two
or three months before the expect
ed attack. The injections are given
once or twice a week, the dose be-
ing gradually increased. This may
have to be done for two or three
years before results are obtained.
Local applications containing
Ephedrine or observation-disclosures

Removing Gas Pressure

Removing SdS PRESSURE
.NNE of the distressing all
" ments that gives great dis
comfort and pain is an accumu-
lation of gas in the large intes-
tine.
The pressure Is so great at times
that the individual feels as If he
would burst. The heart action may
be affected and there is a feeling
that unconsciousness or even death
may occur.
Various remedies may have been
used for this condition, an old
favorite being baking soda. Lat
terly the use of tincture of BELLA
donna has been freely used with
the idea of removing the contrac-
ton or spasmodic condition of the
bowel.
Enema Is Best.
For many years, the best home
remedy has been an enema or in
lection of about a quart of warm
soap suds. Physicians advise against
the use of soap suds, as they are
too harsh and irritate the delicate
mucous membrane or lining of the
bowels. They advise that the quart
of warm water without soap be
used, as it is just as effective and
does not leave the lining of the bow
els in an inflamed condition.
AS this accumulation of gas in
the intestines occurs frequently
after the use of ether during an op-
Grafton and retardS the recovery of
the patient, some surgeons prefer
the use of spinal anesthetics where
the pain-killing drug is injected into
the spinal cOrd-the large nerve
running down the center of the
backbone.
The European Formula.
Recently some European physi-
clans have been experimenting with
a strong salt solution which was
used as an enema in cases of severe
gas distension following surgical
operations.
Instead of using the ordinary So
luton of table salt, that is about
one-quarter teaspoonful of table
salt to a half cupful of water, they
used about four level teaspoonfulS
to the half cupful of water as an
enema, and this small amount of
salt and water always obtained a
prompt emptying of the bowel.

Steel ingot output has risen to
76 per cent, a new peak for the

scarp prices are pointing upward:
an eastern blast furnace, which

There has unqueStionably been
considerable anticipatory buying,
but it can hardly be called Specu-

requirements within the next two

The mills have limited orders so
that all shipments of loW-price
tonnage can be made by January

shapes and pH'ss in particular,
has new buying been in relatively
small volume. Sheet makers are
out of the market at fourth quar-
