a chemical fluid, known as Locl-es sou-
ton. was then poured into the funnel so that
it would wash the flesh. After a short inter
val it was removed and Analysed and re placed
with fresh solution, A chemical analysis re-
vealed what normal output of histamine was
being produced by these tissues.
But then ragweed pollen was introduced
into the little inverted funnel arrangement
People who were sensitive TO ragweed showed
a local reaction and reddening of the skin
And on chemical analysis il was found that
the production of hstamine was sharply in
creased by the tissues when the skin reac-
ton occurred.
What is important about the new discovery
of hstamine in a hay fever reaction is that
science already knows of an antidote for his
famine It is an engine known as histamin-
ase It breaks down histamine Just like the
engine pepsin in tho stomach breaks down
the protcins Of food and helps carry out di-
gestion.
Cases have been reported by great many
observers that histaminasc seems 10 overcome
some kinds Of allergy particularly that amaz-
ing type known as a sensitivity to cold. Peo-
pie allergic TO cold cannot go in swimming
without having their bodies break out with a
red rash red swelling. Others cannot
reach into an ice box for milk bottle with
out the same thing occurring.
In many instances it has been found that
tablets of hstaminase bring relief from the
symptoms of cold allergy by breaking down
the histaminc.
Doctors have been careful TO explain that
histaminase is no cure for the allergic symp-
toms which II relieves. The chemical seems
to conquer the rash when it appears, but It
does not prevent another attack II is like

Such swelling, when it occurs in the bron-
chial tubes and the other parts of the res
piratory system, causes the sitting and
suffocating symptoms of asthma, or the sniff
files and inability to breathe through the nose.
that occurs in hay fever
This same action of histamine explains
too, why the end result can produ the ana
phylactic shock. So much OF the fluid por-
ton of the blood goes over into the tissues
and out Of the blood stream that the blood
pressure falls as il characteristicary does in
shock. There just isn't enough fluid for the
heart TO pump.
The treatment for shock as many people
now know, is to inject blood plasma. bring up
the total volume of the blood and in this way
raise the blood pressure
Actually histamine is not present in body
tissue; not normally at any rate. What is
present in the body cell is a chemical called
histidne. When the body cell is injured. or
irritated as in hay fever histidine acts as the
father, or mother-the parent substance-of
histamne.
How the reaction works is shown by the
diagrams on this page which are adapted
from the book Strange Malady" by DR.
Warren T. Vaughan and published by Double
day Doran. AS volume of the science series
of books of the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science DR.. Vaughan's book
on alergy is an excellent treatise for the
layman.
In the cell reaction histidine is converted
into histamine and the william histamine goes
to work in the blood stream. Blood vessels ex-
pand, or u1iate the doctors call it. This
causes fall in blood pressure.
At the same time some of the fluid part
of the blood passes out among the cells and
makes the Characteristic swelling of the It's
sues that is often found in allergy. And
this further lowers the blood pressure.
AS one example, in the allergic ament Of
asthma the passages going 10 the lungs arc so
swollen that breathing is extremely difficult
and this accounts for the torturing, choking
sensation Of asthma victims
With the fall Of the blood pressure the
victim may finally end up in a faint due to

This kind Of shock is produced by the re-

Many other things containing protein can
