prIIrr FOR POLLINOSIS

RELIEF FOR POLLINOSIS Pollinosis is any condition, state or disease due to pollen. As ex- plained in a preceding talk the popular name, hay fever. is wrong because fever is not characters tic of pollinoSis and pollinosis IS only rarely due to hay. Most cases occurring in the late summer or early autumn, at the season hay Is harvested, are due, not to hay and not to the conspicuous golden rod of that season, but to the ubl' ouitous and unnoticed ragweed pollen of which heavily pollutes the air, with the minute grains that appear under the microscope as burs with prickly covering = well fitted to irritate Things of nose, throat and eyelids.
 Pollinosis occurring in the spring or early summer is more likely to be due to the pollen of orchard grass, crab grass, blue grass or other grasses, or to pigweed, oak tree. elm tree, white ash, curly dock or lambs quarters. We'll assume for the sake or , pickering that you suffer in good faith from pollinosis and you are not just cultivating the trouble as good excuse for a little trip or vacation. Where shall you go for the season, you lucky stiff mean you poor thing? Well, there are many places more or less free from the pollens that cause most pol- linosis. Coronado, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz in California;; New London, Litchfield Hills in Connec- ticut; Duluth in Minnesota; Two Rivers in Wisconsin: Bald Noun tain, Georgia; Green Mountains, Vermont; Albuquerque, New Mexi- co: Salt Lake City, Utah; Smoky Mountains, North Carolina; Adiron- dacks, New York; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Northern Michigan; West ern Washington; Greenville, $. c. There is no place where no ono suffers from pellinosis. These and other resorts merely offer a reasor- able prospect of comfort.
 Nobody knows why John Doe suf- fers so much distress from a little pollen in the air while Richard Roe never notices any trouble at all from it. John is allergic-yes, but who knows what that means? Whatever it means, here is bet John Doe should not pass up, whether he wangles a vacation trip out of the thing or not. In a good many instances of allergic reaction of any description from any cause. the sufferers obtain marked and prompt relief from dose of solu- ble potassium chloride with vita min c. Details of this are given in he pamphlet Relief for Allergy," which is yours for the asking, if you inclose stamped self addressed envelope.
 I have another pamphlet on Hay Fever, which is available on the same terms. Either pamphlet sent by request. If you ask for both, in- close ten cents with the self al- dressed stamped envelope.
