the body with anti-bodies. But
the real villain of the hay fever
and other similar griefs is now
believed to be chemical called
histamine which is normally
found in minute quantities in
most of the body tissues. Pollen
and the antibodies it creates
combine to cause the liberation
of histamine in the body. The
histamine in turn dilates the
blood vessels so that the tissues
which the blood vessels feed be-
come swollen and gorged, like
the stomach of a man who has
eaten far too much. When the
tissues of the mucous membrane
of the nose get this indigestion
and stomachache, the result is
hay-fever or perhaps rhinitis.
Other tissues so afflicted may
result in hives, asthma or worse.
Histamine thus acts as sort
of fifth columnist in the body
for allergens. But it was only
recently that histamine's devil
Gus underground work was dis
covered. Once that was estab-
lished, however, the research
laboratories got to work and de-
veloped the so-called antihis-
taminics. Of these, Neohetra-
mine, as shown in the Criep-
Aaron report, is the least likely
to produce in the patient such
side reactions as dizziness and
drowsiness.
The antihistaminics have been
found valuable also in other re-
spects - notably in overcoming
certain patients allergies to
drugs which it is necessary to
administer to them. During a
recent operation for tumor at
Temple University Hospital,
penicillin injections had to be
given woman patient. To these

Did You Know Hayfever Is Caused By Love-
Love of the Ragweed for Its Mate?

In the Fall ragweed's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love
and this month, throughout most
of the United States, every up.
standing ragweed will be on the
hunt for a mate.
All this seedy pursuit of hap
piness is all right for ragweeds
but it's tough on you if you are
one of the millions who suffer
hay fever as the result of in
haling pollen. In that case you
cannot afford to look down your
nose at the activities of the
young ragWeed Romeos and
Juliets. Many of them may not
find each other, but find your
nose instead. Worse, they may
even have a date there.
In that case you ought to know
about Neohetramine (2-(N-
dimethyl-aminoethyl- N -p-meth-
oXybenzyl) amino pyrimidine
mono-hydrochloride) and don't
sneeze at that either. This inter-
esting sounding and acting drug,
product now made available by
Wyeth Incorporated on doc
tors prescription, has been found
in a number of recorded clinical
tests to give relief to 80 per
cent of seasonal hay fever suf-
fererS, and what is most remark
able of all, with almost complete
absence of deleterious, or "side,"
effects
These tests, as reported by
Drs. Leo H. Criep and Theodore
H. Aaron of the University of
Pittsburgh Medical School and
Montefiore Hospital to the
American Academy of Allergy,
showed Neohetramine to be the
safest of all similar drugs. In
fact the incidence of side effects
was so low that they named it
the safest" antihistaminic.
Neohetramine, the physicians
showed, has also proved star
tlingly effective in curing or
moderating headache, bronchial
asthma, the skin eruption known
as urticaria, and allergic rhinitis,
The tests were extensive, 124
hay fever sufferers being treated
with Neohetramine by Drs
Criep and Aaron.
The development of Neohe-
tramine is the result of clever
medical detection work. Aller-
gies are q comparatively recent
medical discovery. The WORD
"allergy" has been in the Ian
guage only half century. It is
now known that the inhalation
of pollens, especially that ol
ragweed, can produce asthma
sneezing, face swelling an
other allied symptoms. Many
foods, shellfsh and strawberrie:
for example, wool, cat fur anc
scores OF other things may cause

West Virginia May Decide Control Of Next Congress

West Virfginia's hot Senatorial battle drew fresh attention today as the Presidential candidates spared between their final cam paign rounds.
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey omitted that State from his windup tour which opens next Tuesday in Chi cago. President Truman has made two campaign visits to West Vir- ginia, put ing in a special vote plea for Matthew M. Nicely who seeks to unset COP Senator Chap man Revercomb.
 Holding Senate control by only a six-vote margin now, the Re- publicans may need to win the West Virginia race to retain the upper bond.
 Dewey and Revercomb have not seen eye to eye on the displaced persons issue, but the top high command sent national party chairman Hugh D. Scott, Jr., to Huntington last night with a spe- cial plea for the Senator.
 From top to bottom" Scott said, the Republican party and the national ticket want Rever- comb reelected. And l do mean from top to bottom," he added
 The party chairman said there wasn't sufficient time" on Dew ey's schedule to permit him to come there in person.
 That's why I'm here," Scott added. After he spoke, Revercomb told the party rally:
 'I am here to say that win or Dsc I shall continue to represent . people of West Virginia as man who will not bow to ou side lictation."
 He did not ampl;fy the remark.

 The newspaper said R. C. (Bob) Reeve, owner of Reeve Aleutian Airways, related in Anchorage:
 "They jam us both mechanical ly and by voice. Our commun- ications hove been jammed too frequently for the interference to be accidental"
 Reeve said radio conversations from pilots to Aleutian bases were jammed, as well as ground in structions to pilots making GCA (ground control approach land ings in the islands.
 Reeve was also quoted as say ing that pilots of another commer- cial airline have been led off course on flights to Japan by false radio bearings which he said or iginated in Russia. The other air line was not identified in the dis patch.

Thursday. October 2l. l948

(By The Associated Press)
 The Big Five powers pledged themselves in favor of peaceful settlement of their differences.
 It remained to be seen tomor- row, when the Berlin blockade de- bate is resumed, whether the ac- ton was more than words. The big five are the United States, Russia, Britain, France mad China. They agreed to Mexican resolu- ton to that effect in the United Nations political committee.
 Informed sources said there is slim chance at least that the six smaller powers on the security council will be able to bring Rus sia and the western powers to solution of the Berlin crisis. One neutral source said deputy for eign minister Andrei Vishinsky of Russia had given conditional ap- proval to a neutral plan for solv- ing the Berlin issue. An American spokesman said the plan is accept able and satisfactory.
 The plan is said to appeal to the United States. Britain, France and Russia to make no move that would lead to war; call to life Russia to lift the blockade; the four powers to put into effect the tentative Moscow accord which would have made Russian-spon- sored marks the sole Berlin cur rency; and the foreign ministers council to meet afterwards on all German problems. The Russians frightened the blockade a little more with railway restrictions.
