Help For
A||ergy
Sufferers
,, HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

MORE and more people these
days seem to be suffering from al
lergy or oversensitivity. One rea-
son, Of course, is that we know more
about allergy.
In recent times number Of drugs
called antihistamines have been pre-
pared. These drugs neutralize his
famine, which is formed in the body
in excessive amounts in patients
suffering from this allergy or over
sensitivity. These preparations have
been helpful in treating a large
number Of patients with a variety
Of skin disorders. The drugs are
given by mouth, as a rule, three or
four times a day
Skin Condition
Following an injection of peni-
cillin, some patients develop hives,
or 4 skin condition known as cry
thema multiforme. Nineteen pa
tients with these disorders were
treated with either pyribenzamine
or benadryl, which are anti-hista-
mine drugs. In IA of the 10 patients
treated the conditions cleared up in
from two to three days. Two of the
patients, who were not benefited by
either of the drugs alone, were
given both together, but were not
helped.
In one series of cases, 81 patients
with q skin condition called atopic
dermatitis were also given these
preparations. Atopic dermatitis is
a skin Inflammation which develops
from contact with substances to
which the person may be sensitive.
In order to keep this condition un-
der control, the drugs must be given
over longer period of time, that is,
from one to three months. OF 20
patients treated with the pyriben-
famine, three were freed of their
symptoms and IA were greatly i'm
proved after two to three months,
while two were not helped. Of the
12 patients treated with benadryl,
four were cured in one month, six
were improved, and two were not
helped. Of five patients given both
drugs, one was improved and four
were not helped.
Taking the Drug
In some patients, the taking of
the drug only at the time the con-
dition flares up may keep the skin
free from the rash.
DR.. Grant Morrow treated q pa
tients who had itching around the
lower bowel opening. Seventeen of
them were given pyribenzamine,
eight were given benadryl, and two
were given both preparations. Eigh-.
teen Of these patients were either
cured or greatly relieved by this
treatment.
Some doctors believe that, for the
relief of itching, pyribenzan1ine is
better than benadryl. Furthermore,
they feel that reactions to the pyri-
benzamine seem to occur less often
in many cases.
1t must be remembered that these
preparations are not cures. They
only give relief from the trouble
some symptoms, and they must al
ways be taken under a doctors su-
pervision.

NOT everybody can sing well.
But practically everybody can de-
velop some special interest or hobby
from which he or she may gain con-
siderable satisfaction and become
a happier person that is easier to
live with.

to you last, I am much improved
and thought perhaps some other
mother might benefit from this let
ter.

The Nervous, Jittery Mother The
paragraph which speaks of an out
side interest for a nervous person

vised the very same thing.
A Hobby Helps
81 think a hobby helps, too. My
hobby is singing. All my life, ever
since I found out l had, a pretty
good voice, longed to be singer,
but was married and vocal lessons
cost so much; so I never. got a
chance to use my talent until sew
eral months ago. l was asked to
sing with an orchestra and they
liked me enough to have me sing
the same song three times. also
sing regularly in our church choir
Then I have another opportunity
to join the Moose Glee Club being
organized.
II would like to pass this bit OF
advice along to women who get
bored with their house work. When
they are doing some chore, like
scrubhingsor washing dishes, If they
would only sing while they work
they would find it fun instead Of
drudgery. l used to be self-con.
