This is delightful story about a small
boy who wanted a bear skin to hang
on his fathers barn and decided to shoot

these cases treatment must be aimed
at desensitizing the patient by injecting
gradually increasing doses of the of
tending pollens The correct pollens are
identified by means of skin tests. After
a certain dosage is reached, symptoms
are often miraculously relieved and
attacks stop.
When asthma occurs as a result of
eating certain foods, the patient may
be skin tested, though food skin tests
are not as reliable as those for pollens.
IF skin tests fail, the patient may be put
on restricted diet, and record kept
of everything eaten and of symptoms.
In this way the culprit foods may be
detected and then avoided.
Of course, there are medicines which
give temporary relief, but as yet there
is no medicine which can surely prevent
attacks in the majority of asthmatics.
The best results come from thorough
examination and study to enable the
patient to be desensitized, or else to
avoid the specific substances to which
he is allergic.

Allergies Cause
Bronchial Asthma

AMON&xt O4OEAOEz0 WHICH
may produce prolonged inconvenience,
suffering and disability. usually without
being of immediate danger to the pa
tents life, asthma ranks near the top
of the list.
1t is characterized by difficulty in
breathing and sort of wheeling sound
as air is drawn in or expelled from the
lungs
The sensation it may produce in the
sufferer is much as though he were
forced to breath in and out through a
tube which is too small to permit
enough air to pass through. This is an
apt smile, for that situation is exactly
what occurs within his breathing pass
ages.
The bronchial tubes are partly OBJ
structed by two things: The first is an
accumulation of thick, sticky secretion
which finally becomes thinner and is
coughed up when the attack subsidies
The second is a sort of swelling or
thickening of the lining membranes of
the bronchial tubes which actually may
be nearly enough to close the channels
through which air must pass with each
breath
Respects No One
Asthma can affect people at any age
and of any nationality, race, or previous
condition of health 1t tends to occur in
acute attacks while as time goes on may
become more and more severe-due to
inability of the bronchial membranes to
return to normal between seizures.
The causes of asthma are several.
Probably the majority are due to the
condition known as allergy This con-
dition signifies representative state
of the patient toward some foreign
material which is either breathed in
with the air or eaten. These substances
are remarkably specific in producing
the reaction of asthma in subjects who
are so representative.
For instance, some patients are al
1ergic to plant pollen. Even a few pollen
grains in the air of, say, for instance,
timothy may reduce the patient to help
1essness, leaning forward on some sup
port and exerting every respiratory
muscle to the utmost to get enough air.
Other individuals may be allergic to
certain animal dander, and a ride back
of team of sweating horses, visit to
dairy barn or even the presence in
the room of a pet kitten may be the
immediate cause of severe wheeling.
With other patients common cold'',
or sinus infection may be the basis of
attacks, and there is group of chronic,
severe estimates in whom any abrupt,
nervous reaction, as for instance that
to slamming of door, bad news or
sudden change in temperature, may set
off wheeling spell.
Weakens the Heart
The danger in asthma is largely due
to chronic changes in the lungs as a
result of the recurrent bronchial OBJ
struction, with finally a weakening of
the heart, and shortening of life through
heart disease. Also-the general resist
ance of the body is weakened by pro-
1onged exhaustion and many estimates
are taken by various infections, bron-
cho-pneumonia and others In Montana
during the past five years, no deaths
