Nobody has ever died of hay
fever, so far as we are aware, but
many thousands of sufferers feel
as Mark Twain said he did when
he was seasick: “Afraid one min
ute I was going to die and afraid
the next that I wouldn’t.”
Speaking quite seriously, the
victims of what is generally
known as hay-fever, which may
be brought on by the pollen from
many kinds of vegetation in addi
tion to hay. will welcome the an
nouncement that relief apparently
is in sight.
Dr. Alexander D. Ghilselin Jr., of
New York’s Presbyterian hospital,
reports that a new drug, anthallan
offers hope to millions of Ameri
can victims of this annoying dis
ease.
Dr. Ghilselin says that tests and
clinical studies conducted in 42
cases at the Presbyterian hospital
medical center indicated that
anthallan was “a useful drug for
obtaining relief in a high percen
tage of cases of seasonal and non-
seasonal rhinitis.”
The doctor adds that this remedy
may be used with entire safety.
During the tests there were only
four failures. Best of all, only about
30 per cent of all patients showed
any tendancy to relapse and even
in these instances a considerable
degree of improvement was retain
ed.
The science of mediceine is con
stantly winning victory over one

I hereby announce my candidacy
