HAY FEVER SUFFERERSFIGHT FALL ATTACKS

Many Visit Woman's Clinic andStart Course in Special

Treatment.Hay fever sufferers, »ho are af¬

flicted with the fall type of the dis¬ease, are now coming; to the Woman'sEvening Clinic, at 1022 11th street,for beginning of treatment againstthe fall attack.Not only the pollen from tj-ees,

grasses and weeds, which causes thesuffering have been collected to beused in the treatment, but extractsof certain of theBe have been madeand already treatment of patients hasbegun, by hypodermic injection ofthese extracts, notably ragweed.Patients are first tested with sev¬

eral kinds of pollen upon the fore¬arm, in order to determine those towhich the patient is most sensitive.There Is also a test made as to thestrength of solution of the pollenwhich the patient reacts to, in orderto determine with which strength tobegin the treatments.Injections of the extract should be

given, physicians said, before he sea¬son in which the hay fever victimis attacked, in order that the syBtemmay be brought through treatmentup to a state where it will "tolerate"the pollens floating through the airwithout affliction.Fall sufferers should take advan¬

tage of the present time to seek medi¬cal relief, it was said, from whomso¬ever they wish, as the five to sevenday interval required between in¬jections renders this period in ad¬vance of the fall especially timely. *
