Show NEW EFFECTIVE HAY FEVER RELIEF Hay fever, which annually causes more sneezes, more inflamed noses and more red, streaming eyes than any other scourge, may nave its final big fling this September, all because a Pennsylvania electrical engineer was served a dish of corn meal mush which was entirely too salty. The engineer, sneezing, and with all other hay fever manifestations, stopped at a hotel where he was served a dish of mush which he considered sending back as it was much too salty. Finally he ate it, however: the hay fever attack lessened, les-sened, ultimately ceased. Next day he had three meals, all oversalted, and experienced his most comfortable comfort-able time in years in the "hay fever season." His analytical mind quickly grasped the possibility that the saline substance in his food was responsible for his relief. About this time, Dr. E. E. Sel-leck, Sel-leck, a graduate of Columbia University, Uni-versity, met the engineer, made notes, and when he returned to his home, began experiments. Today Dr. Selleck declares he has found a certain means of relief for hay fever and is supported in his contention con-tention by other medical experts, and a nationally known chemical manufacturing concern, the Hol-lings-Smith Company, at Orangeburg, Orange-burg, New York, has taken over making the remedy, which is called Nakamo Bell. Describing the experiments. Dr. Selleck said, "After I was sure I had found a means of quickly relieving re-lieving hay fever through the chloride chlor-ide group, I tested it in the most practical way I knew. I held a three day' clinic, to which many hay fever sufferers responded, from ages ranging from 10 to 60 years. Each person was given two tablets with a little water. Some relief came to all within ten minutes. min-utes. Reports on these cases during dur-ing the ensuing weeks showed practically a complete cessation of symptoms." Adv. |
