NEW EFFECTIVE HAY FEVK»> RELIEF Hay fever, which annually causes more sneezes, more in flamed noses and more red, streaming eyes than any other scourge, may have its final big fling this September, all because a Pennsylvania electricalengineer was served a dish of com meal mush which was entirely too salty. The engineer, sneezing, and with all other hay fever mani festations, stopped at a hetel where he was served a dish «f mush which he considered seed ing back as it was much too salty. Finally he ate it, however; the hay fever attack lessened, ul timately ceased. Next day he had three meals, all oversalted, and experienced his most comfortable time in years in the “hay fever eeason.” 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, a graduate of Columbia Ubh versity, met the engineer, made notes, and when he returned te his home, began experiments. To day Dr. Selleck declares he has found a certain means of relief for hay fever and is supported is his contention by other medical experts, and a nationally known chemical manufacturing eenceia, the Hollings-Smith Company, at Orangeburg, New York, has tak en over making the remedy, which is called Nakamo Bell. Describing the experiments. Dr. Selleck said, “After I was sure I had found a means ad auickly relieving hay fever through the chloride group, K 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 tabletswifc a little water. Some relief icsae to all within ten minutes. Reports on these cases during the ensu ing weeks showed practically » complete cessation oi symptoms.** —Adv.
