DREADS THAT SET UP DISEASE
ANOTHER OF LIFE'S MYSTERIES
A new word is creeping into medical language. It is allergen," and it has a most fascinating history. For this word signifies these mysterious, unknown crea Tures of circumstances which are the dread of certain members of the com- munity. We have all heard of those 'dreads, and most of us have laughed at them. But in these läst days science has come to the rescue and takon sides with the victims They are suffering, it iş quite cortain, from a real physicr effect of a most definito physical cause.

The same thing is true of a person suffering from cat-sensitiveness who has been tested 1 with cal's haiņu," But cat's hairs have no effect on horse- sensitive individuals nor horses' hair on cat-sensitive ones.

He is indifferent to all others.
It is now thought by many American "workers that most cases of asthma are due to an allergen of one kind" or an- other. Unhappily the number of these seems to be almost infinite, for any of us appear to be able to develop sensitive ness of this kind. Thus many people suffer from nettle rash and even diffi cult breathing after eating oysters or other shellfish, or even ordinary fish. Others dare not touch cheese or milk or butter in case they bring on an attack It is still rather a mystery how the Bonsi tiveness begins in the first instance though it has been found possible to “sensitise" (anjmals, to various allergens by various means.

This subject has a very, wido importance, not only in connection with asthma or skin rashes, but also in com nection with the administration of drugs, and especially of sera.

A MODERN FLORENCE
· NIGHTINGALE.
A message from Athens states that Major Barton, who has just arrived from Corfu, says: "Miss Raymond, the daughter of the British Consul thers, in the bravest woman, I have ever met. Six weeks ago, when epidemics began to decimate the doctors and nurses, Miss Raymond stepped in and devoted her. energies day and night to reorganising the battle against disease. The situation was desperate, eight of a handful of doctors being dead, but Miss Raymond risked her life hundreds of times, and is now winning a great victory. Corfu justly regards her as another Florence Nightingale "C
