NEW EFFEC TIV E HAY FEV ER
R E L IE F
Hay fever, which annually
causes m ore sneezes, m ore in­
flamed noses and m ore red,
stream ing eyes than any other
scourge, m ay have its final big
fling this Septem ber, all because
a Pennsylvania electrical engineer
w as served a dish of corn m eal
m ush which was entirely too salty.
The engineer, sneezing, and
with all other hay fever m an i­
festations, stopped a t a hotel
w here he was served a dish of
m ush which he considered send­
ing back as it was m uch too salty.
Finally he ate it, how ever; the
hay fever attack lessened, ul­
tim ately ceased. Next day he had
three m eals, all oversalted, and
experienced his m ost com fortable
tim e in years in the “ hay fever
season.”
His analytical m ind quickly
grasped the possibility th at the
saline substance in his food w as
responsible for his relief.
About this time. Dr. E. E. Sel-
leck, a graduate of Columbia Uni­
versity, m et the engineer, m ade
notes, and when he retu rn ed to
his home, began experim ents. To­
d ay Dr. Selleck declares he has
found a certain m eans of relief
for hay fever and is supported in
his contention by other m edical
experts, and a nationally known
chem ical m anufacturing concern,
the Hollings-Smith Com pany, at
O rangeburg, New York, has ta k ­
en over m aking the rem edy, which
is called Nakamo Bell.
Describing the experim ents.
Dr. Selleck said, “ After I w as
sure I had found a m eans of
q u ic k ly r e l i e v i n g hay fever
through the chloride group, I
tested it in the most practical
way I knew. I held a three day
clinic, to which m any hay fever
sufferers responded, from ages
ranging from 10 to 60 years. Each
person was given two tablets with
a little w ater. Some relief cam e
to all within ten minutes. R eports
on these cases during the ensu­
ing weeks showed practically a
com plete cessation of sym ptom s ”

Modern life with Its hurry and worry.
Irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—ita risk of exposure and infec­
tion—throws heavy »train on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter ex ec« acid
and other impurities from the life-givins
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling -feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are eorae-
tim es burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan’s P ills. Doon's help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom­
mended by grateful users everywhere.
