Definition: This is an acute usua!!y recurrent and distinct!y seasona! in"!ammation o" the nasa! mucous membrane sometimes e#tendin$
to the con%uncti&a o" the eye and the membranes o" the pharyn# bronchia! tubes and 'ustachian tubes.
Symptoms: (hi!e de"ined as an acute in"!ammation which is sub%ect to recurrent and seasona! acute e#acerbations the catarrh is
continuous but is pecu!iar!y sub%ect to pronounced increase in se&erity o" symptoms in the months o" )ay *une *u!y and +u$ust. ,n the
-outh it may !ast a!! the year. .asa! obstruction with rhinorrhea and much snee/in$ are accompanied by con$estion o" the con%uncti&e
waterin$ o" the eyes itchin$ o" the eye!ids nose and pa!ate. There is headache and !assitude and occasiona!!y paro#ysms o" asthma. ,t
may be described as a se&ere co!d runnin$ on day a"ter day with no !et0up and o"ten $rowin$ worse "or the !on$er it persists in the
acute sta$e the more sensiti&e the mucous membrane becomes.
Etiology: 1ay "e&er bein$ seasona! de&e!ops !ar$e!y in the sprin$ 2rose0co!d3 and in the autumn 2autumna! catarrh3 and is said to be
e#cited or e&o4ed by inha!in$ the po!!ens o" certain p!ants and $rasses 5 ra$weed $o!denrod cedar timothy $rass etc. The condition o"
hypersensiti&eness to the to#a!bumin o" po!!en is ca!!ed anaphy!a#is or a!!er$y. -ince howe&er a!!er$y does not cause itse!" this theory
o" cause does not $o deep enou$h. ,t "ai!s to account "or the !oca! hypersensiti&eness to norma! e!ements o" man6s natura! en&ironment.
+!thou$h it is true that dust po!!en emanations "rom horses cats do$s birds etc. and e&en co!d air wi!! dri&e hay0"e&er su""erers into
into!erab!e su""erin$ this does not pro&e them to be causes o" hay "e&er. +nythin$ that irritates a sensiti&e mucous membrane occasions
a rush o" b!ood to the point o" irritation and the pourin$ out o" an e#udation to "!ush away the irritant.
(ithin recent years enterprisin$ doctors ha&e disco&ered that some hay "e&er sub%ects are a!!er$ic to their sweet0hearts and su""er an
e#acerbation 2a$$ra&ation3 o" symptoms e&ery time they &isit their !o&ers. ,n a "ew instances the source o" irritation was "ound in the !ip0
stic4 rou$e and "ace powder or e&en in the per"ume but in other instances emanations "rom the !o&er6s hair were b!amed.
The mista4e has been made o" considerin$ norma! e!ements in man6s en&ironment 5 po!!en and emanations "rom anima!s 5 as causes
o" hay "e&er7 whereas the true cause the basic cause is the cause o" the sensiti/ation o" membranes which norma!!y are not sensiti&e to
po!!ens etc.
1ay "e&er is simp!y a pecu!iar type o" chronic catarrh which on!y a sma!! percenta$e o" catarrha! sub%ects de&e!op. Two peop!e ha&e
catarrh to the same e#tent7 one de&e!ops hay "e&er the other does not. The sensiti&e indi&idua! is neurotic the other is not. 1ay "e&er is
chronic catarrh in a neurotic sub%ect.
The non0neurotic su""erer "rom catarrh wi!! be in"!uenced !itt!e or none by the inha!ation o" dust po!!en smo4e pun$ent odors or co!d
air. 8Hot dogs8 are the on!y do$s o" which , 4now that may he!p to cause hay "e&er.
1ay "e&er rests on a basis o" ener&ation and to#emia. The hay "e&er su""erer is made hi$h!y to#ic by his ener&atin$ habits which inhibit
"u!! e!imination o" norma! body waste. The sub%ect bui!ds his disease dai!y by 4eepin$ his stomach deran$ed with his meats potatoes
breads pies ca4es pastries butter brea4"ast "oods and e&en with his !uscious "ruits co&ered with cream and su$ar. These thin$s o&er0
stimu!ate him and produce a to#ic state o" his b!ood which "urther adds to his ener&ation and produces ner&ousness and sensiti&eness as
we!! as catarrh.
Prognosis: 9omp!ete reco&ery may be e#pected in si# wee4s or !ess in the &ast ma%ority o" cases. + "ew cases persist !on$er than this
time.
Care of the Patient: :unnin$ away "rom the e#terna! sources o" irritation is mere!y a pa!!iati&e measure. ;oin$ to dust!ess po!!en!ess

<rost to put an end to po!!ens wastes a !ot o" &a!uab!e time and causes the su""erer to endure a !ot o" misery. -earin$ the nose wearin$

Definition: + circumscribed !oss o" tissue in the stomach usua!!y in&o!&in$ both the mucous membrane and the deeper structures. +n
u!cer di""ers "rom a wound in the "o!!owin$ ways= + wound arises "rom some e#terna! source7 an u!cer has its cause within the body. +
wound is a!ways idiopathic7 an u!cer is a!ways symptomatic. The tendency o" the wound is to hea! because its cause is remo&ed= the
cause acted but momentari!y. +n u!cer persists and o"ten en!ar$es because its cause persists and o"ten increases. The hea!in$ o" an u!cer
there"ore depends primari!y upon the remo&a! and correction o" the interna! condition o" which it is but a symptom. This done the u!cer
>uic4!y hea!s.
Symptoms: ?ain usua!!y paro#ysma! se&ere and !oca!i/ed thou$h it may radiate to the bac4 or sides is usua!!y present. ,n many cases
ta4in$ "ood induces or a$$ra&ates the pain and this !asts unti! the stomach is emptied either by &omitin$ or by emptyin$ into the
intestine. @oca!i/ed tenderness is o"ten "e!t. Aomitin$ usua!!y o" undi$ested "ood and acid "!uid which is >uite "re>uent usua!!y comes
on "rom one0ha!" hour to two hours a"ter eatin$. 1emorrha$e into the stomach with &omitin$ o" b!ood occurs in more than ha!" the cases
and is said to cause death in about twenty per cent o" a!! "ata! cases o" u!cer. There is an e#cessi&e secretion o" hydroch!oric acid
2hyperacidity3. -ymptoms o" indi$estion 2dyspepsia3 precede most cases thou$h in some cases there are "ew symptoms unti! sudden
per"oration into the peritoneum p!eura pericardium or intestine with hemorrha$e occurs.
Etiology: +s $astric catarrh e&o!&es the catarrh passes to in"!ammation "rom in"!ammation to induration 2hardenin$3 and "rom
induration to u!ceration. -tomach u!cer is the end o" a chain o" stomach disorders be$innin$ with irritation 5 indi$estion "rom
imprudent eatin$ or drin4in$ 5 which when &ery se&ere or o"t repeated causes in"!ammation 2catarrh37 and when the abuse o" the
stomach is continued u!ceration "o!!ows or induration 2hardenin$3 then cancer.
Becided!y ner&ous indi&idua!s who consume much starch 5 bread ca4e and pastry 5 are more inc!ined to de&e!op u!cer. (here there
is a decided acidity o" the secretion in"!ammation and u!ceration are a!most sure to de&e!op. Biscom"ort and o"ten $reat pain accompany
this condition.
Prognosis: This is &ery "a&orab!e in a!! ear!y cases. )any persist "or years then reco&er. :e!apses so common under re$u!ar care are
due to "ai!ure to remo&e causes. +d&anced cases in the pro"ound!y ener&ated may end "ata!!y in spite o" the best o" care.
Care of the Patient: The pa!!iati&e treatments in &o$ue are so unsatis"actory that a noted +merican sur$eon recommends that u!cers be
remo&ed a"ter they ha&e been cured nine times. +s in a!! other troub!es the "irst necessity is the remo&a! o" the causes 5 immediate and
remote 5 o" the troub!e. +!! ener&atin$ habits must be discontinued and su""icient rest in bed secured to permit o" restoration o" "u!!
ner&e ener$y. + "ast both to hasten e!imination o" to#emia and to $i&e the stomach an opportunity to hea! is essentia!. 9hronic
pro&ocation by "ood indi$estion and dru$s pre&ent hea!in$. <ood a!so 4eeps up the e#cessi&e $astric secretion. C
'&ery hea!th bui!din$ a$ent 5 sunshine e#ercise etc. 5 shou!d he emp!oyed as ear!y as possib!e.
Dperations are notorious!y unsatis"actory in u!cers. <irst the operation does not remo&e the cause o" the u!cer. -econd the u!cer is in a
"ie!d o" in"!ammation in the mucous membrane which in"!ammatory "ie!d may be >uite !imited or may in&o!&e much o" the $astric
mucosa and an operation wi!! remo&e the u!cer but there is a!ways >uite an area o" in"!amed mucous membrane !e"t a"ter the u!cer is
remo&ed and this in"!amed membrane tends to u!cerate. Two three "our "i&e and e&en more operations are per"ormed "or the remo&a!
o" u!cers as these persist in de&e!opin$. There is nothin$ to restore an in"!amed mucous membrane to hea!th when the causes o" the
in"!ammation are !e"t operati&e.
