CURE SUCCEEDS
MEDICAL ATTACK ON HAY FEVER United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 15, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 15. The treatment for hay fever, which has been given a trial over a period of five years at St. George’s Hospital, London, has proved successful in 99 per cent, of the cases. The treatment involves the application by electricity of a coating of ionised zinc to the inside of the nostrils. Three or four applications are given, after which the majority of patients are free from attacks of ordinary hay fever for a year. Precautionary applications are given at the end of 12 months, and again a year later, and after that there is usually no recurrence of the trouble.
