The cures are first aimed at the
home : ailments or deformities in the
infections such as Influenza, bron
chitis, pleurisy, scariet fever, whoop
ing cough, measles.
Before treatment is undertaken the
patient Is thoroughly examined and
tested by the various substances, now
known to be hundreds in number.
Treatment is then given according to
what the examination and various
tests showed.
This treatment consists of various
drugs, of which adrenalin stands first;
proper attention to diet, rest, and out
door exercise; vaccines; the surgical
removal of adenoids, tonsils, growths,
or deformities in nose and throat; the
use of pollen extracts before and dur

Dr. T. 8 Heaton, Toronto, who

He believes that the treatment of
hay fever and asthma by the avoid

air filters are of great value in fighting
