Health and Beauty
The word allergy is compara
tively a new-comer to medicar
nomenclature, though its efforts
have tormented the human race
since the dawn of history.
Only 10 to 15 per cent of
mankind suffer from allergies,
or idiosyncracies, to certain
foods. These people are made
sick by eating, or coming into
contact with articles of food
that are wholesome and neces
sary to the vast majority of hu
man beings.
Some people inherit their al
lergies, according to the men
delian laws of inheritance. The
whole subject is wrapped in
mystery, which the medical pro
fession has never succeeded in
fully clarifying. Why some folks
are sensitive to one kind of
food and not to another, no one
knows.
Even nursing babies are
sometimes made sick, if their
mothers eat foods to which they
are sensitive. Just as soon as
the mother finds out what she
has eaten that disagreed with
the baby, and leaves it strictly
alone, the child recovers and
has no more attacks unless the
mother again yields to the
baby's undoing. t J ,
There are many dif{9??nt?
symptoms of allergy manifested
by the sufferers.
Many baffling diseases, parti
cularly in infante, such as ec
zema, asthma, stomach and
bowel disorders, are due to mlik
or some other articles of food.
It is often extremely difficult
to determine the course of cer
tain alarming symptoms, or sud
den, or even chronic illness.
A very unusual case of aller
gy was reported by a physician
about as follows: The patient
was around fifty years of age.
He gave a history of asthma of
many years standing. He de
scribed terrific attacks which he
attributed to heart failure. The
seizures started suddenly with
a feeling of tightness in his
chest. He itched intensely all
over and became very weak, fol
lowed by complete loss of con
sciousness, which continued
from fifteen to twenty minutes,
after which he gradually re
turned to his usual state of
health. This man described sev
eral attacks which came on af
ter licking postage stamps.
On one occasion he had a vio
lent attack on putting on a
pair of shoes that had just been
repaired by a cobbler. Fish
made him extremely ill, so he
avoided eating them. Fish glue
had been used in repairing the
shoes. He was tested and found
to be very sensitive to fish and
all fish products products, even
to the glue on the stamps.
This patient was advised to
avoid any contact whatever with
fish or anything pertaining to
fish. He promptly recovered and
had no more attacks as soon as
he completely avoided fish and
its products.
It is often extremely difficult
to find out what the offending
substance is. Reactions to skin
