Doctor Talk
By Reinbert Benjamin, M.D.
This Is the time of year when
millions of annual hay fever
victims begin to -suffer because
of their susceptibility to the
dust and pollen particles which
are in high concentration.
There is a large percentage
of the population which is un
fortunately very sensitive to
certain plant, particles. As a
result these persons are very
uncomfortable with such typi
cal symptoms as nasllconges
tlon and excessive secretions
from the nose and eyes, -andTa
general irritation of the upper
respiratory tract.
Hay fever, or allergic rhini
tis, is actually a disease brought
on by a' reaction of the hody
to foreign particles capable of
inducing a response largely in
the mucus membranes of the
respiratory system.
Usually those persons only
mildly involved can be relieved
with any of the new antihista
mines. For the more severe
cases your doctor may find it
necessary to prescribe more
potent medication.
In some instances; it may be
profitable for the patient to
submit to a very extensive skin
reaction test in order to deter
mine the degree of his allergy
to specific substances. From
this information the allergy
specialist may prepare a vac
cine, composed of those sub
stances to which the patient is
found t>/be very sensitive.
Whyn the vaccine .1$ given to
the patient by way of multiple
intermittent injections a gradu
al desensitizing effect Is es
tablished in that particular pa
tient. This person is then
better able to withstand the
effect of exposure tt) these* ir
ritating particles.
When all means of control
are found to be ineffective, one
may have to avoid exposure by
resorting to a complete change
wherp the pollen concentration
Is usually found to be dimin
ished.

Monsters In Our Depths
By Bob Brewster
Reports of sea serpents of
mpnsters areusuallydlsmlssed
i:< figments of a vivid Imagi
nation, particularly when they
come from your favorite fish
ing hole rather than from the
ulgtrtal spawning grounds of
Loch Ness.
However, there are several
gargantuan fish In our waters
that inlght qualify for the "mon
ger" label, say the fishing
nithorltles at Mercury out
board-. '
Take the alligator gar, for ex
ample. Here's a rough, tough
customer with a mouthful of
sharp teeth and dimensions to
unnerve the bravest of men.
Weighing more than 300 pounds
and reaching a length of almost
10 feet, this granddaddy of the
gar tribe reflects his prehis
toric origins In a truly
frightening way.
Providing unusual sport on
the lower stretches of the White
River In Arkansas and other
southern locations , the alligator
gar does not attack man. He
gets a bit touchy when boated
or towed ashore, so If you
value your limbs give his wicked
Jaws a wide berth.
The sturgeon Is another
throwback to an ancient age.
His weird appearance plus am*
pie proportions combine to pre*
sent an awesome sight, While
size records {or sturgeon are
uncertain, one of 1800 pounds
has been reported In' British
Columbia. An Eurasian va
riety Is claimed to reach weights
of more than a ton.
Though formidable In appear
ance, the sturgeon's tempera
ment Is unlike that of the le
gendary sea serpent. Since he
possesses no teeth, using a
strange tube-like mouth to feed
on the bottom Instead, he pose*
no hazard to Intruding humans
The third oddball In our waters
Is the paddleflsh, a pot-bellied
creature with a long snout. He
has been known to reach 200
pounds In weight and six feet in
length. This monster belles
his ferocious* profile, and feeds
on tiny plankton Instead of
'"man-sized" rations as one
might suppose.
So next time you hear a wild
tale, give It a bit of credence,
urge the Mercury folks.
