It was organized to relieve hav fever sufferers wherever found, and the members are not a bit d seouraged over the fact that no panacea has been discovered in the meny years of its existence. Cures of every de scription have been investigated, but the association has decided that tbe only real relief is for the sufferer to seek a place where he is practically immune from the disease during tbe hay fever season. The selection of Rethlehem as the meeting place of the association was made on merit, for llethlehem has tbe largest num ber of exempt re)xrts of all the places where the hay fever persons go for relief.
