    Rosin-W eed ils that seemed more important than hay fever and have not heretofore taken up the matter of publishing our experiences with the drug. Realizing that there were many hay fever victims both in this country and in Europe who might just as well be getting the relief that this drug would give them if they only knew about it, and having no de- sire to profit by my possession of the secret of this remedy, I made the announcement last summer, first to the American Institute of Homoeopathy and next to the United States Hay Fever Association. I announced it first to my old society, the Institute, be- lieving that my friends there, who have known me many years, would credit my statements as made in good faith and give the drug a fair trial. The Dose. Beginning ten days before the expected attack, give ten drops of the fluid extract of rosin-weed in a little water four times daily, after meals and on retiring. To children, give five drops. If the symp- toms of hay fever appear, increase the dose to twenty and even thirty drops and con- tinue this dose through the entire hay fever season.
