D-32 THE SUNDAY STAR WaiJiMfton, P. C„ Saaday, fakiwy 32, »Sf WHY GROW OLD? Allergies Are Real; So Are the Cures By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN IlKliMl and Trlbunr Syndic it* We sometimes wonder what folks had before they had al lergies! Some cynics say that doctors call an ailment air lergy whenever they do not know what Is wrong with a person. However, the truth is that the treatment of aller gies is a highly technical skill and anyone who has ever had an alergv knows that It is not imaginary. Allergists have saved thou sands of people from discom fort, pain and even death. I myself have known of several dramatic instances of allergy cures. One woman had times when her eyes and whole face would swell past recognition. She went to one of New York City’s finest allergists. He weeded out some cos metics to which she showed some reaction. One shampoo she had been using gave a terrific reaction. She discon tinued this and used one to which she was not allergic. Relieved Everything seemed fine. Was she relieved! Then about six months later she returned to her dermatologist just as swollen up as ever. He, of course, asked if she had again used the prohibited shampoo and she assured him that she had not. Later on she found that her daughter had used -her bathroom (the mother’s) td shampoo her hair and had Washington’s RIAfl Birthday Kl“ ■ • OPEN SUN. ‘3m; * T%lli Regu" (tions require they be labeled "second hand—used furs," but they are astoundingly beautiful... you'd hardly suspect they ever left the showroem . . . never before have these minhs gained such "social acceptance" choose from elegant fur masterpieces . . . priced at fraction of their original costs! .

Lresiau 61412th Street N.W« Between F and G used the diabolical shampoo. In another instance the al lergist could not find the source’ of his patient’s dis comfort. Finally he sent a trained member of his staff to spend the week end at his patient’s home to watch her and try to see where the source of the trouble lay. Three times during the week end she broke out in an awful rash. The stall mem ber found that this happened when the woman watered a certain plant. She was aller gic to it. Allergic to Barbituates One friend of mine almost died before physicians found what was wrong with him. He was having an awful time and was certain that he was dying of some obscure disease. The doctors were at a loss. Finally it was dis covered that he is terribly allergic to the barbituates. He now wears a silver bracelet with this informa tion qn it, so that in case of an accident he will not be given any. Os course these are ex treme cases. Most folks who have allergies have a mild but irritating sort. While the following symptoms do not mean necessarily that you are allergic in tendency, since they may come from other causes, yet you might suspect them, if there seems to be no other physical reason.
