Many promises were made, and several patients wrote, spontaneously offering to give any help they could in my investigations. With some rare excep- tions, however, I found that the notion these folks had of the term ‘help’ consisted in a willingness, and in most cases an anxiety, to try any remedy that was already known to be a thorough cure for hay-fever.
