Blank outlines the importance of allergy in relation to military service. Allergic manifestations in the Army are quite common, and more than 1 per cent are of sufficient severity to require medical care. The author suggests that greater care in the selection or rejection of the allergic recruit, better facilities for the diagnosis and care of the allergic patient at training centers, and a more effective organization for the purpose of relocating and reassigning allergic individuals would be profitable advances in army efficiency.
Adrenalin Base Suspended in an Aqueous Solution of Sodium Thioglycolate in the Treatment of Asthma. Naterman, H. L.: New England
J. Med. 227: 736, 1942.
Since the insolubility of adrenalin base in tissue fluids rather than the oil in which it is suspended is responsible for the delayed absorption of the adrenalin in oil preparations, Waterman argues that the adrenalin base suspended in an aqueous medium is just as effective and less objectionable. He adds sodium thioglycolate to prevent oxidation. The glycerin, 10 per cent; sodium thiocomposition of the preparation is: glycolate, 2 per cent ; chlorbutanol, 0.5 per cent; and adrenalin base, 2 to 4 mg. per cubic centimeter.
Allergenic Relationship of the Pollens of Dwarf and Giant Ragweed to Several of Their Botanic Relatives. Simon, F. A. : J. Exper. Med. 77: 185, 1943. By means of direct skin reactions and reagin neutralization, the author studied the antigenic relationship between giant and short ragweed, and of the pollen of insect-pollinated ,compositae. On skin test, thirty-eight forty patients allergic to ragweed reacted to other compositae. The degree of reactivity of various pollens varied in different persons. One
