ABSTRAC’TS
grain morning aud evening for a child over seven years. They were observed for control periods lasting t,wo to four months. and then the same length of time while on each drug. It was found that pseudoephedrine given by mouth was more efficacious than ephedrine in lessening the frequency of at,tacks of asthma in childhood. For the relief of paroxysms in adults a standard dose of I/$ grain of ephedrine hydrochloride was t,ake.n as early as possible in t’he attack, and repeated at, hourly intervals if necessary until 114 grains had been taken. Sixty adult patients were so treated, and the side effects of the drugs were observed. It was found that pseudoephedrine was less efficacious than ephedrine in relieving the actual asthmatic paroxysms in adults. It was less toxic than ephedrine; alt,hongh in large doses it produced the same unpleasant side effects. It was concluded that pseudoephedrine is worthy of further t,rial in the treatment of asthma in childhood and in t,he t,reatment of adults who are unable to tolerat,e ephedrine. Xeither were so effective as injections of adrenalin in the treatment of the asthmatic attack.
Inheritance of Idiosyncrasies. II. Hay-Fever-The Key Condition of the Allergic Makeup. Hunhart, E:. : Deutsche. med. Wchnschr. 30: 1631,1934. There are on record family pedigrees which reveal the inherited tendency of pollen allergy. Through double inheritance an allergic disposition is exhibited most frequently early in life rather than in older people. In these early cases one finds important indications of psychopathic conditions. Hence, in pollen allergy with its early recurrence, easy recognition and frequent association with other allergic manifestations, there is offered an opportunity for the recognition of signs of neuropathies or psychic anomalies in the patient and in his family.

In a woman thirty-nine years old who had asthma and pulmonary tuberculosis, on whom it was desired to perform a short gynecologic operation, 3 CC. of evipan were injected over a period of six minutes. This is at a slower rate than usual. The respiration suddenly ceased, and only after an intravenous injection of 10 C.C. of coramine and wit,11 artificial respiration did normal breathing return. Inasmuch as evipan is recommended for patients whose respiratory mechanism is at fault, a warning is issued against its use in asthmatic individuals.
