NEW HAY FEVER CURE PROMISED * Chicago, Oct. 25—A million Amer- icans, who wheeze and sneeze with asthma and hay fever are promised relief and permanent cures in a new method of treatment being consider- ed at the convention of the Amer- ican College of Surgeons. Asthma ‘and hay fever are due to local infection, the new method claims.
