For hay fever, associated with the typical nasal discharge, Psorinum is much the most commonly curative drug, given in the interval. There is a very similar hyperaesthesia in the mucous membrane to that on the surface in Psorinum children, and a dose in the spring will wipe out hay fever of long standing. It does not help in the acute condition, but a dose given in the spring, before the hay fever season starts, can stop hay fever altogether. Psorinum has a spring aggravation.
Bromium is useful for the fat, warm-blooded child, with rather hypertrophied tonsils, who gets an attack of hay fever coming on usually about June; rather later in the Bromium child than in many of the others. Some start in the middle of May, but the Bromium cases do not usually start until June. The outstanding characteristic of the Bromium hay fever is an extreme hyperaesthesia of the mucous membranes and dust of any kind will set up an acute attack during the irritant period.
One small boy had a typical Bromium hay fever, and if he went into a room which was being dusted would start a violent attack right away, quite apart from any exposure to irritant out of doors. A few doses of Bromium completely stopped it.
These Bromium hay fever cases may get asthmatic attacks which are fairly typical. They get very sudden spasmodic attacks with a sensation of extreme constriction of the chest, and extreme difficulty in swallowing. Another point is that although their apparent hay fever does not entirely subside at the seaside their asthma entirely goes.
A cure of hay fever takes two or three seasons to confirm. Hay fever is really several different diseases. Sometimes its definitely related to tuberculosis (phthisis) and others I don’t know yet.

Hay fever is brought on in the fall and is supposed to be caused by the patient's over-sensitiveness to irritants that develop about that time; sometimes it is attributed to the hay that is curing in the fields at that time, sometimes to the different weeds that grow up then. Such patients have often been able to ferret out the thing that they are susceptible to. But psora is at the bottom of all these troubles.
