...another in the final were two of the best teams this generation of polo enthusiasts has ever seen. One was Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney's Old Westbury four, last year's winner.

Hence neither inhalants nor drops in the eyes bring more than temporary relief. But fairly reliable insurance for a quiet season is hypodermic injections given two months before the expected illness: a doctor scratches a patient's skin, applies various types of pollen extract; the one which produces wheals and itching is then administered in subcutaneous injections of refined, sterilized pollen...
