In the past few years, this observation has been confirmed and many cases of cure of "hay fever" by bacterial vaccines have been reported in the journals.
However, the physician using them should understand that they are not specific drugs against the pollen anaphylaxis but against a supposed catarrh or bacterial infection.
So we have a picture of anaphylaxis as a sensitiveness to bacterial poisons or to foods or drugs that are harmless to most people expressing itself as an urticaria, an arthritis, an asthma or hay fever.
However, bacterial vaccines are much safer than pollen extracts, the technique of their use is not as complicated and they are well worthy of trial in refractory cases if bacteria are demonstrated in the eyes and nose.
As cow-pox vaccine is the greatest preventive we know, the word vaccine might be justified when applied to the bacterial cultures or to the pollens or to any preventative of disease.
Still, the word vaccine for killed bacterial cultures has been advertised so deeply into the medical mind that it is firmly rooted there and not likely to be disturbed by mere considerations of etymology.
