He is inter- nationally known as an authority on asthma and its cure . Heading the Balyeat Hay Fever and Asthma Clinic in Oklahoma City, Doc- tor Balyeat employs sixteen helpers, which includes additional doctors, steno- graphers, chemists and technicians . Pa- tients come from every state in the union. Last year, Doctor Balyeat was presi- (lent of the Association for the Study of Allergy, and at the present time is as- sociate professor of medicine and lec- turer on allergic diseases in the Univer- sity of Oklahoma medical school . After graduation in '12 Doctor Bal- yeat had charge of the science depart- ment of Sapulpa and Oklahoma City high schools . He returned to the uni- versity to take his master's degree and his B. S. in medicine and later his M . 1) . Doctor Balyeat succeeded Dr Edwin DeBarr as state chemist . Through the aid of Dr L. J . Moorman of Oklahoma City, Doctor Balyeat was made an interne at the Peter Brent Brigham hospital, controlled by the Harvard medical school . He studied hay fever and asthma and on returning to Oklahoma City, devoted himself to a study of allergy . Doctor Balyeat has been vice-presi- dent of the Oklahoma Academy of Sci- ence and he is author of Hay Fever and Asthma . He is a member of Phi Beta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa . An unusual case of asthma due to wheat sensitization of an infant is de- scribed by Doctor Balyeat : "A little girl, A. T. age seven, was brought to us about six and a half years ago with a history of a very severe asthma of two months standing ; she was then five months of age . On tak- ing a detailed history we found that her father had asthma and hay fever, the pa- ternal grandfather had asthma, the pa- ternal great grandfather had sick head- aches, and two paternal uncles and one paternal aunt had hay fever . "The baby's diet consisted of modified cow's milk. "On testing her with the various ani- mal danders, dusts, pollen and cow's milk we found that she reacted to none, but on testing with wheat she showed a marked reaction . The question arose The Sooner Magazine as to where she was obtaining the wheat that was causing her asthma . On in- quiry it was determined that the milk supply came from a special cow fed on wheat bran . The baby's diet was chang- ed to milk from cows fed on green wheat pasture with the result that she became entirely free from her asthma . Again they tried cow's milk from cows fed on bran with the result that her asthma re- turned . "This baby stayed free from her as- thma as long as she stayed on milk from cows that were not fed on bran . She is now grown to be a good sized girl seven years of age, and is staying free from asthma except for two or three times a year when she will get a small piece of bread or something containing wheat, at which time she has violent attacks of asthma . "It is fairly generally known now of course that even very small amounts of food to which a patient may be specifi- cally sensitive may cause asthma, and it is quite possible for this food to be in the baby's milk supply, whether it be breast milk or cow's milk . For example, a child may be sensitive to egg and have asthma due to egg the mother eats, or sensitive to wheat and have asthma due to bran in the cow's milk ." COMMENT "(1) In practically all cases of allergic diseases in children, including asthma, seasonal hay fever, perennial hay fever, allergic eczema, urticaria, and migraine, food is either the sole factor or a defi- nite contributing factor in the cause of the syndromes mentioned .

HARRY PRICEDr Harry Price of Tulsa was one of

Bennie Owen's best football players backin the early days of the university . Inthose days, good men played varsityfootball during their freshman year .That is, if they were husky and fastenough to hold down a berth.

The Sooner Magazine

graduated from the school of medicine .Doctor Price then held a general practiceuntil '16 when he received the appoint-ment of house surgeon at the ManhattanEye, Ear, Nose and Throat hospital,New York City . He remained in thisposition until he joined the army in1917 . Since 1918 he has been practicingin Tulsa limiting his practice to his spec-ialization . He is a member of the Amer-ican College of Surgeons and the Oto-laryngological association .One of his most interesting cases ."I performed an operation for mastoi-

ditis on a boy of Jewish parentage in1919 . I had two other cases in the hos-pital whom I had operated upon forbrain abscess following mastoiditis . Dur-ing the patient's stay in the hospital, theentire family including his father, moth-er, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncleswere always present."The highly excitable family heard of

my brain abscess cases and were very in-terested and no doubt related the symp-toms to my patient . On the third dayfollowing the mastoid operation, my pa-tient had a chill followed by a tempera-ture of 106 and complained of intensepain in the head . These symptoms wererepeated daily. All tests such as physical,blood and laboratory tests failed to dis-close any reason for the symptoms . Icalled in the best talent I could procurein consultation, but notwithstanding mypatient had a perfect test blood pictureof lateral sinus thrombosis and brain ab-scess, we could get no findings whatso-ever to confirm this . This conditioncontinued for thirty days during whichtime the wound heated and the patientgained in weight . The family was con-stantly on hand ."At the end of thirty days I sent the

boy home . The wound had healed buthe was running a temperature of 102.Three days later I was called by his par-ents as the boy had had another chill fol-lowed by temperature of 107. I wentout, examined the patient, did completephysical and laboratory examinationsand found all of them normal . I foundby questioning the family that when thepatient's temperature would rise theywere in the habit of giving him a dollarand immediately his temperature wouldbecome lower . This

,youngman had

saved $72 .00 by this method during hisillness .

"I had come to the conclusion along;with my colleagues some time previousto this, that the diagnosis in this casewas hysteria brought on a highly emo-tional patient accompanied by a veryemotional family continually excitinghim by suggestions . At this visit I sug-gested to the family in the presence ofthe patient that if he ran temperature inthe future I would put him in a roomby himself; exclude his family completelyfrom all communication . He never had

any more temperature and later gradu-ated from the university .

THEODORE G . WAILSDr Theodore G. Wails, B. S. '19 andM. D. '21, is an eye, ear, nose and throatspecialist, and is a partner of Dr E. S.Ferguson, with offices in Oklahoma City .He has been a member of the medicalschool faculty since 1922 .

pressure on the inner side of each . Sincethis could occur only from infection ofa sinus located behind the eyes, thissinus was operated, pus was liberatedand the pressure relieved . The boymade an uneventful recovery and com-pletely regained his eyesight .

JAMES J . GABLE

19 5

Dr James J . Gable, who received hisdegree of doctor of medicine in 1915has elected one of the most interestingcareers of Sooner medics . He is assist-ant superintendent of the Central Statehospital of Oklahoma .When he was a student one did not

have time for many of what we calltoday "activities" but he was a chartermember of Phi Beta Pi and his popular-ity in his class was testified when he wasmade its president . Doctor Gable wasinterested in chest diseases and was in-fluenced to specialize on mental and ner-vous diseases by Dr Curtis R. Day, thenthe dean of the medical school, and byDr Roy "Hutch" Morter, '13 med ., nowassistant director of the Kalamazoo statehospital at Kalamazoo, Michigan .So it was natural that he spent his

interneship at the Central State hospitalunder the able guidance of Dr D. W.

In 1921 he wasnamed an instructor in the medicalschool in mental and nervous diseases,was made an assistant professor in 1928and an associate professor in 1931 .Doctor Gable is the clinical director

of the hospital, a task in itself requir-ing many patient hours of work, sincemore than one hundred patients are re-ceived by the hospital each month. Eachpatient is given a most thorough ex-

animation, not only of the brain but of]its body as well .His contact with shell-shock and other

psychiatric cases while in France havemade him especially sympathetic for thepatients in the soldier's unit attached tothe hospital . He has assisted numerousveterans to obtain compensation .

Shell shock has an interesting featurein that it occurs today in America fromother sources, it being just another termfor psychiatric neurosis, hysteria, neu-rasthenia, fear and dread. Neurosis isfound as often in the mentally alert.The shock is likely based upon hereditaryneuropathic taint in the person ; the stressand strain of the front lines, or suddenlychanged environment making the patienttotally unable to adjust himself.Doctor Gable, who is a life member

of the University of Oklahoma Associa-tion, contributes to numerous medicaljournals and is a member of the Ameri-can College of Physicians .
