During the 1967–1968 school year a prevalence survey of major allergic diseases could be performed among 4,781 kindergarten pupils (5 and 6 years old) and 2,451 9th grade students (15 years old) attending the Geneva public schools. These samples represent about 85% of the corresponding age groups of the total population. The survey was conducted by individual interviews and physical examinations with trained physicians and nurses. The data were coded, recorded on Keysort marginal punch cards and processed manually. The following preliminary results deal essentially with the prevalence of respiratory conditions: asthma, hay fever (with or without bronchial obstruction) and perennial allergic rhinitis.

“…(4) While it i s logical that the feeding of soy bean milk to the newborn will diminish the incidence of allergic disease due to cow's milk during the newborn period and early infancy, it i s difficult to understand why this should prevent the development of subsequent allergic disease as the child grows older.-The high incidence of subsequent, allergic disease developing in children who have had allergic eczema (atopic dermatitis) in infancy and childhood is well documented. Ratner and associates (29) estimated 59 per cent; Vowles asid associates (34) 72 percent and the studies in my own practice (19), an incidence of 80 percent. This last figure is higher than the others, probably because the recurrent upper respiratory disorder of allergic origin and perennial allergic rhinitis sufficiently severe t o require thorough allergic study are included.…”

The late Dr. Joseph Breiinemaii (1872-1944, a distinguished pioneer in American pediatrics, was particularly known for his clinical studies of the nutrition of the newborn human infant. About twenty years ago he made the following statement (6): "The milk of every mammal is specific for its young. To this m a n i s no exception. (The italics are mine throughout.) There is, furthermore, evidence that the milk of one mammal is not only imperfectly adapted to the young of ohher mammals, but that there i s even something harmful in non-specific ,milk. The essential nature of this specificity is unknown. While it may eventually prove to be largely, or wholly, a matter of chemistry, there i s reason, to believe that there i s also a n intangible biologic factor."It is the thesis of this presentation that Brennemann's statement is correct and that the intangible biologic fact,or which he foresaw is allergy, and, moreover, that a practical application can be made of this knowledge which will go far towards alleviating the scourge of allergic disease, in the human infant aiid child. When I first began practice in 1929, it was the custom of many pediatriciaiis to start infants on raw egg yolk a t the age of three months. This method of feeding had been recently introduced because a t that time there was very widespread interest in rickets aiid anemia in infants and egg yolk was believed t o be a good prophylactic agent for both. It was' soon discovered in the feeding of raw egg yolk to infants three months of age or less that many developed rashes or other evidence of intolerance, and within a few years this practice was almost universally discontinued. Egg yolk subsequently was not introduced into the diet until the age of six t o nine months when it was conimonly tolerated without difficulty. T h i s observation suggested that during the interval between three months of age and six to nine months of age, the infant developed some type of protection against allergy to egg.
