Editorial note — Chapter V · DYSPNEA—CAT AND HORSE ASTHMA

[Footnote 32: A case of this kind came under observation as this book was nearly ready for the press. The patient, a young woman in an office, had to refuse a vacation with a wealthy friend in Florida, because she knew that friend could not be separated from her pet cats, five in number, and the patient would have been intensely miserable were she near them, so that even the joys of Florida in the winter did not make up for the constant, intolerable discomfort they would have caused her.]
