our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one OF territorial expan-
sion, or whether we are to remain aloof
from International complications, is the;
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention of the world is di-
rected toward us. The deliberations of
eur Congress have come to be Of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health OF our:
people. Catarrh has already become q
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half of
the people are affected by it. 1t has be-
come such a serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries of the medical
profession and become national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about it,;
Congressman are discussing 1T. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
posi- bility of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
