TO ocean.
More than one-half the people are
affected by it. It has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become a national question. Sena-

are discussing it.
They are not only considering the ex-
tent and chronic nature of the disease,
but the possibility of finding national
remedy to meet this national calamity.
The cstarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to
be the main expectation in this direc-
ton.
DIR. Hartman, President of The Hart

Peruna, over forty years ago, and the

THE UNITED STATES and Great brl-
tain, after egging Japan on Russia, are
anprehensiye lest an alliance be formed
between China and japan. The two
EngIish-speaking nations have therefore
sent war ships to Chinese ports ostensl-
Div to protect their subjects, but really
to thwart any purpose the Monaghan
may have of forming coalition. Japan
success is having its natural effect upon
the Chinaman, aud he, too, is dreaming
of military and naval proves. Such a
contingency as the yellow peril has
long ago been provided for by the nations
most interested in Gripping and humill'
ating Russia, and while union OF emma
and Japan is possible, it is extremely
improbable at present, at any rate. IL
has often been predicted that England and
the United States will yet experience
trouble with the yellow man. Should the
latter emerge victorious in the war now
being waged he j. sure to become intOXi-
Gated with success, and there will be ex-
treme danger in formulating a peace
basis as Japan may manifest obduracy
when those who made her a catspaw at
tempt to dictate the terms upon which
hostilties must cease.
