definite and without any long
period in bed either. This comes
down essentially to the discov-
cry Of practical methods of
sclerosing veins.
An illustration may help us to
understand the real difficulty
about varicose veins. Whoever
has gasoline enough nowadays
and takes even a short drive
along streets left neglected in
wartime has the picture before
him. He wants to 60 TO Jones
hardware store. All right he
used to drive down Chestnut
street. But nowadays the sur
face of Chestnut street is full of
holes and rough spots on the
surface, and he has to 60 slowly.
He learns to make little detours
and he gets TO Jones all right
BY going along Maple street.
Well, the veins are merely
highways and every blood COR
puscle is a kind OF motor car.
In the course of time the inside
OF the main vein up the leg
Chestnut street-gets rough and
traffic is slowed up. Then the
valves in the main vein break
down. The blood could get up
the leg by going along the other
veins-cslled collateral circula-
tion in Doctors ianRuage-and
these other veins not having
been subjected TO as much
traffic are still in good repair.
But the blood not being en-
dowed with sentient judgment
can't choose the sensible course,
80 il goes up the old main high
way because hydraulic pressure
pushes IL into that channel.
THE only way 10 stop II is TO
Il close the highway. And
that is what sclerosing the veins
does, and that is what the mod
ern treatment of varicose veins
is. The sclerosing Is done with
a solution injected into the vein
which completely destroys the
lining and makes the vein
shrivel and grow into a fibrous
cord.

QUERIES FROM CLIENTS:
WORLD IN REVIEW

Cooperation requires not the
action of one nation. in this
case ourselves, but a conpara-
bic attitude and action by other
nations concerned.
The Republican party puts
squarely up to the other great
nations, which will be associated
with US in victory. to make dec
larations of policy. ! think they
have not yet done this.
Some of our current writers
and speakers seem to demand
that American cooperation be
unconditional.
Apparently they desire that
this country engage to under
write detectives of the other
states and pledge ourselves to
wage war to enforce them. be-
fore we know what they are.
We are not to have the privi-
lege OF cooperation on our own
terms. Would not such an
avowal, at this time. and in ad-
vance of the commitments of
other nations, be a blind COM
mitment?
The United States does not
lack established foreign policies.
Our Monroe Doctrine. and our
far eastern doctrine of the ter
ritorial and administrative in
tegrity of China, and the open
door" have been American pol
icies for decades.
But our policy for the future
OF Europe is still unprecedented.
Europe is a small continent
made up OF a large number OF
distinct nationalities. with ma
tional tongues and national ter
ritories.

pies of the world are there such
