EDITORIAL COMMENT.

THE KANSAS CITY "PRESS" COMMITTEE.-Notwithstanding the dilatory tactics of the "Press" committee at Kansas City, regarding the intentions of the profession there. abouts as regards the American Institute, I am willing to wager a small red wagon that it is working all right and that in our next month's issue I will be able to give a detailed description of all the "doin's" that will take place there next June. The arrangements are being perfected as rapidly as possible; railroad rates are promised, which will make the attendance of large proportions, and I hope everyone will be there.

Lewis Pinkerton Crutcher, M.D., is of the aforesaid "Press" committee, and where Crutcher is there can be no failure. Look out for a full set of instructions in the next issue of THE CRITIQUE, as well as all other homeopathic journals of the country. M.

A GOOD START.-A joint resolution has been presentert to the present Congress of the United States, by the Hon. Morris Sheppard, of Texas, calling upon the President to appoint a commission to "practically test arsenization prophylaxis of yellow fever as advocated by Dr. R. B. Leach." Doctor Leach has been an indefatigable worker in this cause for a number of years, and THE CRITIQUE is delighted to know that this much of a move has been made to promote the doctor's very homeopathic idea. If you have any influence with your member of Congress, write and ask him to call upon Congressman Sheppard and offer his services in a friendly way. If they are not familiar with the theory as advocated by Doctor Leach, they may learn something very decidedly to their own advantage as well as that of their constituents.

It is to be hoped that homeopathic physicians all over the country will take a lively interest in this matter to the end that the good start already made may not result in an abandonment of the cause through lack of concerted action and a disposition to exhibit a confidence in the success of the results to be obtained by this proposed practical test. If you are acquainted with any of the following members of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce committee, write them a line: Hon. W. P. Hepburn, Iowa; Hon. J. S. Sherman, New York; Hon. J. P. Wagner, Pennsylvania; Hon. J. R. Mann, Illinois; Hon. W. C. Lovering, Massachusetts; Hon. F. C. Stevens, Minnesota; Hon. C. H. Burke, South Dakota; Hon. J. J. Esch, Wisconsin; Hon. F. W. Cushman, Washington; Hon. C. E. Townsend, Michigan; Hon. J. H. Gaines, West Virginia; Hon. James Kennedy, Ohio; Hon. R. C. Davey, Louisiana; Hon. W. C. Adamson, Georgia; Hon. W. H. Ryan, New York; Hon. William Richardson, Alabama; Hon. C. L. Bartlett, Georgia; or Hon. Gordon Russell, Texas.

THE DOCTOR AND THE AUTOMOBILE.-Under the rather topheavy title, "The Doctor's Automobile: Why and Which?" two publications of recent issue set forth reasons why a physician should sport a buzz wagon, and among the glowing bits of lucid logic which the advertisement presented-of course it was an advertisement-were the following fulsome subconscious sentiments:

"Another feature of the use of the auto, and one that no physician, of course, would deliberately consider for a moment as being worthy of his highly ethical notice, is the fact that the subconscious mind of the great public from whose numbers the physician draws his clientele, gets a different impression of the auto driver than it forms of the man who makes his rounds on foot, or of the one who ambles about in a one-horse shay, and that impression is that this man is evidently prosperous and up-to-date, hence he must have been able to "deliver the goods" to those who have called upon him for his services. Some of the laity are so constituted that they will choose, as between two physicians, that one who approaches their domicile crowned with the dignified and awe-inspiring "plug" hat; not that I would for a moment advise the auto user to add a high hat to the equipment which he must purchase in addition to paying for the body, wheels, engine and freight. How embarrassing it would be to one so splendidly "equipped" if his wild burst of speed upon some errand of mercy were interrupted by an excited hail from some dwelling, within whose portals he is requested to officiate at a christening or a sudden wedding. Imagine his confusion, nay, indignation, at the mistake! But, just the same, it was the "equipment" which caught the eye in his hypothetical case."

The class of people who employ a physician and who pay their bills with even a semblance of promptness, are those who expect him to make a "noise like a doctor" occasionally; just whether he walks, or rides in a "devil" wagon on which he owes enough to have provided him a six-room residence, or whether his hat is on straight, cuts a very slight figure with those whose good opinion and patronage he is so desirous of gaining; then, again, when you have sized up your up-to-date doctor and ascertain that he not only owes for his machine, but also in many instances for the gasoline that makes it go, as well as for the gloves and goggles so essential in establishing his high standing among the impressionable with the abundance of subconscious sentiment, one naturally wonders if there is much else to expect of a doctor but a good front and an ability to convince people that he is "able to deliver the goods."

The time has evidently arrived when medical colleges will be compelled to establish a chair devoted to the teaching of how to horn-swoggle the public into thinking a man a real doctor, sim ply because he appears the owner of an automobile.

If this essential feature foretelling a doctor becomes prevalent most anyone driving an automobile will be liable to receive calls intended only for members of the medical profession.

You all, no doubt, recall the embarrassment of the lady who instructed her maid to call the first physician she saw passing, excepting the old family doctor, and how mortified she was when a piano tuner, who carried a nice little case resembling a pili bag and who had been called in by mistake, advised her, in reply to her query, "What would you do for it?" to call in a physician.
