Summary: Cartoon shows Uncle Sam as a sick man seated in a chair. One bandaged hand is labeled 'Cost of Living;' another 'Prohibition.' A bandaged foot is labeled 'Strikes, Bolshevism,' and a bandage on his head, 'Taxes.' His arm rests on a crutch labeled 'Congress,' and he is soaking a foot in a tub labeled 'Treaty Complications.' Smoke from the fireplace is labed 'Soft Coal Deadlock.' Medicine and pills are labeled 'Wilson's Capsules' and 'Lodge's Dope.' A newspaper on the floor is dated 'Thanksgiving Day, 1919.'

Harding drew for the Brooklyn Eagle for 21 years, winning two Pulitzer Prizes.
