husband, she asked, at certain point in
the article,
'"Johh, what IL the germ theOrSf" 7
"The germ theory-well--Yss just look

'exphm il so much better than can"
Accordingly his wife opened the book at
the word named and read Germ Theory

and best investigators and ecieutists Of the

be had ol the capacity Of germ reproduction.

eminent French savant, has carried his
original and beautiful experiments so far,

into the system through the lungs, the
stomach and possibly the skin, but through
the lungs chiefly. Once in the system they
begin to develop, poisoning the blood, in
yading the nerve centres, disturbing the

cause OF, ievers, rheumatism, Bright's di-

many other ailments. Lately Professor

is plain therefore thatit is only by fortify-
ing the weak portions OF the body that the
germs of disease can be resisted and driven
from the system. But this has proved al
most an impossibitily heretofore, and il has
been the study Of physicians for years how
best TO accomplish il. Within the past few
syears, however, preparation has been at
tracing great attention, not only through
out the entire land but among the medical
profession and scientists generally, which is
based upon this thepTyJ and 1t may safely
be said, no remedy has ever been found

However the facts above stated may be,
the truth remains, that the germ theory of
