A Wonderful Theory that Concerns the
welfare. Happiness and Life of Every
one.
In his quiet and cosy library at the
close of a busy day sat gentleman and
his wife, he absorbed in a new book and
she in the newspaper. Quickly glancing
toward her husband, she asked, at GER
tain point in the article,
'.John. what is the germ theoryY
1.-The germ theory-well-yes just look
in the encyclopedia under Germ that
will explain it so much better than
cam
Accordingly his wife opened the book at
the word named and read: Germ Theory
Of Disease-A theory advanced by the
ablest and best Investigators and scientists
of the times. 1t supposes the surface OF
the earth, the air and water to be lnhaD-
tied TO a greater or less extent with pc
culiar growth of the lowest form of fungi
commonly termed bacteria whose
power Of reproduction, under favorable
conditions, is so great that single germ
will increase to fifteen million i'll twenty
four hours time, and, unchecked in its
increase, would grow to a mass of eight
hundred tons, in three days time, If space
and food be furnished. There Is no con-
ditiOn under which it can be SAID TO be
absent. unless it be from fire or air filter
layers. A single drop of water containing
a germ, put into water boiled, filtered,
and thus freed from bacteria, will grow
murky in a day or two from the deVel-
Opment of new germs. When 1T is
considered that it requires about forty
billion to weigh one grain, some remote
idea can be had of the capacity
of germ reproduction. Professor john
Tyndall, in late work, deliberately treats
of the influence of germs in the propaga-
ton of disease and charges upon this
cause, the inception and development of
very many of the ailments most injurious
to man. Professor PaSteur, an eminent
French saYant, has carried his original
and beautiful experiments so far, and
from them deduced such practical results
as very greatly to diminish the number of
cases of anthrax among sheep and chicken
cholera among fOwls-proving his theory
that these are essentially and actually
germ diseases. These germs are carried
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, invading the nerve centres, dis
| turbing the functional activity of the
! great organs of the body and inducing a
general impairment of the vital processes.
They are the cause of fevers, rheumatism,
Bright's disease of the kidneys, pneumo-
MIA, blood poisoning, liver disease, diph-
! iberia and many other ailments. Lately
| Professor Koch, a famous German physi-
clan, has proved that consumption of the
| lungs is due to this cause.-the presence
| of a peculiar germ.
When the circulation is bounding, the
nerves elastic and the system all aglOw
with life and energy, the germs seem to
develop poorly, if at all. But with weak
ened nerves, poor digestion or malassimi-
latiOn of food or a lowering of vitality
from any cause, a change enSueS, and in
this impoverished and weakened fluid
the germ finds a genial home and de-
velOps until symptoms of disease are dis.
tinctly manifested. This is seen in the
everyday experience Of all. The healthy
man resists the influences around him
and does not take cold, while those
whose systems have become weak from
| any cause readily contract colds. This
is on the same principle as the germ
theory. The germs attack any weakened
spot in the body, and fixing themselves
upon upon it, begin their propagation.
1t is plain therefore that it is only by for
tifying the weak portions of the body
that the germs of the disease can be re-
sisted and driven from the system. But
this has proved almost an impOssibility
heretofore, and it has been the study of
physicians for years how best to accom-
plish it. Within the past few years, how
ever, n preparation has been attracting
great attention, not only throughout the
entire land, but among the medical pro-
fessiOn and scientists generally, which is
based upon this theory, and it may safely
be said, no remedy has ever been found
which can so successfully place the sys-
tenn in a condition to resist the germs of
disease as Warmers Safe Cure. This
article is unquestiOnably the best and
most efficient that has ever been dis
covered for this purpose, and
''John, say, John! does the encyclopedia
advertise Warmers Safe CureT
81 should not wonder, dear, it's grand
remedy, and that pamphlet we received
the other day stated that DR.. Gum, of
the United States Medical College, Endorsed
it. At all events the wonderful cures it
is accomplishing entitle it to be honor
ably noted among the great discoveries of
the present century"
However the facts above stated may be,
the truth remains that the germ theory of
disease is the correct one. and that the
great remedy mentioned is the only one
which has ever been found that can put
the system in a condition to kill these
germs before they obtain hold upon the
body and undermine the life.
