EORTY BILLION GERMS.

! A Wonderful Theory that Concerns tho
welfare, Happiness and Life of Every
QUE.
In his quiet and cosy library at the close
ola busy day sat gentleman and his WIFE,
he absorbed in new book ana she IN tne
newspaper. Quickly glancing toward her
husband, she asked. ia 4

The germ theory -well-yss; just look in
the encyclopedia. under Germ. that will eX-
plain it much better than l can.
Accordingly his wife opened the book at
the word named and read: Germ Theory
OF Disease theory advanced by the ablest
and best investigators and scientists OF the
times. 1t supposss the surfeoe or the earth
the air and water to be Inhabited to a
greater or less extent with a peculiar growth
of the lowest form OF tungi-commonly
termed bacteria, whose power of reprodut-
ton under favorable conditions, is so great
that single germ will increase the fifteen
million in twenty.four hours time, and up-
checked in its increase would grow to a
mass OF eight hundred tons in three days
time, if space a1d food be furnished. There
is no condition under which it can be said
TO be absent unless it be from fire or air fill
tered through cotton-batting in numerous
LAYERS. A single drop of water containing
germ put into water boiled,
filtered and thus freed from bac-
terra, will grow murky in day or two
from the development ofnew germs, when
it is considered that it requires about forty
million to weigh one grain, SEINE remote
iproduciion. Professor John Tyndall,in
ale work, deliberately treats of the infiu-
ence of germs in the propagation OF disease
and charges upon this cause
the inception and DEVELOPMENT
of very many of the ailments Most in
furious to man. Professor Pasteur. an en-
inent French savant, has carried his orig
inal and beautiful experiments 30 far, and
from them deduced such practical results
as very greatly to diminish the number oil
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 csnters, disturbing the functional &C
tivity of the great organs OF the body and
inducing general impairment OF the vital
processes. They are the cause OF feyers.

news, pneumonia, blood poisoning, liver
disease. diptheria and many other ailments.
Lately Professor Koch, famous German
physician, has proved that consumption OF
the lungs is due to this cause.-The presence
OF peculiar germ.
When the circulation is bounding, the
nerves elastic and the system all aglow with
life and energy. the germs seem to develop

ease are distinctly manifested. This Is
seen in the everyday experience OF all.
The healthy man reslsts the influences
around him and does not take cold, while
those whose systems have become weak

lis on the same principle as the germ fheo-

portions OF the body that the germs OF dis

system. But this has proved almost an i'm
