FORTY RHJTON GERMS.
"A Wonderful Theory that Concerns
the Welfare, Happiness nd Life


In his quiet and coy library at the close OF
busy day sat a gentleman and his wife, he
absorbed in a rev book and she in the news
paper. Quickly gl1ncing toward her nus
band, she asked, at a certain point In the ar
tice,
''iOhn, what is the germ theory"
The germ theory wel-yes: just look IN
the encyclO liza under Germ, that will eX-
plain it 50 much better than | can
Accordingly his vile opened TIL book at
the word named, and read: Germ Theory of
DiScaSe-a theory advanced by the aDeSt
and best Investigators and scientists Of the
times. 1t suppOseS the surface of the earth,
the air AMI water to be inhabited to a greater
or less extent with peculiar growth of the
lowest form of fungi-c )mmonly termed
bacter a, whose power Of reproduction, under
favorable conditions, is 50 great that single

its increase would grow to mass OF eight
hundred tons in three days time, II s. ace ana

less it be from fire or air filtered through
cotton batting in numerous layers. 4 .nSIe

water boiled, filtered and thus freed from
bacteria, will grow murray IN DAY or Two
from the development Of new germs. W hen
it is cOnSidere Il at it requires about forty
billion To weigh one grain, some remote 'ea'
can be had of the CaI aCity Of germ retfo
ductiOn. Professor John Tyni!al, Ii late
work, Claborateiy treats Of the influence
Of germs i'll the propagation OF disease and
charges upon this cause, the lncapt on ana
development of very many of the ailments
most in furious to man. Professor IaSteur,
an eminent French savant, has carried his
original and beautiful experiments 50 lar,
and from them de lUced such practical results
as very greatly 10 diminish the number OF
cases of anthrax among sheep AMI 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 ceuters, disturbing the functional
activity Of the great organs of the body and
inducing a general impairment of the vital
processes. They are the cause of feyers,
rheumatism, BriGhts disease Of the kidneys,
pneumonia, blood poisoning, liver disease,
diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately
Professor Koch, a famous German physician,
has proved t. at c)nsuml ton of the lungs i
due to this cause.-The presence of a pc uliar
germ.
" hen the circulation is bounding. the
nerves elast and the system all aglow with
life and energy, the germs seem to develop
poorly, if at all. But with weakened nerves,
poor digestion or nal assimilation of food or a
lowering of vitality from any cause, a change
enSueS, and III this impoverished and weaken
ed fluid the germ finds a genial home and
develops until symptoms of disease are dis
tinctly manifested. This is seen in the every
day exp TlenCe of all. The healthy man resiSts
the influences around him and does not take

weak from any cause re tdily cont q t colds
This Is Oh the Sa lie principle as the GERM
theory. The germs attack any weakened
spot III the body, and fixing themselves upon
II, te3in their lgation. 1t is plain there
lore that 1t IS Only by fOrtifying the weak
portions Of the body that the germs Of dis
ease can he resisted and driven from the
system. But this has proved almo t an i'm
possibility heretofore, aud it has been the
study OF phys cans for " arS how best to ac-
compllSh it. Within the past few We rs. how
ever, prepar9tiO has been attracting great
attention, not only throughout the entire
land, bat among the medical profession and
sclenti IS generally, which Is based upon this
theory, and il may safely be said, nc remedy

place the system in condition to resist the
germs of disease as Warmers Safe Cure. This

efficient that has ever been discovered for this

However the facts above stated may be- the
