single drop Of water containing germ,
put into water boiled, filtered and thus
freed from bacteria, will grow murky In
day or two from the development Of
new germs. When 1t is considered that
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 propagation Of diseass and

ailments injurious to man. Professor
Pasteur, an eminent French savant, has
carried his original and beautiful exper.
iments 60 far, and from them deduced
such practical results a. 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 skid; bdt through the lungs

When the circulation is bounding, the
nerves elastic and the syetem all aglow
with life and energy, the germs seem to
develop poorly If at all. But with weak.

I'd the germ finds genial homie and de-
telops until symptoms of disease are diss
tinctly manifested. This is seen in the
every day 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 booy, and fixing themselves upon it
begin their propagation. 1t is plain.
therefore, that it is only by fortifying
the weaker portions Of the body that the
germs Of disease can be resisted and
driven from the system. But this
has proved almost an impossi.
bility heretofore, and it has
been the study of physicians for years
how best to accomplish it. Within the
past few years, however, q preparation
has been attracting great attention, not

remedy has ever been found which can
