Germ Theory OF Disesse-A theory

growth OF tna lowest form OF iungs-
commonly termed bacteria, Whose
power OF reproduction, under favor
able conditions, is 80 great that q
single germ will increase to fifteen

and unchecked in its increase would
grow to a macs of eight hundred tons.

be furnished. There is no condition
under which it can be said to be alb
sent. unless it be from fire or air flt-
cred through cotton-batting in nu-
mero1s layers. A single drop OF
water containing q germ, put into
water boiled. filtered and thus freed
from ba cteria, will grow murky in g
day or two from the development of
new germs. Wnen it is considered
that it requires about forty billion to
weigh one grain, come remote idea
can be had Of the capacity of germ
reproduction. Professor John Tyn-
dali, in late work, deliberately treats
OF the influence of germs in the pro-
psgation OF disease and charges upon
this cause, the inception and develop
ment of very many of the ailments
most injurious to man. Professor
Pasteur, an eminent French savant,
has carried his original and beautiful
experiments 90 far, md from them
deduced such practical results as very
greatly to diminish the number OF
cases of anthrax among sheep and
chicken cholera among fowls, -p,ov-
ing his theory that these are essenti.
ally and actually germ diseases.
These germs are carried into the sys-
tenn through the lungs, the stomach
and possibly the skin. but through
the lungs chiefly. Once in the sys-
tenn, they begin to develop, poisoning
the blood, invading the nerve oenters.
