In his quiet and cosy library at the close
Of q busy day sat a gentleman and his
wife, he absorbed in anew book aud she
in the newspaper. Quickly glancing to.
ward her husband, she asked. at a certain
point in the article,
John, what Is the germ theory?"
"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 al
the word named and read: Germ Theory
Of Diseasa-A theory advanced by the
ablest aud best investigators and scientists
OF the times. It supposes the surface Of
the earth, the air and water to beinhabtted
to q greater or less extent with peculiar
growth OF the lowest form OF fungi-com-
monty termed bacteria, whose power oil re.
production, under favorable conditions, Ia
so great that single germ will increase to
fifteen million in twenty.tour hours time,
and unchecked in It's increase would grow
to mass OF eight hundred tons, in three
days time, II space and food be furnished.
There ia no condition under which 1t can
be said to be absent, unless 1t be from fire
or air filtered through cotton-batting in
numerous layers. A single drep OF water
boiled, filtered and thus freed from bac.
terra, will grow murky IN day or two
from the development Of new germs.
When it is considered that 1t requires
forty billion to weigh one grain, some re:
mote idea can be had Of the capacity oil
germ reproduction. Professor John Tyn'
dali, in late work, deliberately
treats Of the influence Of germs in the
propagation OF disease and charges
upon this cause, the inception and devel-
opment OF very many Of the ailments
most injurious to man. Professor Pasteur,
an eminent French Bavant, has carried his
original and beautiful experiments so far,
and from them deduced such practical re-
suits rs very greatly to diminish the mum.

chicken cholera among 10 wls, 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
III the system, they begin TO develop, pois'
oning the blood, invading the nerve cent:
ers, disturbing the functional activity Of
the great organs Of the body aud inducing
general Impairment OF the vital processes.
They are the cause OF fevers, rheumatism,
Bright's disease OF the kidneys, pneumo-
mia, blood.poit oning, liver disease, diph-
iberia and many other ailments. Lately
Professor Koch, famous German physl-
clan, has proved that consumption OF the
lungs is due to this cause.-The presence oil
a peculiar germ.
When the circulation ia bounding, the
nerves elaetic and the system all aglow with
life and energy, the germs seem TO develop
atall. But with weakened nerves,
poor digestion or malassimilation OF food
Or a lowering OF vitality from any cause,
change ensues, and in this impoverished
and weakened fluid the germ finds a genial
home and develops until symptoms OF diH-
ease are distinctly manifested. This is seen
IN the everyday experience OF all. The
healthy man resists the influences around
MIN and does not take cold, while those
whose systems have become weak from any
cause readily contract colds. This is on
.he same principle as the germ theory.
The germs attack any weakened spot in the
body, and fixing themselves upon i, begin
their propagation. 1t 10 plain therefore
hat it Is snly by forttfying the weak por-
lions OF the body that the germs OF dis
Ease can be resisted and driven from the
system. But this has proved almost an

Year,, however, a preparation has been a.
.racling great attention, not only through
put the entire land, but among the medi-
cal profession and scientists generally,
which is based upon this theory, and 1t
may safely be said. no remedy has ever
been found which can so successfully place
he system in condition to resist the
germs Of disease as Warmers Safe Care.
This article is uuqueslionably the best and
most efficient that has ever been discovered
'ot this purpose, and
"Juhn, cay, John does the encyclopedia
advertise Warmers Safe Cure 2"
~ should not wonder, dear, it's grand
remedy, and that pamphlet We received

United States Medical College, endorsed it
At all events the wonderful cures it is &C
entitle it to be honorablyj
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 fouEd that can put
the system in q condition to kill these
germs before they obtain hold upon the
body, and undermine the life.
