''The germ theory well-ycs
fiust look in the encyclopedia under

better than I can"
Accordingly his wife opened the
book at the word named and read
Germ Theory Of Disease-A theory
advanced by the ablest and best in
yestigators and scientists of the
times. Ii suppOses the surface oil
the earth, the air and water to be in
habited 90 a greater or less extent
with q peculiar growth of the lowest
form Of fungi commonly termed
[ bacteria, whose power of reprOduc-
ton, under favorable conditions, is
/ so great that a single germ viii in
crease to fifteen million in twenty
/ four hours time, and unchecked id .
| its increase would grow TO q mass Cf.
eight hundred tons, IN three days
time, if space and food be furnished .
| There is no condition under which .
| It can be said to be absent, unless it .
be from fire or air filtered through .
colton-batdng in numerous layers. .
A single drop Of water containing q /
germ, put into water boiled, filtered F.
and thus freed from bacteria, viii. .
grow murkv IN day or two from -he|
development of new germs. When /
. it is considered requires about /
forty billion TO weigh one grain, .
some remote idea can be had of the.
capacity Of germ reproduction. F.
Professor John TyndaIl, in late
work, elab0rately treats of the in.
aueuce Of germs in the propagation F.
Of disease and charges upon this T.
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 so far, and from them
deduced such practical results as
very greatly to diminish the number
/ of cases Of anthrax among sheep and
/ chicken cholera among iOwls,-
. proving his theory that these are es-|
/ sentialIy and actually germ diseases.
! These germs are carried into the
system through the lungs, the stOm-
aCh aud possibly the skin, but through
the lungs chiefly. Once in the sys-
TEN, they begin to develop, poison
ing the blood, invading the nerve.
J Centers, disturbing the functional
activity Of the great organs of the
body and inducing a general impair
ment Of the vital processes. They
are the caGss Of fevers, sheumatism
| Brighrs disease Of the kidneys,
|pneumUlia, blood poisoning, liver
I disease, diphtheria and many other
ailments. Lately Professor Koch, a
famous German physician, has
proved that consumption of the lungs
/ IS due to this cause.-The presence Cf
/ a peculiar germ.
| When the circulation is bounding,
/ the nerves elastic and the system ali
aglJw with life and energy, the germs
| seem to develop poorly, if ut all
. But with weakened nerves, poor
digestion or malassimilatiCu Of food
. or a lowering of vitality from any
/ cause, a change ensues, and in this
Impoverished AID weakened fluid
| the germ finds a genial home and
/ develops until symptoms of disease
are distinctly manifested. This is
seen in the everyday 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 weak
cncd spot in the body, and fixing
themselves upon it, begin their
/ propagation. 1t is plain therefore
that it is only by fOrtifyinE the weak
, portions Of the body that the germs
/ Of disease can be resisted and driven
/ from the system. But this has
| proved almost an imposs. bility here
/ tofore, and it has been the study of
. physicians f1s years how best 10 &C
. . Co~pish it, Within the past few
years, however, preparation has
/ been attracting great attention, not
only throughout the entire land, but
among tbs medical profession and
chemists generally, which is based
upon this theory, and it may safely
. be said, no remedy has ever been
e. found which can so successfully
iplace the system in a condition to
