a Wonderful Theory That Concerns the
Welfare. Happiness and Life
OF Everyone.

In his quiet and coy library at the close
of busy day cat a gentleman and his wife,
he absorbed in q new book and she in the
newspaper. Quickly CHANGING toward her
husband, she asked, at q certain point in
the article:
"John, what is the germ theory!n
=" The germ theory-well-yes; just look
in the encyclopedia under Germ that will
explain it so much better than can.n
Accordingly his wife opened the book at
the word named and read: Germ Theory
Of Disease-A theory advanced by the
ablest and best investigators and scientists
Of the times. It supposes the surface Of
to greater or less extent with Z peculiar
growth of the lowest form Of funEi--coms

Production, under favorable conditions. is

and unchecked in its increase would grow

days. time, IL space and food be furnished.
There Is no, condition. under which a can

or air filtered through coston-batting in
numerous layers. A single drop Of water
containing germ, put into water boiled,
Uttered and thus freed from bacteria, will
grow murky in day or two from the de-
velopment of new germs. When It a con-
sidered that it requires about, forty billion
toweigh one grain, some remote idea can
be had Of the capacity Of germ reprodnc-
fion. Prof. John Tyndall, in a late work,
elaborately 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. Prof Pasteur, an emil
nent French sayant, has carried his ORIGIN

as very greatly to diminish the number of

This Is seen in the everyday experience OF
ALI The healthy man resistS the influences

those whose systems have become weak
from any cause readnys contract colds.
This Ii on the same principle as the germ
theory. The germs attack any weakened
spot in the body, and q king themselves
plain therefore that IL is only by FORTH ing
the weak portions of the bady that the
germs Of disease can be resisted and driven
from the system. But this has proved al
most an impossibility heretofore, and it
has been the study of physicians for years
how best to accomplish it. Within the past
few years, however, Appropriation has been
attracting great attention, not only
throughout the entire land, but among the
medical profession and scientists general
ly, which is based upon this theory, and it
may safely be said, no remedy has ever
been found which can sosuccessfully place
the system in a condition to resist the
germs of disease as Warmers Sale Cure.
This article is uHquestionably the best and
most efficient that has ever been discovered
Tor this purpose, and ~
"John, say, John does the encyclopedias
advertise Warmers Safe Cure?
~ should not wonder, dear, it's grand
remedy, and that pamphlet we received the
other day stated that DIR. Gum, Of the
United States Medical College Endorsed it.
At all events the wonderful cures it is &C
complishiBg entitle it to be honorably 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.found that can put the sys-
tenn in a condition to kill these germs be-
fore they obtain hold upon the body, and
undermine the life.
