If active and healthy. liver, Kidneys
and bowels have to wonderful extent the
power of expelling these deadly animalcu-

: The studies of LANCISCA, al eminent Ital-
Ian, and WOOD, Formal and others, are in
teresting, as showing the large va
riety OF chronic diseases as heretofore
CLASSIFIED, that result from these germs.
Among the most common were silver COM

chitis, kidney diseases, Chronic diarrh9S,
spinal complaint, fever-sores, white SWELL

In this large catalogue of apparently
widely differing diseases, but really all de.
pending upon common cause, and there
fore naturally to be successfully treated on
the same general principles, examination
of the blood and secretions revealed large
numbers of these parasites, and curiously
enough the number bore a direct relation
to the severity of the disease, a cumpara-
lively small number being present in mild
cases and very large proportion in bad
cases. Under the use of the specific treat
r1ent which they give, and which is sub

The greatest variety of symptoms were
found to accompany their presence, due to
peculiarities of the constitution, the part of
the body most seriously affected, and the
efforts of the different organs to rid the
system OF these germs. Among the most
common were frequent headaches, neural
gic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or
variable appetites, diarrhoea, bad breath,
hectic fever, cough, night-sweats, cold ex-
tremities, dyspepsia, catarrh, sore throat,
sore eyes, etc, while where the skin was
affected, salt-rheum, boils, carbuncles,

and other symptoms due to the Efforts of
nature to throw of and expel these germs
were also readily. controlled and cured in
the same way as were. the old sores, alb
scesses and ulcers in the lungs, liver. and
other important organs. The pale and
waxy hue and enlargement of the glands,
due to the early signs of their presence,
were at once improved and soon disap-
peared under the system of treatment
adopted.
1t is found that in robust health the puri:
flying action of the liver and excretory or
gans soon expel from the blood the few
germs that may gain entrance, and that
otherwise would remain IL these glands
were not active, and create serious disease
The presence of these germs in the air in
rooms occupied by sufferers with such af-
fections, points to the necessity Of keeping
them well aired and summed. Weak per-
sons should not expose themselves by
sleeping or remaining in such rooms or by
All, clothing and discharges should be
thoroughly disinfected and kept clean.
Aucus, saliva, etc, must not be expector-

be stirred up and dEfused through the air
by sweeping and busting. Pure air and
plenty OF Sunshine are necessities in these
affections and good food requirement to
keep the body strong and capable of resist

should be corrected in time. ,fs
