HalGAT's DISEASE.

The Durability OF This Painful and Dan.

The prevalent notion that consump-

depressing influence on the mind. and
partly through the consequent neglect
of the means essential to cure. we

durability. Its Importance justifies .

ject was lately read by him before the

view, was to prevent the further prog.

ABOUT BACTERIA.
Dr.. Formad's Lecture on Germs at
the Franklin Institute.
Bacteria ~ . Means Of Determining I'm
Daritiss In Water-A Display Of
Bacflll Eating Chicken Stew
and Gelatine.

Prof. Henry F. Formal, OF the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, in his lecture last
evening. at the Franklin Institute on
"0erms and Their Influence on Health"
developed an entirely new system OF water
analysis by which the precise nature OF
organic impurities can predetermined. The
plan ID the capture of bacilli in water.
After they have been secured their nature
is ascertained by color, form and other
characteristics. Then the analyst deter
mines what species OF organic impurity
those particular bacilli live on and the
presence of the organic impurity that the
bacilli affect is thus deduced.
On this plan Prof. Formal has lately
been analysing the water Of the Schuylkin
River. and he says that his results are per-
tectly satisfactory. The lecturer last even
ing had before him q dozen finger glasses
on which there were exposed potatoes sliced
In half. On the fat sides of the half po-
They look like daubs Of paint. The colors
were fine browns, reds, handsome yellows
and pure whites. There were, too, q few
Jars containing the bacteria OF lung and
other diseases. Pots OF gclatine crowded
with invisible microbes and test tubes full
OF the spores OF germs that appear in chol-
era and other complaints were also shown.
The lecturer said:
"This is q very large subject, and one ont
lew Of whose branches can barely touch.

explained the lecturer, as are produced in
sauerkraut, micrococci from the blood OF a
diphtheritic child and also from q case Of
erysipelas.
The lecturer continued:
"While these are seen in diseases, there is
no proof whatever that they are themselves
the cause OF the diseases. To the normal
individual bacteria are harmless, but as
soon as the powers are enfeebled the bac-
terra fight with the blood cells and may
