YELLOW FEVER MICROBES.
They Are SO Small that Billions Can

They Are SO Small that Billions Can
Inlabit Drop of Blood.
A yellow fever microbe has tie ap-
pearance Of three joints of sugar cane.
got them from Washington in glass
tube, that somewhat resembled gourd.
The tiny miscrobes are placed in the BIZ.
end. but by looking at it you can never
tell that there was anything but air in it.
The small end is sealed up, and the
microbes are in there, though apparently
dead. Some microbes live in such places
for twenty years.
We will suppose, now, that we want to
look at some of them under the miro
scope. Upon the little glass side we put
a drop OF gelatine, Of the consistency
that will not run. We take cambria
needle, and after heating it to destroy
all microbes that may be in the air. we
quickly break the seal of the glass tube
and insert the needle, drawing it out
quickly, and resealing the neck of the
tube.
We insert the needle into the drop of
gelatine on the slide. and quickly out ON
the little cover to shut out such germs or
microbes that may be floating IN the air.
Then we place the slide under the micro
score. In forty.uve minutes the mi
crobes have fully arousedfrom their Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep, and now YOU sec
what curious things they are. AS | said
before, they resemble three joints of
sugarcane, but the Joints are not straight,
but at opposite angles.
Take this fellow for instance, and you
see a joint drops off, leaving him with
two joints. Presently another joint joins
onto the dropped joint, and by this time
third joint appears ON No. l. Now
look at No. 2 and there is third Joint.
Now a joint drops from No. l, and by
the time it gains another joint, No =
drops O joint, and this with the Joint
from No. 2 join together and there is
mlcrobe No. 4. Another Joint grows on
Nos. 1 and 2, and one drops from No. 3,
and these joining together make microbe
No. 5. and so they go, until the little
drop OF gelatine is a working, seething
mass of microbes. Now, these microbes
are in the blood of a yellow fever patient,
and there's where they live They get
into blood corpusc,e and eat out all the
red part, as darkey eats out the red
meat OF a watermelon, and the blood is
then a drop of clear fluid.
TO gve you an idea Of how many can
crowd into corpuscle of blood, let me
say that it takes $500 corpuscles strung
together to make an inch. Well. YOU can
string just $50, 900 microbes across the
diameter Of one corpuscle, conse 1uently
YOU can guess billions after ilions Of
microbes are in drop Of blood. The
theory is that these microbes eat away
the patients blood from him Sin a very
sh 1T time Some men can stand the
letting of more blood than others ants
consequently some men recover from
yellow fever

which represent the whole amount of
damages, S43,2oo,o 900. 1t must be
apparent to the reader why the citi-
zens testify as they do, and why their
testimony should be taken with ex-
ceptions. Question: Who received
this vast amount of money, and what
consideration was given in exchange?
The citizen; probably received two
thirds for board, lodging, medicine
and baths, and the railroad compan-
les one-third for transportation. The
question still remains: Did the visit
ors receive benefits commensurate
with the outlay? No, a thousand
times, no. The doctors say that the
thermic water does not depend on
the mineral solids held in solution
for their curative qualities. Then
the water must depend alone on its
thermic character. Why then use
mineral water? Why use this partic-
ular thermic wate4? Is it not a fact
that continued use of mineral water
will create disease in human bodies?
Will this particular mineral water
cure disease created by other miner
al water? Answer, oh We wiseacres
of the wilderness? This hypothetical
case is not overdrawn, but is entirely
within the bounds of reason and
probability. The boy has seen hum
dreds of visitors arrive and depart,
and has conversed with many in re-
gard to their past and present condi-
ton, and has yet to find a man who
claims to be cured>by the use of the
thermlc water. Many acknowledged
that they were relieved if not in per-
son, in purse. Cripples come and
cripples 60. The city smiles and
the water flows, and will continue to
do SO until some investigating COM
mittee will write up I'll the facts in
the case and publish the same to the
world. Then the city and Hot hill
heaved in will not sell for money
enough to pay the taxes on the same.
In his next the boy may further
arralgn the citizens of the city for
their gross impositions upon suffer-
ing humanity, and will specify some
of the ways that are dark and trio ks
that win in the celebrated city of sin.

1t was at first a strawberry color but
