The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-09-18


telephone. the electric light and various
other inventions were unknown to man.
The discoveries and inventors of all
these things, and everything else that
has been OF great value to mankind,
met with the strongest opposition,
and had to perfect their inventions in
the face of persecution, calumny and
|, Misrepresentation.
Admitting that the scientists and
microscopists, and all the leading
minds of the century have been
actively at work, battling against
ignorance and superstition, that they
might give to the race such inven-
tons and discoveries, they have never
been able to conceive of anything
that would successfully combat and
destroy the innumerable armies of
microbes that swarm in the air we
breathe, the water we drink, the food
we eat; nay! which infest our every
being, and which carry down to death
each year more victims than war,
pestilence and flood combined. This
has been the great need Of the
world Ito discover the cause of the
many ills to which mankind is subject,
and likewise an etfectual cure for the
same.
1t has we'll been said that health
Gods best gift to man-is the only
stock in trade we have, and since it
has been demonstrated beyond the
possibility of doubt by the patient
and thorough Investigations of the
leading scientists of the world that
microbes are the cause of all diseases,
it will freely be admitted that a genu-
inc Microbe Killer, in its action safe
and sure to humanity, and ~ certain
death to microbes, would be the grand
est discovery ever made by man. The
world is indebted to none other than
William Radam, the subject of our
sketch, for the invention of q genuine
Microbe Killer-due only to his pa
tient ,persistent and laborious toll in the
field of scientific research. He is an
American, and his name will 60 down
to future ages inscribed up On the scroll
of fame far above that of every other
inventor or benefactor of his race.
In early life an ordinary florist, he
has for many years made study OF
natures laws and of her operations in
bringing about change and decay in
organic formations with the result
that he has been able to define a close
parallel between animal and vegetable
life in the cause and cure of every di,
gression from standard health. In
his Investigations he has advanced far
beyond the line of theory. Long ago
steady watch on the proceed
ings of nature led him to formu-
late the idea that germs or microbes
are the immediate cause of every
health disturbance; but he did not
rush into print with it. He tested it;
value, and only now, when thousands
and millions of persons throughout
the country can testify to it. does he
offer to the world complete and ex
haustive history of his important dis
covery. 1t simplifies disease and the
treatment of disease. 1t Gle ars ava,
the mysteries with which medicine
has long been ens hrouded and points
out plain, well.defned way by which
health can be sustained and conse
quently life prolonged.
The magnitude which the bushes
has reached can best attest to the sue
cess of his great enterprise. There ar
already fourteen factories and labor
atories established for the manufac
ture and sale of the Microbe Killer
