German
Syrup

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead Of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that Is
coughed up is those
disease. parts of the lungs
wifi ch have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little baci1li, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, 1oosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and SO nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. %
