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
which have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, 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
hightful 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-
hves become germ-proof and well. @

THE proposition to reduce the term
of military service to two years has
been received with favor by portion
of the German press and is known to
be favorably regarded by the kaiser.
The very vastness and expense of the
German military system, however,
makes it difficult, if not impossible, to
effect the desired change, which would
be a great relief to the people. Some
high military authorities claim that it
would impair the military vigor of the
empire, while others have a contrary
opinion
